Additional information
The Dual CS 618Q turntable is a direct-drive model designed for vinyl enthusiasts. It offers a blend of performance and convenience features that cater to both audiophiles and casual users. Here are some key aspects of the Dual CS 618Q:
Direct Drive Motor: The turntable uses a quartz-stabilized, precision direct-drive motor that ensures stable RPM and low vibration, contributing to a clean and accurate playback.
Speeds: It supports three speeds: 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm, allowing you to play a variety of vinyl records.
Tonearm: Equipped with a twin gimbal tonearm design, it uses a statically balanced aluminum tonearm with pivot ball bearings for optimal precision.
Platter: The 12-inch aluminum die-cast platter with a rubber mat helps in resonance damping, providing a stable surface for the records.
Auto-Stop Feature: The CS 618Q has an auto-stop function that lifts the tonearm after 30 seconds of inactivity once it reaches the end of a record, preventing wear on the needle and record.
Built-in Phono Preamp: The turntable includes a built-in phono preamp that can be switched on or off, allowing it to connect to either a phono or line-level input on your audio system.
Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge: It comes with an Ortofon 2M Blue moving magnet cartridge, known for its high sonic accuracy and natural sound.
Construction: The plinth is made of solid MDF and sits on four elastomer vibration absorber feet, reducing unwanted vibrations.
Dimensions and Weight: The turntable measures 17.13 x 5.71 x 14.45 inches (with dustcover closed) and weighs 15.4 pounds.
Finish Options: Available in black, walnut, and black gloss finishes, the CS 618Q offers a choice of aesthetic options to match different home decor styles.
