Dynavector Moving Coil Cartridge DV XX-2 MKII
nDescription

nStylus Cleaning

Dynavector have remained the worlds leading moving
coil manufacturer since 1987. The DV XX-2 MKII is theoutstanding result of Dynavectors' continuing research
and advanced technology. Although the construction ofthe XX-2 MKII is both sturdy and rigid it is never the lessa precision instrument. Due care and attention during
installation and handling will ensure optimum performanceand years of listening pleasure.

Keep your records clean. Dust causes record wear andsonic distortion. When cleaning the stylus use the softbrush supplied with the cartridge. Brush only from backto front to avoid damage to the stylus assembly. If a dark
deposit like tan should appear on the stylus tip, always use
the soft brush with a minimum amount of of high quality
stylus cleaning fluid. No-alcohol stylus cleaning fluid isrecommended as routine maintenance.
We do not recommend to use commercial cleaning
vibrators.

The DV XX-1 was the first cartridge to feature a"magnetic ﬂux damper" (patent) and softened magnetism"(patent) processes that reject the magnetic ﬂuctuation thatis detrimental to a moving coil cartridges performance.

nImprovements
The DV XX-2 MKII retains the beneﬁt of the ﬂux damper
but features the Alnico-5 magnet and the similar rigid
construction to the Te Kaitora Rua. Alnico magnets
exhibit high magnetic flux density combining with a low
coercive therefore magnetic resistance is lower than othermagnetic types such as rare earth and ferrite, providing
the exceptional stability of the XX-2 MKII output voltage.
There is also the additional advantage of low magneticand electrical resistance contributing to a discernableimprovement in sound quality.
The XX-2 MKII also exhibits deep powerful bass, treble
is both clear and lively possessing none of the hardness
found in many moving coil designs. This can be accredited
to not only Dynavector's skilled assembly techniques
but also a meticulous attention to design, materials, andengineering expertise.

nConnection
Connect the lead wires from the tonearm to each pin
as shown below.

nMounting to the Headshell
Please use M2.5mm enclosed screws to mount thecartridge. The overhang should be aligned according to
the instruction manual for the tonearm.

nStylus Replacement and Warranty
Dynavector operate an exchange scheme for the XX-2
MKII which entails rebuilding the cartridge. The rebuild
includes replacing all moving parts, ie the cantilever andstylus assembly as well as the coils and suspension. This
allows replacement stylus cost to be minimised.
To qualify for an exchange please return the cartridge toyour dealer or national distributor.
The cartridge is guaranteed for a period of one year fromdate of purchase against electrical and mechanical defectsexcluding user's mishandling or abuse.
If there is any problem please consult your authorised
dealer ﬁrst for service. Should it prove necessary to returnthe cartridge to the factory, you should return the defective
cartridge to your dealer or national distributor, together
with the warranty card. Please keep your original packing
for safe shipping.
