    Description

    Dual CS 418: Manual Control for Pure Analog Sound

    The Dual CS 418 is designed for listeners who prefer the tactile control and sonic purity of a fully manual turntable. This model offers exceptional value, combining Dual's reliable German engineering with essential audiophile features, including a precise belt drive and a finely adjustable tonearm. The CS 418 is the ideal entry point for manual operation without sacrificing high-fidelity sound.

    ⚙️ Pure Manual Operation

    The CS 418 emphasizes user control over convenience, making it a favorite among traditional vinyl enthusiasts.

    • Manual Start/Stop: The user is responsible for cueing the tonearm onto and off the record, allowing for precise placement and minimizing wear on the internal mechanism.

    • Belt Drive Stability: A low-vibration DC motor drives the platter via a high-precision belt, effectively isolating the platter from motor noise and ensuring stable rotational speed (33/45/78 RPM).

    🛠️ Advanced Tonearm Control

    Unlike many plug-and-play models, the CS 418 provides critical controls for sonic optimization.

    • Adjustable Tonearm: The straight, statically balanced tonearm is fully adjustable, allowing the user to set the tracking force and anti-skating precisely—crucial for maximizing the performance of the cartridge.

    • Ortofon 2M Red Included: The turntable comes pre-mounted with the high-performance Ortofon 2M Red moving magnet cartridge, ready to deliver a vibrant and detailed sound profile.

    • Detachable Head Shell: The removable headshell allows for easy cartridge swaps and upgrades, providing a clear path for future sonic improvements.

    🔌 Connectivity and Build Quality

    The CS 418 integrates seamlessly into any system while resting on a solid foundation.

    • Switchable Phono Preamp: A quality MM Phono Preamplifier is built-in and can be easily switched ON or OFF. Use the ON setting to connect directly to any LINE/AUX input, or switch it OFF to utilize a high-end external phono stage.

    • Solid Chassis: The plinth is built using high-quality MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), which provides an acoustically dead and stable platform, supported by feet with integrated elastomer vibration dampeners.

    • Platter: Features a die-cast aluminum platter with a heavy rubber mat for excellent resonance absorption.

    The Dual CS 418 provides the mechanical precision and user control of a classic manual turntable, combined with the versatility needed for modern audio systems.
