An affordable, high-quality turntable
Dual's CS 418 is a sweet introduction to Dual's well-built turntable lineup. It features the solid MDF plinth, heavy die-cast aluminum platter, and stabilizing feet that you'll find on every turntable in the CS line, at a wallet-friendly price point.
This 'table features a factory-mounted Ortofon 2M Red cartridge that's a real gem — the audiophile-quality 2M line is known for balanced performance and sonic accuracy. It plays 33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm records, and a switchable built-in phono preamp lets you connect to a standard line-level RCA input on your receiver, amp, or powered speakers.
About Dual turntables
Dual is a legendary name in consumer electronics. The company started in Germany in 1907, and introduced their signature "dual-motor" for powering gramophones in 1927. The dual-motor was so popular, it just made sense to call the company Dual from then on. They've been through some changes in the century-plus since the company was founded, but they're still headquartered in Germany, and they've continued to build on their reputation as a first-rate turntable manufacturer.
