Product Information
”This Dual is easy to use, has a built-in phono stage and sounds great.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
Quality design throughout
The Dual CS 518 puts quality above features. Rather than plastic, Dual uses folded MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) construction for a rigid plinth. Combined with the vibration absorbing feet, this reduces distortion levels to a minimum, letting you hear a more natural, less coloured sound.
Premium tonearm for superior tracking
With its twin gimbal design, the CS 518’s premium quality tonearm is superbly engineered. Twin gimbals, with pivot ball bearings means that the tonearm tracks as accurately as possible. Accurate tracking means you get a more natural and lifelike sound. For future upgrades in cartridge, the tonearm has adjustable tracking force and anti-skating, making it highly versatile for all cartridge types.
Ortofon 2M Red cartridge included
Matching the quality of the deck and tonearm, the Dual CS 518 is supplied with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. Usually priced at around £100 on its own, this top quality cartridge ensures a high standard of connection with your records. The highly polished, tipped elliptical diamond gives excellent tracking without causing excessive wear to your vinyl.
Connect to any AUX input – with built-in phono pre-amp
Dual makes it easy to connect the CS 518 to your existing system. A built-in phono pre-amp means you don't have to have a hi-fi with a phono pre-amp built-in - any AUX input will work fine.
Three speed playback – including 78rpm
As well as 33/45 speed selection, the Dual CS 518 also has 78rpm speed setting. Simply change the stylus or cartridge head for a 78 compatible stylus and playback your old 78 discs. To make this easier, the tonearm is fitted with a detachable headshell, so it’s simply a case of unscrewing one headshell and screwing on the next.
Maximise the sound from your vinyl, with the Dual CS 518.
