Instruction Manual


Fixing to the headshell
Mounting hole thread size of the XV-1s Mono is M2.5, so
please use the enclosed screws to mount the cartridge.
Please note that the mount ing holes are 4mm depth.
Screws that are too long will damage the car tridge body.
The cartridge should be aligned according to the arm
manufacturers instructions. They will nor mal ly supply a
protractor for this purpose.

Connection
The connection is similar to that of a stereo cartridge.
Connect the lead wires from the headshell to each pin
shown below. Best performance is obtained if you use the
en closed lead wires that are 6N copper wire.
Please note that you should check the "absolute phase"
of all connections, as the XV-1s Mono is very sensitive to
this.

Phono head amplifi er
A stereo head amplifi er or stereo phono preamplifi er may
be used. The bifi lar wound coils of the XV-1s Mono allow
ultimate performance with a stereo phono device, the
same as with a stereo cartridge.
The best performances is assured if you use the
Dynvavector PHA-200 phono head amplifi er.

Stylus Cleaning
Keep your records clean. Dust causes record wear and
sonic distortion. When cleaning the stylus use the soft
brush supplied with the cartridge. Brush only from back
to front to avoid damage to the stylus assembly. If a dark
deposit like tan should appear on the stylus tip, always
use the soft brush with a minimum amount of high quality
stylus cleaning fl uid. No-alcohol stylus cleaning fl uid is
recommended in a routine maintenance.
We do not recommend to use commercial cleaning vi-
brators.
