DV DRT XV-1s

Innovative design of the magnetic circuit

The XV-1s has a unique magnetic circuit. It 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. This produces a more linear magnetic field, and therefore lower output distoration than any existing MC cartridge.

Dynavector's ongoing research program has pushed the MC performance boundary further with the new XV-1s. The specifications of the new "s" model remain the same as the XV-1. However, a significant upgrade in both magnetic and body materials have achieved a startling improvement in imaging, and a sound "as smooth as silk" over the entire frequency range.
