Dialled In
Effortless and stunningly tactile, Dual’s speed selection dial makes flipping between your favourite records a dream. Sling singles, start a 78 collection, or line up a playlist of LPs. It’s too easy and far too much fun.
No phono? No problem.
Forget buying new components and cables just to play records. With an inbuilt phono preamplifier, simply plug in your turntable and play. And with effortless line switching, external preamp upgrades are a breeze.
Belt Drive
It's no coincidence that the world's most celebrated turntable designs are belt-driven. Belt-drive turntables are often more affordable to manufacture, making high-quality sound accessible to a broader audience. The CS 518 is a traditional belt-drive turntable that offers exceptional value and performance.
About Dual Record Players
Driven to Keep You Spinning Since 1907. Under the new ownership of Dr. Josef Zellner, Dual launches an entirely new line of turntables, redeveloped and rebranded for contemporary vinyl enthusiasts.
From storing, cleaning, and procrastinating over our precious collections to Saturday morning discussions about music over coffee at the local record store, owning and playing vinyl records is a labour of passion. It’s this passion that inspires us to continue refining the art of record play, so that what we build inspires an even deeper connection to the music collections we all so deeply love
