The following listing of moving coil cartridge specifications has been compiled from manufacturers website information.
We have not independently verified this information, so we do not certify its accuracy.

Dynavector
The nominal reference input level at 1kHz for a conventional RIAA phono preamp is 5mV. Output level values below 2.5 millivolts or above 10 millivolts may result in either a poor signal to noise ratio or phono amplifier input overload, respectively, with these types of amplifiers.
