DUAL 1225
Auto/Standard Turntable
The lowest-priced Dual has more in common with the most castly Dual than its price might indicate. In fact, even at its relatively modest price, the 1225 shares every one of the features with the top-of-the-line 12298Q. Its ease of operation and choice of operating modes are also identical to the most costly Duals. And its tonearm, capable of flawless tracking at one gram, is compatible with virtually any of today's high-compliance cartridge.
Function and regulation:
Operation in single and multi play mode
Balancing of the tonearm
Setting of the stylus pressure
Anti-skating mechanism
Cue control shock-free
Pitch control and calibration of Pitch control
