Dynavector DV XX2 MKII MC Cartridge

Dynavector DV XX2 MKII MC Cartridge

The Dynavector DV XX-2 MKII has the capabilities of delivering deep and meaningful bass in conjunction with a treble that is precise and clear, without sounding in any way ‘harsh’ when compared with rival counterpart moving coil designs of a similar price bracket. This is all delivered from 25 years’ worth of cartridge design from a brand that is dedicated to vinyl, and not to just making any ‘run of the mill’ moving coil cartridge.

• Dynavectors' patented Magnetic Flux Dampener Design
• Similar rigid construction to the award-winning Te Kaitora Rua
• 6 mm solid boron cantilever with a Pathfinder Line contact stylus
• Cartridge body machined from the hardest 7075-grade aluminium

Using a flux damper that features the Alnico-5 magnet and similar design construction to the highly praised Te Kaitora Rua, the overall magnetic resistance is lower. On top of this, a more stable output voltage is transmitted from the DV XX-2 MKII because it has a lower resistance than rare earth and ferrite alternatives.

A solid boron cantilever of 6mms features a Pathfinder Line contact stylus, whilst Pure Copper Ohno Continuous Casting Process (PCOCC) copper wire is used exclusively for the coil. With an output of 0.29mV, higher than the XX-2 MKI, and with 6 ohms impedance, the XX-2 MKII is suited to most moving coil phono stages. The body is machined from the hardest aluminium available: 7075. Only weighing 8.9 grams, it is suited to a variety of tonearms.

The advantage of a Boron cantilever is that its density is low, its lightweight, incredibly stiff and 100% inert. The boron cantilever can more precisely trace the information contained in the record grooves than say an aluminium cantilever.
