About the Dynavector 10X5 MkII

Favoured by music lovers and audiophiles all over the world, the new Dynavector 10X5 MkII moving coil cartridge presents a new benchmark in moving coil performance and value.

Improvements

The Dynavector 10X5 MkII employs several exclusive Dynavector technologies including Magnetic Flux Damping and Softened Magnetism, and powerful neodymium magnets that provide the smooth treble response that Dynavector cartridges are renowned for.

The Dynavector 10X5 MkII also features an improved stylus assembly with the nude diamond “Shibata III” line contact stylus and improved hardened cantilever material. These improvements ensure secure tracking ability over even the most tortuous of record grooves, whilst achieving extended high frequency response and enhanced musical resolution.

The Dynavector 10X5 MkII features a powerful neodymium magnet and a recently designed aluminium head block to provide a rigid platform for the cartridge motor and secure fixing to the tonearm.

The magnetic flux damping and softened magnetism along with the powerful neodymium magnet gives the Dynavector 10X5L low output variant a robust 0.5 mV output. It is compatible with most moving coil phono stages or step-up transformers.

The Dynavector 10X5H high output variant has a 2.8 mV output, making it compatible with pretty much any moving magnet phono stage.
