Dynavector DV 20X2H-L User Manual

Dynavector MC Cartridge 20X2H and 20X2L
Description
For more than 35 years Dynavector have established an enviable reputation for producing affordable high quality moving coil cartridges. Notably high output models that are designed to work with MM inputs negating the necessity for equipment change or the use of setup devices required for low output cartridges. The outstanding performance of the Dynavector high output moving coil cartridges can be attributed to the exclusively Dynavector designed coil winding machine capable of utilizing extremely fine coil wire providing a high output to mass ratio.
DV-20X2 has a solid aluminum alloy body and a rigid magnet construction similar to XX-2MKII. The cantilever is a 6mm length of hard aluminum pipe with a Micro-Ridge stylus. The magnetic flux damping and softened magnetism along with powerful neodymium magnets gives the 20X2H a healthy 2.8 mV output - suitable for most MM inputs. The 20X2L has an output of 0.3 mV ideal for most MC phono stages.
Both high and low versions of their 20X2 are available to ensure the optimum end result. The high output model is well suited to valve preamplifiers or electronics that only offer MM inputs whilst the low output version offers superb performance when combined with dedicated moving coil inputs.
Stylus Replacement and Warranty
In the case of a worn stylus, Dynavector
undertake to provide a replacement at a special discount rate. The same special discount applies to all non warranty claims. Please consult your retailer for details.
The cartridge is warranted for a period of one year from date of purchase against electrical and mechanical defects, provided the instructions have been adhered to and the warranty card has been completed.
The guarantee does not cover stylus wear nor cover damage to the stylus assembly arising from mishandling or abuse. Should a defect occur, the cartridge and its casing together with the guarantee card should be carefully packed and returned to the retailer.
Stylus Cleaning
Keep your records clean. Dust causes record wear and sonic distortion. When cleaning the stylus use the soft brush supplied with the cartridge. Always use a minimum amount of high quality stylus cleaning fluid. Brush only from back to front to avoid damage to the stylus assembly. Excessive amounts of alcohol applied to the stylus rubber damping and coil bobbin can have a detrimental effect on the life of the cartridge and in extreme cases cause the stylus to become detached from the cantilever.
Connection
Connect the lead wires from the headshell to each pin shown below.
Fixing to the headshell
Please use the M.2.5 enclosed screws to mount the cartridge.
The overhang should be aligned according to the instruction manual for the tonearm. Azimuth and VTA also should be adjusted correctly.
