Dual's direct-drive turntables have been known for their quality and reliability for decades. The CS 618Q's robust direct-drive motor keeps the RPMs perfectly stable, so the record plays without extra noise or vibration.

The advanced twin gimbal precision tonearm works seamlessly with the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge.

The turntable has an automatic stop function that includes an automatic tonearm lift to reduce stylus wear when it reaches the end of the record.
