    Dual CS 618Q: The Return of Precision Direct Drive

    The Dual CS 618Q marks a return to the legendary direct-drive technology that defined the golden age of German audio engineering. Designed for audiophiles who demand absolute speed stability and sonic purity, the CS 618Q combines a silent, powerful motor with modern convenience features, setting a new standard for high-fidelity vinyl playback in its class.

    ⚙️ Quartz-Stabilized Direct Drive Motor

    At the heart of the CS 618Q is a high-end direct-drive motor regulated by a quartz reference clock. Unlike belt-drive systems, this mechanism maintains perfectly stable rotational speed without belts that can stretch or wear over time.

    • Vibration-Free: The coreless inductor design eliminates cogging and vibration, ensuring a completely silent background for your music.

    • Instant Start/Stop: Experience immediate torque and precise speed control for 33, 45, and 78 RPM records.

    💎 Premium Tonearm and Cartridge

    The CS 618Q is ready to deliver audiophile-grade sound straight out of the box.

    • Ortofon 2M Blue: It comes pre-mounted with the acclaimed Ortofon 2M Blue elliptical stylus, renowned for its wide dynamic range, detailed resolution, and flat frequency response.

    • Twin Gimbal Design: The precision aluminum tonearm utilizes a fully adjustable twin gimbal bearing system, ensuring frictionless tracking and optimal contact with the record groove.

    🛑 Smart Convenience: Auto-Stop & Lift

    While prioritizing the purity of a manual deck, the CS 618Q incorporates a highly desirable comfort feature: Automatic Stop and Tonearm Lift.

    • Stylus Protection: At the end of the record, the electronic sensor automatically stops the platter and gently lifts the tonearm. This reduces wear on your expensive stylus and prevents the "end-of-record" noise loop, allowing you to listen with peace of mind.

    🏗️ Solid Construction

    The chassis is crafted from heavy, high-density MDF, finished with a choice of premium veneers or high-gloss lacquer.

    • Elastomer Vibration Absorber: The internal feet incorporate elastomer dampeners to isolate the turntable from external vibrations and speaker feedback.

    • Die-Cast Aluminum Platter: A heavy, die-cast aluminum platter with a heavy rubber mat further dampens resonance, ensuring that you hear only the music.

    With the CS 618Q, Dual proves that you don't have to choose between the precision of direct drive and the soul of analog sound.
