               1. A magnetic recording device, comprising: 
            a magnetic head, including 
                a first magnetic pole, 
                  a second magnetic pole, and 
                  a magnetic element provided between the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole, the magnetic element including a first magnetic layer, and a second magnetic layer provided between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic pole; and 
                a magnetic recording medium, 
                the magnetic element including a midpoint between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer in a first direction from the first magnetic pole to the second magnetic pole, 
                a first ratio r1 and a second ratio r2 satisfying 
                −0.26×r1+0.60≤r2≤−0.26×r2+0.70, 
                the first ratio r1 being a ratio of a second distance L2 between the first magnetic pole and the midpoint in the first direction to a first distance L1 between the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole in the first direction, and 
                the second ratio r2 being a ratio of a dynamic coercive force Hc0 of the magnetic recording medium to an average anisotropic magnetic field Hk of the magnetic recording medium.
