Dual CS 329 Automatic Turntable
The Dual CS 329 is an automatic turntable designed for easy, entry-level analog music playback. It offers a hassle-free setup with pre-assembled components and a plug-and-play feature set, making it accessible for beginners. The turntable features fully automatic operation where the tonearm autonomously swivels, lowers, and raises at the touch of a button, though manual operation is also an option. It plays both 33-1/3 rpm LPs and 45 rpm singles. The durable plinth is constructed from MDF and plastic, with an elastomer vibration absorber in the feet for isolation. It includes a precise aluminum die-cast platter with a 2.5mm rubber mat for resonance damping and a removable dust cover to protect against dust. The CS 329 comes with a pre-installed and pre-aligned Audio-Technica AT-91 MM phono cartridge.
