Dynavector KARAT 17DX MC Cartridge Made in Japan Genuine product New

Description: Description1.7mm long diamond cantilever low output MC cartridge Since its release in 1981, the Dynavector KARAT series has been highly praised by analog users around the world as an innovative MC cartridge designed through theoretical analysis based on vibration engineering's wave packet dispersion theory. By using an ultra-short diamond cantilever with a length of 1.7 mm, the completely flat frequency response over a wide frequency band provides excellent tracing ability that is faithful to the original sound. For the KARAT 17DX, which is the first upgrade in several years, we focused on changing the material of the main body, and after making and examining several prototypes, we selected the best material while maintaining the superiority of the KARAT series. did. Use the new KARAT 17DX and experience a sound that is more relaxed and brilliant than ever before. ■MC cartridge designed based on wave packet dispersion theory In order to accurately reproduce the musical information engraved on records, it is necessary to not only focus on the frequency characteristics of the MC cartridge, but also to properly design the cantilever as a vibration transmission system. According to the wave packet dispersion theory, the propagation speed of solid vibrations transmitted from the stylus tip to the cantilever varies depending on the sound frequency. This is the main reason why the reproduced sound differs depending on the material of the cantilever, even if the stylus tip is the same. In order to minimize this frequency-dependent difference in propagation speed, the MC cartridge KARAT 17DX uses a diamond cantilever with a high solid-state propagation speed, and has a length of 1.7 mm to make the propagation path as short as possible. We adopted an extremely short cantilever. As a result, the playback frequency band of the 17DX theoretically extends to 100KHz, and the completely flat frequency response over a wide frequency band realizes excellent tracing ability that is faithful to the original sound. For more information, please refer to the audio technology report on the following website. ●Audio technology report: What is wave packet dispersion theory? www.dynavector.co.jp/dv/lecture/dispersion.php The short cantilever, just 1.7mm, has an extremely small effective mass of the pickup section, which consists of the cantilever and stylus tip, making it possible to raise the resonance point that affects high-frequency characteristics. In a typical MC cartridge, the resonance frequency of the pickup is 15 to 20kHz, which causes a peak effect on the high frequency response, but with the 17DX, the resonance frequency is over 50kHz, so the frequency We have achieved completely flat characteristics in the range of 20Hz to 20kHz, which is displayed as a characteristic. Frequency characteristics of MC cartridge KARAT 17DX ■ Adoption of solid brass (Bs) body In the KARAT 17DX, the material of the main body that holds the important magnetic circuit in the MC cartridge has been changed from the conventional molded resin to a solid brass (Bs) body. By adopting a high-strength body, not only is the attachment to the headshell more rigid, but the excellent frequency response and high resolution of the KARAT series are further improved, and the sound is flexible and silky smooth. You can enjoy high-pitched playback sound. ■Unique magnetic circuit design (patented technology) All Dynavector models are equipped with a "flux damper" that eliminates the interference of magnetic flux fluctuations in the air gap that affect the playback sound of MC cartridges, and powerful rare earth magnets such as samarium cobalt magnets and neodymium magnets. It uses a "softened magnet (patented)" that reduces internal resistance. As a result, there is no "harshness" that is common with MC cartridges, and the playback sound is natural and smooth, allowing you to fully enjoy the goodness of analog. KARAT 17DX uses samarium cobalt magnets, which have lower magnetic resistance than conventional neodymium magnets and stabilize the strength of the magnetic field within the air gap.

It is recommended. The 1.7mm long solid diamond cantilever is equipped with a 70 micron square microridge stylus, which has a long stylus life and extremely little characteristic deterioration due to stylus wear. specification Model: Fine structure low output MC cartridge (equipped with flux damper and softening magnet) Output voltage 0.3mV (at 1KHz, 5cm/sec.)
