Dynamic Cartridge
We at ZYX have designed many cartridges in our history. However, the Ultimate DYNAMIC design is the first model which incorporates a magnetic circuit that is very different from previous models.
As the coil bobbin is a non-magnetic material, the signal output is only 1/6 of the required level. For this reason, we have to use a bigger magnet and have three times more windings on the coil in order to obtain the correct level of the signal.
The reason for designing the Ultimate DYNAMIC model is that the non-magnetic coil bobbin is similar to that of the cutter head on a record cutting machine.
This cantilever is, of course, a C-1000 carbon cantilever and the non-magnetic bobbin is also made of a rigid and light composite carbon fibre plate.
When listening to the Ultimate DYNAMIC models, you will be lost for words to describe the superb sound quality.
Composite Carbon Terminal Board
This world-first hard terminal board has been employed as the terminal board to lock up output terminal pins and statically holds the unit against any sorts of extraneous vibrations.
And besides this terminal board can be grounded to the phono-stage amplifier through the ground line of right channel output.
You must listen to the purest sound by eliminating capacitance between 4 terminal pins.
World First C-1000 Carbon Cantilever in Moving Coil Cartridge
The ZYX Ultimate series (100, Airy, 4D, OMEGA and DYNAMIC) use a carbon cantilever for the very first time in a moving coil cartridge. The carbon rod is made from 1000 pieces of composite carbon fibre, hence the name C-1000 carbon cantilever.
This composite carbon fibre is more rigid than aluminium, iron and titanium. In addition, its specific gravity is just half that of boron. Therefore we can be sure that the C-1000 carbon cantilever is the ultimate and ideal cantilever material for analogue record playback.
The carbon cantilever gives us the widest frequency range and superior tracking performance. A further major benefit is that the mechanical sound signal picked up at the stylus can travel through to the coil in a straight and direct fashion by way of the 1000 pieces of mechanical carbon lines. This ensures that reflected, repeated or modulated mechanical sound signals are completely absent. The overall result is that you will enjoy the finest, most natural, most dynamic and true to source sound that you have ever experienced.
Cartridge Case For REAL STEREO
Item 11,12 and 13 of the vital design points make very complex demand of the body’s electrical properties. The non-metallic body which has two kinds of hard material is necessary in order to achieve these properties and to prevent external disturbances from influencing the generator system and also it prevents eddy currents in the case from effecting the generator output signal and the resonance occurring on the body surfaces.
Super High-speed reproduction engine
This circuit is specially processed to null magnetic resistance within the magnetic gap and enables high-speed power generation against signals over entire bandwidth straightly without time delay. And besides this circuit can perfectly eliminate any eddy currents remaining at once.
Micro-Ridge Stylus
The stylus used Ultimate series has the edges of the diamond shank set parallel to the sides of the cantilever. Using this type of stylus, the hardest axis of the crystal is aligned to act as the contact point with the record groove. This gives stable and smooth tracing and produces a very refined sound, with the additional benefit of giving the stylus an extended lifetime 2000 hours.
The stylus is of the Micro-ridge type, which was originally developed in Japan and offers the highest performance. The contact radius is always 3μm by the ridge made with 6μm thickness.
