Description
Dynavector have remained the worlds leading moving coil manufacturer since 1987. The DV XX-2 MKII is the outstanding result of Dynavectors' continuing research and advanced technology. Although the construction of the XX-2 MKII is both sturdy and rigid it is never the less a precision instrument. Due care and attention during installation and handling will ensure optimum performance and years of listening pleasure.
The DV XX-1 was the rst cartr i d ge to featur e a "magnetic ux damper" (patent) and softened magnetism" (patent) processes that reject the magnetic uctuation that is detrimental to a moving coil cartridges performance.

Improvents
The DV XX-2 MKII retains the benet of the ux damper but features the Alinco-5 magnet and the similar rigid co nstr ucti on to the Te Kaitor a Rua. Alnico mag nets exhibit high magnetic ux density combining with a low coercive therefore magnetic resistance is lower than other magnetic types such as rare earth and ferrite, providing the exceptional stability of the XX-2 MKII output voltage. There is also the additional advantage of low magnetic and electrical resistance contributing to a discernable improvement in sound quality.
The XX-2 MKII also exhibits deep powerful bass, treble is both clear and lively possessing none of the hardness found in many moving coil designs. This can be accredited to not only Dynavector's skilled assembly techniques but also a meticulous attention to design, materials, and engineering expertise.

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. Brush only from back to front to avoid damage to the stylus assembly. If a dark deposit like tan should appear on the stylus tip, always use the soft brush with a minium amount of of high quality stylus cleaning uid. No-alcohol stylus cleaning uid is recommended in a routine maintenance. We do not recommend to use commercial cleaning vibrators.

Connection
Connect the lead wires from the headshell to each pin shown below.
