Dual CS 618Q - Manual Direct-Drive Turntable

The Dual CS 618Q pairs a quartz-stabilised direct drive with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge. Its coreless motor construction and magnetic shielding support the drive system, while a twin-gimbal arm with four pivot ball bearings guides the cartridge.

Playback starts manually, but the arm can lift and the motor stop automatically at the end of the record. These functions are switchable. Adjustable antiskating, a removable headshell and electronic speed selection retain setup flexibility. Phono and line outputs accommodate different amplifier connections.
