The Dual CS 450 is a turntable designed for vinyl playback, featuring a belt-driven mechanism that provides stable rotation and minimizes vibrations. It is equipped with a built-in phono preamp, allowing users to connect it directly to a line-level input on their audio system without the need for a separate phono stage. The turntable also typically includes automatic features such as a cueing lever for easy disc placement and an auto-return function at the end of playback. The build quality includes a solid plinth that helps to absorb unwanted resonance, and the detachable dust cover protects the turntable when not in use. The CS 450 often comes with an electro-dynamic cartridge for accurate sound reproduction and has adjustable tracking force settings to accommodate various stylus types. Its design usually combines classic aesthetics with modern functionality, appealing to both vintage fans and new vinyl enthusiasts. Features may include speed settings for 33 1/3 and 45 RPM records, and a selection of color finishes to fit various décors.
