Dual CS 418 - Manual Belt-Drive Turntable

The Dual CS 418 is a manual turntable with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge and a switchable MM phono preamplifier. You position the arm yourself, using the damped lift, while an electronic rotary selector provides three playback speeds.

Its ball-bearing aluminium tonearm offers adjustable tracking force and spring-loaded antiskating. A removable headshell simplifies cartridge changes. The MDF plinth, elastomer feet and rubber platter mat address external vibration and resonance, combining everyday flexibility with a conventional analogue signal path.
