Development history of the XV-1s: The origins of the This award-winning pickup set new standards in analog music reproduction and was characterized by its unique design. The XV-1s magnetic circuit consists of 8 small ALNICO magnets and is divided into two parts. There is a specially designed magnetic flux equalizer in the magnetic gap, and magnetic stabilization coils are wound on the front yokes. This unique combination provides a homogeneous and linear magnetic field that is far superior to the traditional magnetic designs of conventional MC pickups.

Key Improvements to the XV-1s: The XV-1s continues Dynavector's tradition of technical innovation. The latest evolution of this pickup features an advanced multi-magnet design that stabilizes the magnetic flux density between the front yoke and the balancing element around the air gap. This results in even more homogeneous sound quality and an impressive soundstage.

Another outstanding feature of the XV-1s is the revolutionary square front opening, which perfectly matches the square fitting. This enables smooth and stable movement of the coil winding in an optimal magnetic field. Even the front opening of the front yoke is square shaped to match the fitting, along with a square balancing component.

Fine African ebony is used to stabilize the magnets, which contributes to the balanced sound characteristics.

Other features:

• Using 6mm long, 0.3mm thick solid boron.
• 30 micron PCOCC wiring coil.
• 6 ohm impedance, suitable for most phono stages or step-up transformers.

The Dynavector With its innovative technology and pursuit of perfection, the XV-1s remains unique in its class and a true flagship component in Dynavector's impressive product range. Immerse yourself in the world of music playback in the highest quality and relive your vinyl collection with the XV-1s MC Cartridge.
