Product Features and Benefits:
Multi Alnico Magnets: We have incorporated 8 small Alnico magnets to ensure stability in the magnetic flux density between the front yoke and the equaliser component. Experience accurate sound reproduction with impeccable detail.
Magnet Stabilising Coils: Unique to the XV-1s, these coils wound on the front yokes enhance the balance of the sound character, maintaining a steady magnetic field and minimal magnetic shading.
Revolutionary Square-Shaped Design: This innovative feature aids in keeping the moving coil stable, resulting in smooth tonal transitions and precise imaging.
African Ebony Wood: Utilized as the material to stabilize the cartridge's magnets, it imparts an opulent and balanced unique sound character.
Solid Boron Cantilever: The solid boron cantilever and line contact stylus offer the utmost in musical detail extraction from the groove of the vinyl.
Reduced Output Impedance: With an impedance of 6 ohms, the XV-1s cartridge is conveniently compatible with most phonon stages or step-up transformers.
New Stylus Guard: To ensure the longevity of your cartridge, we have designed a new stylus guard that enhances the safe handling and protection of this delicate component.
