Technical data

• Manufacturer: Yamaha
• Model: MC-9
• Years of construction: 1980 - 1997
• Manufactured in:
• Color: black
• Weight: 5.3 g
• Factory price approx.: 179,- DM

• Transducer principle: cross matrix, moving coils (MC = Moving Coil)
• Needle carrier: aluminum tubes, conically tapering to the tip
• Needle type: 0.1 x 0.2 mm rectangular full diamond needle with elliptical tip (8 x 20 µm)
• Suspension: single-point mounting
• Damper: Equalization damper for V-H compliance adjustment
• Housing: Monoblock connections cast in highly compressed special plastic
• Frequency response: 10 - 20'000 Hz, cut-off frequency 50 kHz
• Channel separation: > 28 dB
• Channel balance: < 1 dB
• Crosstalk attenuation:
• Output voltage: 0.3 mV (at 1 kHz, 5 cm/s, 45° peak)
• Terminating resistance: 30 ohm Active resistance
• Induction:
• Recommended contact force: 1.5 ± 0.3 g (At 20 - 25 °C. At less than 20 °C Room temperature up to set 1.8g.)
• Vertical track angle: 20 ± 2°
• Needle compliance: dynamic: 11 x 10-6 cm/dyme (horizontal), 9 x 10-6 cm/dyme (vertical) and static: 21 x 10-6 cm/dyme (each at 100 Hz, 25 °C), which is about 18^-6 cm/dyne(horizontal) or about 16^-6 cm/ dyne (vertical) at the international (but not at Yamaha!) the usual 10 Hz.

• System connections:
  • white signal line: L+
  • blue signal line: L-
  • red signal line: R+
  • green signal line: R-

• white signal line: L+
• blue signal line: L-
• red signal line: R+
• green signal line: R-

• The output voltage of the MC-9 is only 0.3 mV, i.e. about 1 tenth of the voltage generated by a magnet system (MM = Moving Magnet). If the amplifier does not have a built-in MC preamplifier (MC phono input), you have to use an intermediate amplifier (so-called matching transformer) - also called phono preamplifier, turntable preamplifier, phono equalizer preamplifier - for MC systems.

• Other models of the same series:
• Yamaha MC-1s
• Yamaha MC-1x
• Yamaha MC-3
• Yamaha MC-5
• Yamaha MC-7
• Yamaha MC-9
• Yamaha MC-11
