XX-2A

Established in 1978, Dynavector has been at the forefront of high-end audio manufacturing, introducing a multitude of high-performance cartridges to the market. Their approach to development is deeply rooted in academic engineering theory, a tradition passed down by their founder.

Since the 1990s, Dynavector have pioneered the development of cutting-edge vibration systems, including ultra-fine wire high-output coils and gemstone cantilevers. Central to their focus has been the refinement of magnetic circuits. As a result, Flux Damper to stabilise magnetic flux and Softened Magnetism to reduce magnetic flux fluctuations were developed and installed into Dynavector cartridges.

In 2024, they achieved a significant breakthrough by enhancing the physical properties of the magnetic circuits, resulting in unparalleled sound quality... magnetic annealing.

While an exceptional vibration system is essential for a high-performance MC cartridge, Dynavector emphasise the critical role of the magnetic circuit. The cartridge's output signal is intricately tied to the movement of the vibration system within the magnetic circuit, where electricity is generated as the coil vibrates amidst the magnetic flux.

To ensure optimal output, it is imperative that the magnetic flux maintains high density and stability. Dynavector employ pure iron for their magnetic circuit due to its high magnetic permeability and exceptional stability, resulting in a distortion-free output. However, the processing of metal parts often distorts the crystal structure at the atomic level, leading to a loss of magnetic permeability.

Magnetic annealing, a process of heating and cooling processed parts, is crucial for restoring the distorted metal crystal structure and regenerating magnetic permeability. However, a generic magnetic annealing cannot fully restore distortions in the crystal structure. The magnetic annealing conditions vary depending on the parts material, size, shape, etc. Recent development focused on finding the best magnetic annealing process, including temperature, environment, duration, and heating and cooling rates. This meticulous approach has enabled Dynavector to unleash the full potential of pure iron's unique magnetic performance.

The new magnetic circuit has significantly enhanced sound quality, delivering unrivalled resolution, smooth wide-range expression, and expansive sound field.
