{"product_id":"dual-cs-529-automatic-turntable-with-bluetooth-walnut-ortofon-2m-red-cartridge","title":"Dual CS 529 Automatic Turntable with Bluetooth - Walnut - Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eAutomatic Vinyl Playback with High-End Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe Dual CS 529 combines easy, fully automatic operation with the parts and build quality expected from a serious hi-fi turntable. Place a record on the platter and press Start. The tonearm lifts, moves into place, and lowers onto the record. When the side ends, it returns to its rest and stops the platter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eYou can also operate the CS 529 by hand. An Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, switchable phono preamp, and Bluetooth 5.2 with aptX HD make it easy to use with almost any audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eFully Automatic or Manual—You Choose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eAutomatic operation protects your records and stylus. It gently places the stylus at the start of the record and lifts it when the side ends. This keeps the stylus from playing in the runout groove if you leave the room or fall asleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eYou can also lift and place the tonearm yourself. This makes it easy to start with a certain song or enjoy the hands-on feel of a manual turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eBluetooth Audio and App Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eBluetooth 5.2 with aptX HD lets the CS 529 send record sound to compatible wireless speakers, headphones, or audio systems. For the best possible sound, you can connect it to your system with a standard RCA audio cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eYou can also control the automatic functions through Dual’s compatible app. Use a smartphone or tablet to start and stop playback without touching the turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bluetooth sends sound from the turntable to another device. It does not receive music from your phone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eOrtofon 2M Red Cartridge Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eDual installs and aligns an Ortofon 2M Red moving-magnet cartridge at the factory. The 2M Red is known for its open, lively sound and clear musical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe cartridge is mounted on a removable headshell. This makes future cartridge changes and service easier. Adjustable tracking force and anti-skating let the tonearm work with many other cartridges weighing from 5 to 9 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eBuilt-In Switchable Phono Preamp\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe built-in switchable phono preamp gives you two ways to connect. Select Line to connect directly to powered speakers or a standard AUX input. Select Phono when using an amplifier or receiver with a phono input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe CS 529 uses removable RCA cables. You can replace the included cable if you need a different length or want to upgrade later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003ePrecision Twin-Gimbal Tonearm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe aluminum tonearm uses a twin-gimbal bearing with four pivot ball bearings. This allows the arm to move freely and track the record groove with very little friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eA statically balanced counterweight sets the tracking force. Adjustable anti-skating helps keep the stylus centered in the groove for stable tracking and even record wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eSpeed-Controlled Belt Drive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe belt-drive motor uses optical speed control to keep the platter turning at the correct rate. Rubber motor mounts reduce vibration, while a precision-cut belt helps lower wow and flutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe die-cast aluminum platter includes a heavy rubber mat for added damping. A hardened steel spindle turns inside a brass bushing for smooth, steady playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003ePlays 33⅓, 45, and 78 rpm Records\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe CS 529 plays records at all three common speeds. The included Ortofon 2M Red stylus is made for modern microgroove records. Traditional 78 rpm records require a compatible 78 rpm stylus or cartridge, sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eDesigned to Control Vibration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe solid MDF plinth uses a damped subchassis to help keep outside vibration away from the platter and tonearm. Large elastomer feet add another layer of isolation between the turntable and your furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eAvailable in Black or Walnut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eChoose Black for a clean, modern look or Walnut for the warmth of natural wood grain. Both finishes offer the same features and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWho Is the Dual CS 529 Best For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want automatic start, stop, and tonearm return.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou also want the choice of manual operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou need Bluetooth output for wireless speakers or headphones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want a built-in phono preamp for easy setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want a factory-installed Ortofon cartridge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want to play 33⅓, 45, and 78 rpm records.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin:24px 0 8px;\"\u003eDoes the tonearm return when the record ends?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eYes. The CS 529 lifts the tonearm, returns it to its rest, and stops the platter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin:24px 0 8px;\"\u003eCan I use it as a manual turntable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eYes.
