Introducing the Dual CS-618Q Semi-Automatic Turntable

The Devil is in the Detail and the Details are to Die for!

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.

Product Features

  • Auto Stop
  • Auto Tonearm Lift
  • RPM 33, 45 & 78 
  • Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge
  • Semi-Automatic Operation
  • Direct Drive
  • Built-in phono preamp
  • 5 Year Warranty

DIRECT DRIVE

Forget fitting, breaking or replacing platter belts. CS 618Q incorporates a quartz stabilised and rumble-free direct-drive motor for accurate, effortless vinyl play. And with better torque and improved timing, convenience never sounded so damn good. 

RAISING THE BAR...LITERALLY

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.

WORTHY OF YOUR WORSHIP

With a classic rubber matt atop an anodised silver platter spinning over your choice of two gorgeous finishes, CS 618Q is a 70s-style turntable dripping in music tradition. Because the table you play should be worthy of the collection you worship.

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.
