Dynavector DRT XV-1t Cartridge
Instruction manual Description

In 1999 Dynavector released the revolutionary
DRT XV-1 stereo cartridge that pioneered theunique topology that included 8 Alnico magnets,
magnetically stable front yokes, square shaped
front armature within the rather spectacular deep"v" shaped front elevation.
C ombined with Dynavec tor 's patented " Flux
Damping" this cartridge quickly became the worldwide benchmark for music lovers and the audiopress alike.
The subsequent ﬂagship design for Dynavector
the XV-ls released in 2002 reﬁned and improved
the technology. Retaining the patented Flux
Dumping but included the magnetically stable
front yoke with the unique square shaped apertureand improved magnetic equalizing component, allencompassed in an African Ebony body to provide
further stability for the magnetic components.
First inspection of the new DV XV-lt reveals that
although it is unmistakenly Dynavector, the body
beautiful is Urushi lacquered over a precision machined component of heat treated bamboo thathas been assiduously selected for both design,
elegance and acoustic performance.
Dynavector's patented Flux Damping process
has been retained in concert with new groundbreaking innovations that will quickly establish theXV-lt as not only the Dynavector ﬂagship but set
the contemporary standards in analog music reproduction.
Technology abounds within the XV-lt but theDynavector "rai-son d'etre" is making the technology invisible and allowing the music to emerge likenever before.
A silky smoothness is added to the musical reality which the XV cartridges have previously exhibited and as a result each instrument, performer orgroup is clearly imaged with a warm and rich presence. Dynavector believe that this emotive musicalexperience cannot be achieved by a digital source
and with the XV-lt they have created a "SuperAnalog World".

 Principal Improvements for the XV-lt(1) The unique square shaped armature manufactured from a carefully selected material that isboth corrosion resistant and impervious to age deterioration.
(2)16 micron coil windings that only Dynavector
c an manuf ac ture are wound around s quareshaped armature to match the square shaped holein front yoke.
(3)Alnico column magnets to stabilize the magnetic circuits and increase linearity of the magnetic
distribution within the air gap.

Fixing to the headshellStylus Replacement and Warranty

The thread size of the mounting holes of the XV-1t is

Dynavector operate an exchange scheme for the XV-1t

M2.5, so please use the enclosed screws to mount thecartridge. Please note that the mounting holes are 4mm
depth. Screws that are too long will damage the cartridgebody.
The cartridge should be aligned according to the arm
manufacturers instructions. They will normally supply aprotractor for this purpose.

which entails rebuilding the cartridge. The rebuild includes
replacing all moving parts, ie the cantilever and stylus assembly as well as the coils and suspension. This allows
replacement stylus cost to be minimised.

Connection
Connect the lead wires from the headshell to each pin
shown below.
Please note that you should check “ Absolute Phase” toyour systems when you could not obtain a good result.
Because XV-1t is a very sensitive cartridge to “AbsolutePhase”.

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 defects
excluding 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.

SpeciﬁcationsTypeStylus Cleaning
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 minium amount of of high quality stylus cleaning ﬂuid. No-alcohol stylus cleaning ﬂuid isrecommended in a routine maintenance.
We do not recommend to use commercial cleaning vibrators.
