DUAL – CS 418
Robust, precise, reliable, with a 5-year guarantee for worry-free music enjoyment.
The model series begins with the CS 418, which integrates high-quality components from the larger models and places the highest value on precision.
With the Ortofon 2M Red pickup and switchable MM phono preamplifier, the CS 418 not only offers an outstanding price-performance ratio, but also a very balanced sound level.
Ease of use is guaranteed with the characteristic features of the CS series. The stepless anti-skating can be easily adjusted using a rotary knob with a clear scale. The electronic adjustment of the three speeds is convenient using a rotary switch, while the appropriate pickup can be easily changed using the headshell.
