Dual CS 718Q - Manual Direct-Drive Turntable

The Dual CS 718Q develops the manual range with a carbon–aluminium sandwich tonearm and dynamically balanced, spring-controlled tracking force. Precise arm-height and headshell-azimuth adjustment provide additional scope for cartridge alignment. No cartridge is factory installed.

Its quartz-stabilised direct drive uses ironless coils and double magnetic shielding. A damped aluminium platter and height-adjustable isolation feet support the mechanical design. Automatic lift and switchable stop bring convenience at the end of a record. RCA and XLR sockets connect to a suitable external phono stage; there is no built-in line-level preamplifier.
