DUAL CS 518 Manual Belt Drive Turntable

The DUAL CS 518 is a manual belt drive turntable designed for reliable vinyl playback within traditional stereo hi-fi systems. It follows a mechanically straightforward design, focusing on stable speed control, low mechanical noise and user-controlled operation.

The belt drive system helps isolate the platter from motor vibration, supporting consistent rotational accuracy across all supported speeds. Manual operation allows full control over cueing and playback, appealing to listeners who prefer a hands-on approach to record listening.

Supplied with a factory-installed Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, the CS 518 is ready for use with compatible phono or line-level inputs. It is well suited to entry-level and mid-level hi-fi systems where vinyl playback is a primary source.
