Dynavector DV - DRTXV - 1S Moving Coil Low Output Phono Cartridge
The original XV-1 cartridge was designed to take the reproduction of analogue recordings to new heights. The XV-1 achieved a standard of performance that was clearly in a league of its own. Dynavector have always remained unfazed by the endless digital formats that promise to be the next step forward in music reproduction, safe in the knowledge that the vast heritage of music recorded on vinyl can easily match, if not clearly outperform, these new formats. Dynavector are seriously committed to ensuring that vinyl enthusiasts are well catered for and the XV-1s are further evidence of this ongoing commitment; another ground-breaking product, exclusive to Dynavector and the flagship of the brilliant Dynavector cartridge range.
Golden Ear Award 2001 by MC Cartridge
At first glance, the XV-1 was always different from all previous cartridges. Its magnetic circuit includes 8 small ALNICO magnets. The magnetic path is divided into two: in the magnetic gap, a specially designed magnetic flux equalization piece is placed. On the front brackets are wound magnetic stabilization coils. Thanks to this special combination, the magnetic field becomes largely homogeneous and more linear than the conventional magnetic design that is common in existing MC cartridges.
The XV-1 was awarded the "Golden Ear Award 2001" by Absolute Sound magazine for its highly advanced technology.
Dynavector continues to research and has pushed the boundaries even further with the NEW XV-1s. While the specification remains the same, a significant upgrade in both the magnetics and body parts achieves a stunning improvement in imaging, along with silky smooth extension across the entire frequency range.
