Additional information
The Dual CS 606 turntable is a direct-drive turntable that was produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is known for its ultra-low mass (ULM) arm and cartridge system, which was designed to improve performance when playing warped records. The CS 606 features an electronically governed direct-drive motor system, which was a popular feature in the mid-range turntable market at the time. It supports standard 33.33 and 45 RPM speeds with a pitch control of 10% for precise speed setting.
The turntable weighs approximately 10 kg and has dimensions of 50 × 50 × 40 cm. It includes a Dual ULM 55 E cartridge, which is known for its quality and performance.
The Dual brand has had a complex history, with different companies owning rights to the name in various markets. The CS 606 model was produced by Dual Phono GmbH, which was acquired by Alfred Fehrenbacher and continues to manufacture turntables in the Black Forest region. The brand has also been used by other companies in different regions and markets.
