Ask Us About This ProductThe new magnetic circuit has significantly enhanced sound quality, delivering unrivalled resolution, smooth wide-range expression, and expansive sound field. Experience the natural and dynamic sound of the Dynavector XX-2A phono cartridge, where an exceptional vibration system harmonises seamlessly with an optimised magnetic circuit.
Alnico magnet and Flux Damping
Incorporating Alnico magnets with low magnetic resistance into the magnetic circuit, the XX-2A phono cartridge ensures minimal fluctuation in magnetic force during record playback. Compared to mainstream high-energy rare-earth magnets, such as samarium cobalt and neodymium boron, Alnico magnets contribute to a high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and excellent transient response. Additionally, patented Flux Damping technology stabilises magnetic flux within the air gap, ensuring consistent performance akin to higher-tier models.
Low-Output MC Cartridge
With an output voltage of 0.28mV, the XX-2A conforms to the general level for MC cartridges, making it compatible with various amplifiers and transformers including the SUP-200. With a recommended load impedance of more than 30 ohms that ensures suitability for different load settings, including 47k ohms (phono stage input).
High Rigidity Magnetic Circuit
Crafted with stainless bolts securing the front and rear yokes along with the magnets, the XX-2A phono cartridge boasts a high-rigidity magnetic circuit. Skilled artisans meticulously adjust tightening torque during assembly, a process crucial for maintaining sound quality and ensuring optimal performance for each unit.
Compliance
Featuring a compliance of 10mm/N and weighing 8.9g, the XX-2A phono cartridge is compatible with a wide range of tonearms, from light to medium mass. We recommend the use of a light weight headshell to optimise performance.
Solid Boron Cantilever
The XX-2A phono cartridge is equipped with a 6mm length solid boron cantilever, coupled with a Path Finder (PF) line contact stylus, creating a lightweight and rigid vibration system for enhanced playback accuracy.
