Dual CS-618Q Semi-Automatic Turntable
Introducing the Incomparable CS-618Q Semi-Automatic Turntable

The Devil is in the Detail
Can a serious turntable also be seriously easy to use? Dual thinks it can. That's why they took a twin-gimbal tonearm with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, paired it with a quartz stabilised direct-drive motor, and then threw in a clever auto-stop tonearm lifter. So not only is CS 618Q unmistakably audiophile; it’s also devilishly convenient.

RAISING THE BAR WITH THE STATICALLY BALANCED TONEARM
Straight, statically balanced and constructed of solid aluminium, the CS 618Q tonearm is a remarkable feat of engineering, it literally raises the bar on turntable play with its devilishly clever auto-stop function. So you can whip on a record, unwind with a glass of wine, and completely forget that the music's playing.
No damage done to record or needle; 618Q will lift the tonearm for you and audiophile cartridge upgrades are possible thanks to its solid aluminium construction with precision pivot ball-bearing, anti-skate and counterweight adjustments.
THOSE BEAUTIFUL BABY BLUES
Ortofon’s 2M Blue is an audiophile’s delight, producing incredible tonal balance and a full frequency range. Pre-fit, pre-aligned, and prepared to dig for those finer nuances, 2M Blue harvests the kind of detail required to bring all your favourite records to life.
FUTURE PROOFED
Cartridge manufactures cultivate sound the way winemakers do grapes, making future upgrades a tasty thought. That’s why CS 618Q incorporates precision counterweight and anti-skate adjustments, so you can calibrate for future tastes to suit your favourite vintage.
TWIN GIMBAL. TWICE THE DETAIL
Records explode in vibrant detail thanks to 618Qs twin gimbal tonearm design. Plus, audiophile cartridge upgrades are made possible thanks to its solid aluminium construction with precision pivot ball-bearing, offering you a lifetime of deeper listening experiences.
NO PHONO? NO PROBLEM
Forget buying new components and cables just to play records. No phono? No problems. With an inbuilt phono preamplifier, simply plug in your turntable and play. And thanks to its inbuilt line switch, you can easily bypass the internal preamp when (and if) it's time to upgrade.
DIALLED IN
Effortless and wonderfully tactile, Dual’s speed selection dial makes flipping between your favourite records a dream. Sling singles, start a 78 collection, or line up an evening playlist of LPs. It’s too easy and way too much fun to play record after record after record.
