{"product_id":"dynavector-xv-prima-phono-cartridge","title":"Dynavector XV Prima Phono Cartridge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe new Dynavector XV Prima features the Special Annealing Process now reaches the XV Series, bringing the full potential of the magnetic circuit to Dynavector’s flagship for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in collaboration with specialists in advanced magnetic materials, the Special Annealing Process addresses a problem that conventional magnetic annealing cannot fully solve. Processing and machining, distort the crystal structure of metal at the atomic level, reducing magnetic permeability. A generic annealing process cannot fully reverse this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDynavector’s process requires fine tuning and adjustments in temperature, atmosphere, duration, and both heating and cooling rates for each component. A technique passed down through the tradition of Japanese swordsmithing and now applied to the pursuit of perfect sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the XV Prima, this discipline goes further than ever before. Not only the yokes and the equaliser, but the eight ALNICO magnets themselves have also be treated with Dynavector’s Special Annealing. This pushes the ALNICOs potential to its limit. No other Dynavector cartridge has been built this way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is pure iron and magnet restored to its full magnetic potential, delivering unrivalled resolution, smooth wide-range expression and an expansive sound field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the new XV Prima, the open body, the 8 ALNICO magnets, the 4-part equalizer, the stable African Ebony and now the Special Annealing magnetic circuit, converges into one instrument of exceptional stability and musical integrity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soundstage is wide and naturally proportioned. Tonality is honest. The balance across the frequency spectrum is something you stop noticing because it simply sounds correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than relying on a single material, the XV Prima combines precision-machined aluminium with carefully selected African ebony used to support the magnetic assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChosen for its high density, uniform internal structure and natural damping characteristics, the ebony contributes to the stable and balanced sound character that defines the XV Prima. After precision machining, each ebony component is individually finished by skilled craftsmen to ensure consistency and long-term stability. The result is a hybrid structure that combines mechanical integrity with a natural and musically coherent presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inverted V-body exposes the magnetic circuit and wiring completely, eliminating the energy retention and resonance that enclosures can introduce. Yet the structure provides a secure, natural grip, inspiring confidence where most nude cartridges demand caution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same refusal to compromise extends to the magnetic circuit itself. In a conventional MC cartridge, magnetic flux travels through a yoke to reach the generating coil. Every millimetre of that journey introduces loss and distortion. The XV shortens the journey to its absolute minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight ALNICO magnets make this possible. Four form the main circuit through the V-shaped front yoke. Four more sit directly adjacent to the armature, one for each coil, delivering flux via the shortest possible path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALNICO was chosen deliberately. Where rare earth magnets generate a powerful but harder field, ALNICO produces one of exceptional smoothness and linearity. The result is naturalness of tone, delicacy in the upper frequencies and a musical coherence that high-energy magnets rarely achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003elow output moving coil cartridge\u003cbr\u003ewith multi Alnico magnets and the Flux damper\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e0.28 mV (at 1KHz, 5cm\/sec.)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Separation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e30 dB (at 1KHz)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel balance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1.0 dB (at 1KHz)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e20 – 20,000 Hz（±1dB）\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e10 mm\/N\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracking force\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1.8 – 2.2 g\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e6 ohms\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended load impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u0026gt; 30 ohms\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e6mm length solid boron\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylus tip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003ePF Line contact shape,\u003cbr\u003estylus radius: 7 x 30 micron\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e12.6 g\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynavector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45636340646129,"sku":"","price":6300.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/5024\/files\/Dynavector-XV-Prima-noteworthyaudio-1000x.jpg?v=1782375539","url":"https:\/\/www.noteworthyaudio.com\/products\/dynavector-xv-prima-phono-cartridge","provider":"Noteworthy Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
