DUAL CS 429 Fully Automatic Turntable with Ortofon Cartridge

Robust, precise, reliable: the perfect features for your record player

The CS 429 is a fully automatic turntable for ultimate convenience. The tonearm moves autonomously at the touch of a button – simply place the record on the turntable and press the start button.

The adjustable tonearm allows the use of different cartridges with individual settings for tracking force and antiskating.

Vibration dampers in the housing decouple the tonearm and platter from external vibrations. Thanks to a precise optical speed control, the CS 429 also impresses in terms of sound. Experience perfect music enjoyment with Dual.
