Remarks[edit]
- Other models in the same series:
- Dual CS 12
- Dual CS 40
- Dual CS 70
- Initially, Dual designated the complete turntable consisting of the walnut console Dual CK 22, the cover Dual CH 6, the turntable Dual 701 and the pickup system Ortofon M 20 E as CS 70. A version in white sanded lacquer could be ordered as Dual CS 70 W.
* With small changes such as the console CK 24 (with better hood holder) and the sampling system Shure V15 Type III, the turntable received the designation Dual CS 701 respectively Dual CS 701 W.
- After the Hanover Fair in 1974, the above-mentioned designations were abandoned and the complete turntable was called Dual 701, regardless of the sampling system.
- The built-in automatic chassis was also sold to industrial customers. In 1974 the turntable was offered by Wega in a more noble designed case as "Wega 3431" at a price of 1100.- DM. The cartridge was also the Ortofon M 20 E.
With the EDS 1000 motor, Dual introduced its first direct-drive turntable. The philosophy was to realize a drive system with as little kinetic energy as possible in order to minimize interference on the pickup system.
