Official product information provided by Dual
The following product descriptions, specifications and images are provided by the manufacturer.
Description
Dual CS 429 combines fully automatic belt-drive convenience with the adjustable setup of a serious Hi-Fi turntable. An Ortofon 2M Red, optical speed regulation and a switchable MM phono stage make it a strong step-up automatic deck.
Why it stands out
Fully automatic with manual option
One-button start and return simplify daily use without removing the option to cue records manually.
Adjustable cartridge setup
Tracking force and antiskating can be set for compatible cartridges instead of being permanently fixed.
Optically regulated belt drive
Motor speed is monitored optically for lower specified wow and flutter than the entry CS 329.
Ortofon 2M Red and phono stage
The installed cartridge and switchable MM preamp support both line and phono-level systems.
Best for
- Listeners wanting automatic convenience without fixed setup
- Family or shared listening rooms
- Systems with AUX or MM PHONO inputs
- Users who may upgrade the cartridge later
Not ideal for
- Bluetooth-only speakers
- Fully manual purists
- Users seeking direct drive
