About the Dual CS529

 A turntable with Bluetooth for listening and control

Dual's versatile CS529 turntable can connect to pretty much any sound system. It's got a switchable built-in phono preamp, plus Bluetooth for a wireless connection to a compatible receiver, powered speaker, or headphones. And it's the first turntable to offer Bluetooth control of its functions with the free CS529 app for Apple and Android devices. If you prefer to get hands-on, you can operate it manually or press the physical start/stop button.

 Solid build quality

A heavy, machined aluminum platter and an MDF plinth give the CS529 a solid, vibration-resistant foundation. A straight aluminum tonearm with a precision pivot ball-bearing and twin-gimbal design provides an exceptionally smooth playback of your favorite records. And a factory-mounted Ortofon 2M Red cartridge makes setup really simple and reads your records' grooves accurately for warm, clear vinyl sound.

 About Dual turntables

Dual is a legendary name in consumer electronics. The company started in Germany in 1907 and introduced their signature "dual-motor" for powering gramophones in 1927. The dual-motor was so popular, it just made sense to call the company Dual from then on. They've been through some changes in the century-plus since the company was founded, but they're still headquartered in Germany, and they've continued to build on their reputation as a first-rate turntable manufacturer.
