Along with several exclusive Dynavector technologies that include "magnetic flux damper" (patent), softened magnetism" (patent) and powerful neodymium magnets that provide the smooth treble response Dynavector are renowned for.

The Dynavector 10X5 MKII phono cartridge 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 torturous of record grooves whilst achieving extended high frequency response and enhanced musical resolution.

The 10X5 MKII phono cartridge now 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 DV 10X5 LOW a robust 0.5mV output.

The DV 10X5 LOW phono cartridge will be compatible with most head amplifiers or step-up MC transformers making the DV10X5 LOW a first choice low output MC cartridge.

The Dynavector 10X series is a high output Moving Coil (MC) Cartridge that has been acclaimed worldwide since its release in 1978, amazing the audio industry by unleashing something that was long considered a challenge for MC cartridges.
In both 1978 and 1981, the 10X series was honored the Design and Engineering Award at Chicago CES（Consumer's Electronics Show）and has continued to captivate audiophiles around the world with its distinctive red body.
Since its debut, the 10X series has continuously evolved to deliver a better experience for our users. In 2003, a solid aluminum head block was introduced for increased rigidity providing a better platform to secure with the headshell. In 2018, the 10X5 MkII replaced the traditional elliptical stylus tip with a "Shibata III" line contact stylus improving tracking ability.
Now, in 2025, the 10X series reaches new heights of performance with a newly developed magnetic circuit that incorporates Dynavector's proprietary "Special Magnetic Annealing" technology. The new 10XA model delivers exceptionally smooth and articulate analog playback, offering a listening experience that goes far beyond what is expected from an entry-level cartridge.

The high output model 20X2A-H achieves an output voltage of 2.8mV by using Dynavectors legendary coil winding technology. By winding the coil many times with ultra-fine wire, the cartridge can obtain a high output equivalent to an MM cartridge. Thus allowing the MC cartridge to be connected to PHONO terminal for MM input without the need for a head amplifier or step-up transformer.
The low output model 20X2A-L has a 0.3mV output voltage, using the same PCOCC wires as the higher-end models for the coil. The recommended load impedance of the head amplifier is 30Ω or more, making it compatible with most head amplifiers and MC step-up transformers.

Alnico magnet and Flux Damping

Incorporating Alnico magnets with low magnetic resistance into the magnetic circuit, the XX-2A phono cartridge ensures minimal fluctuation in magnetic force during record playback. Compared to mainstream high-energy rare-earth magnets, such as samarium cobalt and neodymium boron, Alnico magnets contribute to a high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and excellent transient response. Additionally, patented Flux Damping technology stabilises magnetic flux within the air gap, ensuring consistent performance akin to higher-tier models.

High Rigidity Magnetic Circuit

Crafted with stainless bolts securing the front and rear yokes along with the magnets, the XX-2A phono cartridge boasts a high-rigidity magnetic circuit. Skilled artisans meticulously adjust tightening torque during assembly, a process crucial for maintaining sound quality and ensuring optimal performance for each unit.

The SUP-200 has 26dB gain and can be matched with all moving coil cartridges within the 3-35 ohms Impedance range and an output voltage of more than 0.1mV. The use of high permeability core material ensures ultra low distortion and maintains minimum power loss.

Features

• The use of high permeability core material ensures ultra low distortion and maintains minimum power loss.
• Vibration control is achieved by impregnation of the coil. Further insulation is provided between the coil and casing. Large diameter OFC coil windings ensure minimal power loss, high resolution in the critical mid-low frequency area and a smooth high frequency response.
• The transformer is magnetically double shielded by a nu-metal housing then encapsulated in a thick aluminium case that completely separates the left & right channels and ensures complete shielding.
• A high quality carefully selected resistor is used to correctly terminate the secondary output to maintain a steady performance and excellent frequency response regardless of the change in load impedance or connected audio cables.
• Rhodium plated input-output RCA terminals provide excellent reliability and long durability. Rigid construction of the aluminium chassis discourages vibration and culminates in a high performance aesthetically pleasing product.
