KARAT-17D2MKll

Low output with Diamond cantilever

DV-XX-2

Low output with Boron cantilever
17D2 MK2 'Karat Diamond'is the first cartridge built
using 'dispersion' theory.
Its Micro-Ridge stylus andvery short (1.7mm length)
solid diamond cantilevergive a reduction in'dispersion' along withimproved high frequency
extension all the way up
to 100KHz. The 'MK2' incorporates Dynavector's patented magnet
circuit to provide crystal clear mid-range and treble even during
the largest symphonic crescendos.

The XX-1 was the firstcartridge to feature the"magnetic flux damper"(patent) and softened
magnetism" (patent)
processes that reject themagnetic fluctuation thatis detrimental to a MC
cartridges performance.
The XX-2 retains the benefit of the flux damper but features theAlnico magnets. These have many magnetic advantages andoffer a discernible improvement in sound quality.

DV-10X4 MKll

High output with Aluminium cantilever
Since its debut in 1978,
10X cartridge has been
widely accepted as thebest high output MCcartridge at its price point
and well beyond. Output
is 2.5mV and loading 47K
ohms, which means it will
work well into mostphono stages designed for MM cartridges. Now the 10X4MK2
is further improved with a redesigned magnet circuit giving
greater dynamic performance and musicality.

DV PHA-100

Current maximizing Phono Head Amplifier
By using current amplification,
magnetic distortion of MC cartridge
can be reduced considerably. Youcan easily recognize its soundquality is different from that of any
other head amplifier or step-up
transformer.
Suitable cartridge impedance:
4-7 ohms / 30-40 ohms
S/N ratio: more than 62dB(frat)Size:120W x 176D x 45H mm
Weight: 900grms

DV DRT XV-1

Innovative Design of Magnetic Circuit

The XV-1 has a unique magneticcircuit. This comprises 8
small ALNICO magnets.
The magnetic path is thendivided into two - In themagnetic gap, a speciallydesigned magnetic flux
equalizing piece is placed.
Then on the front yokes,magnetic stabilizing coils arewound. This produces a more linear magnetic field than inexisting MC cartridges.

The result? - Deeper, more accurate bass, brighter, but smoothertreble and better separation. Thus it handles effortlessly thesmooth string note and heavy dynamics of big orchestral works.
After hearing the music produced by the XV-1 even 'high-end'
CD players sound thin, harsh and lacking in any real deep bass.

Te Kaitora

Titanium head with Silver wire and Boron cantilever

The Maori name gives away
the fact that Te Kaitora is acollaboration between
Dynavector New Zealandand Dynavector Japan. Theyencouraged Dynavector
Japan to design a no holds
b a r r e d c a r t r i d g e a n d Te
Kaitora is the result. A titanium
headblock is used for lightness
and rigid construction. The Te Kaitora has a 6mm solid boron
cantilever fitted with a Pathfinder line contact stylus. The coils
are wound out of very fine silver. A compliance of 10 CU andweight of 8.8 grams make it compatible with arms from Well
Tempered, Linn, Naim, SME and others.

Dynavector Moving Coil
Cartridges'At the Cutting Edge'

Since Dynavector's MC cartridges first appeared almost

20 years ago, they have enjoyed world-wide acclaim dueto their combination of superb design and advanced

production techniques.

Over the same period the introduction of the Compact
Disc has taken much of market share for music

reproduction. However many audiophiles soon learnt thatthe new digital medium left much to be desired. Recently

the introduction of new multimedia formats and thedispute over formats such as DVD-Audio and SACD haveleft consumers confused and holding CD collections withan uncertain future. This along with the massive clout

wielded by the digital industry has put at risk the heritageof recorded music from the last 100 years.

Dynavector has decided to fight back in order to protect

the vast existing stock of recordings in analogue media,
by producing a cartridge capable of musical reproduction

above, or at least equal to any digital source. The XV-1
cartridge was designed to meet this ambitious brief andhas succeeded in providing the finest analogue
reproduction possible.

The entire range of Dynavector cartridges strive toproduce the best possible reproduction from your records

by incorporating innovative solutions in their design.
