Dynavector DV XV-1t Stereo cartridge User Manual

Fixing to the headshell

The thread size of the mounting holes of the XV-1 is

M2.5, so please use the enclosed screws to mount the
cartridge. Please note that the mounting holes are 4mm
depth. Screws that are too long will damage the cartridge
body.
The cartridge should be aligned according to the arm
manufacturers instructions. They will normally supply a
protractor for this purpose.

Connection

Connect the lead wires from the headshell to each pin

shown below. Best performance is obtained if you use the
enclosed lead wires that are 6N copper wire.
Please note that you should check “ Absolute Phase” to
your systems when you could not obtain a good result.
Because XV-1t is a very sensitive cartridge to “Absolute
Phase”.

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 qual-
ity stylus cleaning fluid. No-alcohol stylus cleaning fluid is
recommended in a routine maintenance.
We do not recommend to use commercial cleaning vi-
brators.

Stylus Replacement and Warranty

Dynavector operate an exchange scheme for the XV-1t

which entails rebuilding the cartridge. The rebuild includes

sembly as well as the coils and suspension. This allows

your dealer or national distributor.

The cartridge is guaranteed for a period of one year from
date of purchase against electrical and mechanical defects

If there is any problem please consult your authorised

tive cartridge to your dealer or national distributor, together
