The Dual
1214 auto-manual turntable offers the same precision engineering as our more
expensive models plus ease of operation and many outstanding features, usually
not found in a unit of this price range. The dynamically balanced tubular
tonearm combines low mass with high rigidity. Tracking force is applied by rotating a numerically
calibrated dial to the desired settings. Anti-skating is easily adjustable. The
adjustable silicon damped cueing system, functioning both in manual and
automatic mode, allows the tonearm to be lowered to any groove of the record.
The master switch is operated by means of a feather-light, horizontal sliding
lever, for shock-free operation.
Variable
pitch control allows all three speeds; 33 ⅓, 45 and 78 r.p.m., to be varied over a 6%range,
which is equivalent to about half tone.
The 1214
comes complete with a Dual Ceramic Cartridge. Choice-wood base and hinged
smoked-glass cover are available as optional extras.
Dual's
silicon damped feather-touch cueing system is a truly professional feature. A
flick of your finger releasses the tonearm to float down at the controlled rate
of 3/16" per second. Piston action prevents side-shift of the tonearm. The
cueing device will function both in manual and automatic mode. Cueing height is
easily adjustable for single and multiple-play.
Tracking
force is set with a continuously variable dial and is applied internally by a
long main-spring colled around the pivot. This ensures maintaining of proper
tracking force at all times, whether with one record or a stack of six.
Variable
pitch control is another professional feature for perfect "tuning" to
pitch tolerances of individual records. Also valuable for synchronizing tape
recording and movie sound.
The low
mass, rigid, tubular tonearm has near-frictionless movement in the vertical and
horizontal planes due to hardened steel pivots, each supported by minniaturized
ball bearings.
The
counterbalance weight of the tonearm is easily adjusted for true dynamic
operating balance. The Dual 1214 is supplied with a factory installed Dual
Ceramic Cartridge.
