From Black Forest Precision to Your Living Room

For over 120 years, Dual has represented the pinnacle of German engineering excellence in audio reproduction. Founded in 1907 in the Black Forest region, this storied manufacturer built its reputation creating turntables that defined the golden age of vinyl in the 1970s and 80s. At their peak, Dual automatics graced half of all entry-level stereo systems across America, becoming synonymous with reliable, precision playback.

Today's Dual continues that legacy of sophisticated simplicity, bringing century-old expertise to modern listeners who demand both convenience and quality. The company's return to automatic turntables represents a homecoming to their core strength - making vinyl playback accessible without compromising performance.

"Set Up in Minutes, Play Records Dawn Till Midnight"

The CS 329 represents Dual's mastery of fully automatic design, delivering what SoundStage! Access calls a turntable that "anyone can set up in minutes, play records on from dawn till midnight, and thoroughly enjoy in the process." This isn't just another budget deck - it's sophisticated technology wrapped in entry-level simplicity.

SoundStage! Access praised the engineering excellence: "I was most impressed by the smoothness and silence of the automatic mechanism and the near absence of drag on the motor—there was no significant slowing of the platter while the arm was moving to or from the lead-in groove, unlike automatics of yore. Well done, Dual!"
