Dual CS 618Q – Manual High-End Turntable with Direct Drive and Automatic End-of-Record Lift
(available in Black, Walnut and Black High Gloss)
The Dual CS 618Q combines the legendary Dual direct-drive technology with modern convenience features. The high-quality direct drive operates almost silently, maintaining absolute speed stability and ensuring long-term reliability. Designed for demanding listeners, the CS 618Q delivers maximum precision and a first-class vinyl experience.
Equipped with a fully gimbal-mounted precision tonearm and the excellent Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, the CS 618Q offers increased resolution, dynamics and musical detail. The automatic tonearm lift and electronic motor shut-off at the end of the record provide top-level convenience, while maintaining the purity of a manual high-end design.
Continuously adjustable anti-skating, electronic speed selection (33/45/78) and the removable headshell make operation intuitive and flexible.
