Instruction Manual
 Despcription
The original Te Kaitora cartridge the result of a
collaboration between Dynavector Japan and Dynavector
New Zealand embarked analogue enthusiasts worldwide
on a voyage of discovery to the outer extremities of vinyl
reproduction.

these heights by incorporating many of the features of its
Dynavector stablemates XV-1s and XX-2 yet retaining its
original silk like treble and openness.

miniature stainless steel bolt coupling the front and rear
yokes to the magnetic circuit assembly.

line contact stylus as used with both Dynavector XV-1s
and XX-2.

square shaped aperture in the front yoke providing much
improved linearity in the magnetic fl ux distribution.
5. Alnico magnets are used for high magnetic fl ux density.
