Phasemation LT-1000 Line Transformer

Twenty Years of Transformer Expertise Applied to Line-Level Signals

The LT-1000 marks Phasemation's first venture into line-level transformation, applying two decades of phono transformer expertise to address longstanding challenges between source components and amplifiers. This passive device solves real-world system problems without the compromise of active circuitry.

Exceptional Channel Separation

Built around a custom 0.1mm Super Malloy core with PC-TripleC wiring, the LT-1000 achieves 100dB channel separation—a remarkable figure for any transformer topology, ensuring precise soundstage imaging and instrument localization.

Key Features

• Five Gain Positions – +6dB, 0dB, -6dB, -12dB, and Mute for optimal system matching

• Simultaneous Outputs – Drive two power amplifiers at once (one balanced, one unbalanced)

• Balanced/Unbalanced Conversion – Connect XLR-only sources to RCA-only amplifiers and vice versa

• Ground Loop Elimination – Transformer coupling breaks ground loops inherent in system wiring

• Natural Noise Filtering – High and low frequency filtering eliminates unnecessary extremes

• Volume Matching – Solves the common problem of excessive system gain

• 100dB Channel Separation – Exceptional isolation for precise soundstage reproduction

• Premium Materials – Custom 0.1mm Super Malloy core with PC-TripleC specification wiring

• Advanced Shielding – Magnetic shield plate suppresses flux leakage

• Floating Structure – Damping rubber isolates transformer from vibration

• Passive Purity – Zero power consumption, no electronic noise, no warm-up required

• Gold-Plated Contacts – Rotary switch and RCA terminals for long-term reliability

Practical Solutions

The LT-1000 addresses real system challenges: volume controls that barely open before reaching listening levels, sources with only balanced outputs feeding amplifiers with only unbalanced inputs, persistent ground hum, or the desire to run multiple amplifiers from a single source. Each problem finds elegant resolution through passive transformer technology.
