Dynavector 10x5 Mk2 High Output MC Cartridge

Dynavector 10x5 Mk2 High Output MC Cartridge

First released in 1978 and recipient of the then-famous CES Design and Engineering Award in 1978 & '81, the current Dynavector 10X5 Mk2 represents a new benchmark in high-output moving-coil cartridge performance that does not require a step-up transformer nor moving-coil phonostage.

• High Output for easy set up with an MM phonostage
• No complicated MC loading required
• Dynavectors exclusive Magnetic Flux Dampening Design
• Improved Nude Diamond Shibata 3 Stylus Profile
• Powerful rare-earth neodymium magnets
• Unrivalled coil winding technology with increased coil windings

Along with several exclusive Dynavector technologies that include Magnetic Flux Damping, Softened Magnetism (Patent) and powerful neodymium magnets that provide the smooth treble response for which Dynavector is world-renowned. The 10X5 Mk2 also features an improved stylus-assembly within the nude diamond “Shibata III” line-contact stylus as well as in the improved, hardened cantilever material. These improvements ensure secure tracking ability over even the most torturous of record grooves whilst achieving extended high-frequency response and enhanced musical resolution.

Legendary Dynavector coil-winding technology uses the finest wire and has enabled Dynavector to minutely increase the coil windings to reduce impedance to 150ohms whilst retaining a hearty 2.8mV of output. Mounting the cartridge to the tonearm is achieved by bolting the rigid, aluminium head-block to the headshell via supplied bolts & key.

Mounting the cartridge to the tonearm is achieved by a rigid red aluminium head block that provides a stable platform for the cartridge along with easy and secure fixing to the tonearm.

Who is Dynavector?

Dynavector is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high performance moving coil cartridges and has been at the top of its game for over four decades. Using their patented magnetic flux damping and softened magnetism mechanisms, Dynavector’s range of cartridges are certainly innovative. Hearing a standard moving magnet cartridge and Dynavector’s moving coil cartridges you’ll be blown away by the difference in sound.

From their entry-level, MC 10X5 cartridge to the top of the range DRT XV-1t, Dynavector cartridges can help take your listening experience to the next level. Their high output models are designed to work with MM inputs, perfect for those just starting their upgrade journey in the world of vinyl.

Founded in the mid-1970s by Dr Tominari in Tokyo, Dynavector is committed to delivering the best quality sound from vinyl. As a former physics professor at Tokyo University, Dr Tominari had a lifelong interest in music and his scientific background helped him to design, develop and produce truly innovative products. This has continued to this day and helped Dynavector become synonymous with great-sounding vinyl.
