Pursuing our knowledge for cultivating the T-550, which was highly evaluated after it was released in 2020, we polished its sound quality by adding an MM/MC changing switch making it more convenient. The same 10mm thick aluminum slant panel which was used for the grand model T-550 is adopted and designed it so that it gives out high quality.
The front panel is a rigid box structure having a 10mm thick slanted aluminum panel, a 1.2mm thick copper plating board chassis and a 1.2mm thick copper plating cover. Non-magnetic stainless steel screws are used for assembly to ensure rigidity and reduce magnetic distortion.
We adopted our original divided winding wire structure. By winding a low-loss ultra-thick copper wire around a large EI core made of a 0.2mm thick 78% permalloy material, we brought into effect an outstanding frequency characteristic and phase characteristic at a wide band. This achieves outstanding characteristics of excellent linearity for low frequency and high-efficiency gain which reduces phase distortion in the audible band range and brings about a threadlike spatial expression and clearer sound image localization that can fill vitality over the entire range.
An MM and MC changing switch is located on the front panel which makes it more useful.
