Built around a multi-Alnico magnet array and Dynavector's proprietary \u003cstrong\u003eFlux Damper\u003c\/strong\u003e technology, the XV Prima retrieves musical information from the groove with extraordinary resolution, dynamic authority, and tonal purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core is a \u003cstrong\u003e6mm solid boron cantilever\u003c\/strong\u003e — one of the stiffest and lightest materials available — topped with a \u003cstrong\u003ePF Line Contact stylus\u003c\/strong\u003e (7 × 30 micron radius). The result is a cartridge that tracks with surgical precision while preserving the harmonic richness and three-dimensional imaging that define the truly great analog playback that Dynavector is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecial Annealing Process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery XV Prima undergoes Dynavector's proprietary\u003cstrong\u003e annealing process\u003c\/strong\u003e, a carefully controlled heat treatment applied to the cartridge's ferrous components and \u003cstrong\u003eeight\u003c\/strong\u003e Alnico magnets during production. \u003cspan\u003eDynavector's process requires fine tuning and adjustments in temperature, atmosphere, duration, and both heating and cooling rates for each component. A technique passed down through the tradition of Japanese swordsmithing and now applied to the pursuit of perfect sound. \u003c\/span\u003eThis process relieves internal stresses within the magnetic structure, stabilizing the magnetic field and optimizing flux density for long-term consistency in performance. The result is a more uniform, precisely calibrated magnetic circuit that contributes directly to the XV Prima's exceptional channel balance, low noise floor, and the effortless sense of ease that characterizes its musical presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSound Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe XV Prima rewards listeners with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional low-level detail retrieval and micro-dynamic nuance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide, stable soundstage with precise imaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural, extended high frequencies — airy without edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaut, articulate bass with genuine weight and control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA midrange that makes voices and acoustic instruments feel present and alive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow output moving coil with multi Alnico magnets and Flux Damper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOutput Voltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.28 mV (at 1 kHz, 5 cm\/sec)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChannel Separation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 dB (at 1 kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChannel Balance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0 dB (at 1 kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 – 20,000 Hz (±1 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompliance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 mm\/N\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTracking Force\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.8 – 2.2 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eImpedance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended Load Impedance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt; 30 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCantilever\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6mm solid boron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStylus Tip\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePF Line Contact, 7 × 30 micron radius\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.6 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynavector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54059586060483,"sku":null,"price":6450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/2388\/0131\/files\/xv_prima_01_1.jpg?v=1785603316","url":"https:\/\/westernhifi.com\/products\/dynavector-xv-prima-moving-coil-phono-cartridge","provider":"Western HiFi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
