About the DV30C Ultimo

The Dynavector DV30C Ultimo is a high-performance moving coil cartridge designed as a professional version of the DV20 series, optimized for use with SME-type tonearms. It features a low output voltage of 0.18mV at 1kHz, 5cm/sec, with channel separation over 20dB at 1kHz and an extended frequency response from 20Hz to 40kHz. The stylus is a parabolic cut diamond by Dr. Weins mounted on a straight boron cantilever, which contributes to its excellent tracking ability and reduced tracking force of 1.5 grams. The cartridge body is integrated with the shell allowing for +/- 3mm adjustment, and it weighs approximately 18.5 grams. The armature material is polyacetal, and the wiring impedance is low at 30 ohms resistance and 0.1 mH inductance, suitable for low output MC phono stages. The DV30C Ultimo is noted for its superb musicality, flat frequency response, and ability to handle difficult direct cut discs with ease, making it a favored choice among audiophiles seeking detailed and realistic sound reproduction from vinyl records.
