Product Summary
The Dynavector XX-2A is a high-performance low-output moving coil cartridge combining a highly refined vibration system with Dynavector's specially annealed magnetic circuit. Developed to deliver excellent resolution, wide dynamics and a spacious, natural presentation, it builds on the acclaimed XX-2 design with significant improvements to the magnetic assembly.
An Alnico magnet works alongside Dynavector's patented Flux Damper technology to stabilise magnetic flux during playback, while the rigid magnetic structure is carefully assembled and individually adjusted. A 6mm solid boron cantilever and PF line-contact stylus provide low moving mass and highly accurate groove tracing.
With an output of 0.28mV and a recommended load impedance above 30 ohms, the XX-2A is designed for use with a quality moving coil phono stage or suitable step-up transformer. Its 8.9g body weight and moderate compliance make it compatible with a wide range of quality tonearms.
