INTRODUCING THE AUT-8000 SILVER STEP-UP TRANSFORMER

The AUT-8000 Silver is Allnic Audio's Step-up Transformer. Like all Allnic Audio

products, it uses Permalloy (iron and nickel alloy) for its transformer (step-up)

cores. Allnic is grateful to Mr. G.W. Elmen of Western Electric for inventing

Permalloy for transformer core use, and in so doing, providing an enormous service

to recorded music listeners everywhere.

The AUT-8000 Silver Step-up Transformer has the following features:

•

Silver wire windings on the AUT-8000 Silver's permalloy transformers and silver

connection wire throughout. Silver has the lowest electrical resistance of any

metal. It is 6% lower than that of copper. All electrical energy loss in a

transformer is a result of both coil loss and core loss. The AUT-8000 Silver's

permalloy transformer cores wound with silver coils significantly reduce such

loss. This results in significant, clearly audible, enhanced information transfer

from the AUT-8000 Silver's step-up MC transformers.

•

Use of a five-sectioned sandwich winding method for the transformers reduces

leakage, inductance and capacitance. This significantly improves high frequency

response.

• Dual unbalanced (RCA) moving coil phono inputs. Two pairs of RCA inputs allow

the use of two tonearms with easy switching between them.

• Four step impedance selector. A single selector controls both channels

simultaneously, and provides resistances of 10K, 20K, 30K, and 47 K. This range

will accommodate almost any MC cartridge.

• Easy, push-button muting.

• The AUT-8000 Silver is relatively small and may be installed near the turntable,

allowing the use of interconnection cables that are as short as possible.

• The AUT-8000 Silver has been designed and manufactured to work most

synergistically with other Allnic Audio products, for example the Allnic phono-

stages and preamplifiers.

• As are all Allnic Audio products, the AUT-8000 SILVER is fully RoHS (EU Reduction

of Hazardous Substances regulation) compliant in construction and materials.
