Dynavector DV-507 MKII Tonearm

A tone arm is required to operate in two important ways so as to ensure that the cartridge can reproduce faithfully the signal from the record groove.

First, there is the need to support the cartridge so that the transfer of the cantilever motion accurately mirrors the audio signal.

Secondly, it must maintain an excellent tracking ability for warped records since few records are perfectly flat.

These requirements can conflict with each other. However, the bi-axis tonearm provides an effective solution to the problem.

To make the DV 507 MKII compatible with a wide variety of turntables, the overall length and height of the arm have both been reduced compared to the earlier versions. The DV505 and DV501 have enjoyed an excellent reputation in the European audio market since being awarded the Design and Engineering Award at C.E.S. Chicago in 1977,1982 and 1985.

The DV507MKII has important sonic improvements as well as being easier to install and use. It includes all of the technology of our tonearm design developed since the DV505 and 501.
