CS 618Q MANUAL HIFI-TURNTABLE

For decades, direct-drive turntables from Dual have been
renowned for their quality and reliability. The rumble free direct-drive in the
CS 618Q keeps the RPM totally stable, while operating without noise or
vibration.

The advanced twin gimbal precision tonearm is partnered with
an Ortofon 2M Blue pickup.

The turntable comes with an auto-stop feature that includes
an automatic tonearm lift to reduce wear and tear on the needle as it moves to
the end of the record.
