Description

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Dual CS 418 Manual Turntable comes with a basic features set. However, it is still capable of producing the highest quality sound. To ensure that the plinth is rigid, Dual has used folded MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) in their construction instead of plastic.

When this is combined with the vibration absorbing feet, it leads to a very low distortion level. Which in turn means you will be able to hear a more natural and less coloured sound.

CS 418 Tonearm

Construction in aluminium and movement by ball-bearing is how the CS 418 tonearm is put together. This is based on the same top-level standard as other components of the turntable. Thanks to a rigid tonearm design, you get a very accurate tracking.

Thus allowing the cartridge to perform as efficiently as possible. To be able to change the cartridge in the future. The tonearm comes with adjustable tracking force and anti-skating. This feature makes it quite versatile for different types of ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌cartridges.

Fitted Ortofon 2M Red Moving Magnet Cartridge.

The 2M Red has a tipped elliptical diamond stylus and is able to offer a reasonable balance of detail vs. groove preservation. Which is the main reason why it’s one of the best-selling cartridges in its segment.

Three Speed Playback

Three speeds can be electronically selected with the rotary control: 33⅓, 45 and 78 RPM. Inclusion of 78rpm playback. Almost never seen at this price level. Also means availability to play shellacs and very old vinyl records. However, a dedicated 78 stylus (not supplied) is highly recommended if one is willing to avoid damaging the grooves of those old records.

Built In Phono Preamp

CS 418 comes with a switchable MM phono preamplifier option. Which makes it possible to hook it up directly to any line-level input on an amplifier, active speaker, or a soundbar. Those who have external dedicated phonos can switch off the internal ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌preamplifier.
