Dynavector Moving Coil
Cartridges'The Leading Edge'
For more than 25 years Dynavector's Moving Coilcartridges have continuously enjoyed worldwide
acclaim due to a combination of innovative design,advanced production techniques and an unwaveringcommitment to the musical source.
Over the same period many new formats such as
Compact Disc, MP3, SACD and DVDA have come todominate music reproduction. However many
audiophiles consider that these digital mediums leave
much to be desired when compared to analogue
recordings.
Consumers, and the recording companies remain
confused as to which digital medium will become thestandard and in the meantime the vast heritage ofrecorded music, spanning almost a century, is placed injeopardy.
Fortunately Dynavector have never capitulated to thegiant digital industry and have continued to refine theirunique range of MC cartridges, providing music lovers
with the highest standard of music reproduction thatmatches or surpasses any digital source.
Leading the charge is the legendary Dr Tominari's laststroke of genius, the XV-1. This unique masterpiece
was superb in its original form and the refinements
added to the XV-1s, herald a whole new generation ofcartridge performance.
At any price point, the audiophile can be guaranteedthat a Dynavector MC cartridge will both move andexcite the listener to new heights of listening pleasure.
A pleasure for many that comes only from a genuine
analogue source.

Te Kaitora Rua

KARAT-17D3

Titanium head with and boron cantilever

Low output with diamond cantilever

The original Te Kaitora
cartridge was the resultof collaboration between
Dynavector Japan andDynavector
NewZealand. The Te Kaitora
allowedanalogue
enthusiasts to embark on
a voyage of discovery to
the outer limits of vinyl
reproduction.
Theimproved Te Kaitora Rua continues the journey byincorporating many of the newest features of its Dynavector
stable-mates, the XV-1s and XX-2. The Te Kaitora Rua haseven managed to improve on the original Te Kaitora silk-liketreble and openness.

17D3 Karat Diamond is
the first cartridge built
using 'dispersion' theory.
Its Micro-Ridge stylus
and very short (1.7mm)
solid diamond cantilevergive a huge reduction in'frequency dispersion',
unmatched dynamics
and a high frequency
extension all the way up
to 100kHz. The main change to the new 17D3 is an
improvement in the design of the front yoke. This appears, on
the surface, to be a small difference yet contributes to a greatly
improved overall performance justifying a model numberchange.

DV XX-2 MKII

DV 20XH/20XL

Low output with boron cantilever

High/Low output with hard aluminium cantilever

The DV XX-1 was thefirst cartridge to featurea"magnetic
fluxdamper" (patent) andsoftened magnetism"(patent) processes that
reject the magnetic
fluctuationthatisdetrimental totheperformance of moving
coil cartridges. The The
DV XX-2 MKII retains the benefit of the flux damper but
features the Alinco-5 magnet and the similar rigid construction
to the Te Kaitora Rua. The XX-2 MKII's new magnetic circuit
offers a further discernible improvement in sound quality.

DV-20X has a solid
aluminium-alloy bodysimilar to the XX-2. Thecantilever is a 6mmlengthofhardaluminium pipe with aMicro-Ridge stylus. The
magnetic flux damping
andsoftened
magnetism along withpowerful neodymium magnets gives the 20XH a healthy 2.8 mV
output - suitable for most MM inputs. The 20XL has an output of
0.3 mV ideal for most MC phono stages.

DV 10X5

DV DRT XV-1s monoHigh output with aluminium cantilever

Breathes new life into mono recordings

The DV-10X series
debuted in 1978 winningthe prestigious Designand Engineering Awardat the Chicago CES in
1978 and again in 1981.
The 10X5 is the latest
version and incorporatesthemagnetic
flux
damping and softened
magnetism along with powerful neodymium magnets. The
10X5 also features a newly designed aluminium head block toprovide a rigid platform for the cartridge motor and a securemount to the tonearm.

The new Dynavector XV1s mono cartridge has
beendeveloped
toanswerthemany
requests from monorecord lovers worldwide.
The XV-1s mono has notbeen designed as a
typical, old fashioned
mono
cartridge,butdeveloped as a true high fidelity component. It is designed toprovide the highest performance and extract the greatest
musical expression possible from mono records.

DV DRT XV-1s
Innovative design of the magnetic circuit
The XV-1s has a uniquemagnetic circuit. Itcomprises
8smallalnico magnets. The
magnetic path is thendivided into two. In themagneticgap,aspecially
designedmagnetic flux equalizing
piece is the placed. On
the front yokes, magnetic stabilizing coils are wound.
This produces a more linear magnetic field, and therefore
lower output distortion than any existing MC cartridge.
Dynavector's ongoing research program has pushed theMC performance boundary further with the new XV-1s.
The specifications of the new "s" model remain the sameas the XV-1. However a significant upgrade in bothmagnetic and body materials have achieved a startling
improvement in imaging, and a sound "as smooth assilk"over the entire frequency range.

DV-507MKll tonearm
Bi-Axis Inertia controlled, Dynamic Balance TypeThe DV507 is a bi-axis, inertia controlled, tonearm and allows
any type of cartridge to trace the signal groove with extreme
accuracy. The DV507 also provides outstanding tracking forwarped recordings. Resolution and musical detail areremarkable.
The new MKII version of the Dynavector DV507 tonearm has
made its long-awaited debut, building on the strengths of theoriginal DV507 which has enjoyed the highest reputation
