Dynavector DRT XV-1s Moving Coil Cartridge

DRT XV-1s Low Output Moving Coil Phono Cartridge, by Dynavector.

At a glance, the original XV-1 moving coil cartridge was always different from all cartridges that have gone before. Its magnetic circuit comprises 8 small ALNICO magnets. The magnetic path is divided into two - In the magnetic gap, a specially designed magnetic flux equalizing piece is placed.

On the front yokes, magnetic stabilizing coils are wound. By this special combination, the magnetic field becomes widely homogeneous and more linear than the conventional magnetic design that is common in existing MC cartridges.

XV-1s phono cartridge is the latest evolution of Dynavector design, featuring the advanced multi-magnet array to stabilize the magnetic flux density between front yoke and equalizer component, around the air gap.

The XV-1s phono cartridge also features a revolutionary square-shaped front aperture with a matching square shaped armature, which enables the moving coil wound armature to move in an equalized and stable magnetic flux.

Although slightly smaller in dimension the front yoke aperture is also square-shaped, matching the armature along with an identical counterbore to the equalizer component.
