Dual 1219

Dual 1219 Fully Automatic Turntable

German precision engineering and analog musicality?

The Dual 1219 was launched as the flagship of the Dual line, setting a new benchmark for what a turntable could achieve. It is a heavy, robust, idler-drive masterpiece, legendary among enthusiasts for its incredible "drive," rhythmic timing, and bulletproof reliability.

• Powerful Idler-Drive: The high-torque motor and heavy idler wheel provide a punch and dynamic bass response that belt-drive turntables often lack. It gives the music a lifelike presence and energy.

• Massive Platter: Featuring a 3.1 kg (7 lbs) dynamically balanced die-cast platter, it offers exceptional speed stability and incredibly low wow and flutter.

• Gimbal Tonearm Design: The four-point gyroscopic gimbal tonearm is a feat of precision, allowing you to use modern, high-compliance cartridges with perfect tracking accuracy.

• Unique Mode Selector: A specialized feature that adjusts the tonearm height for perfect vertical tracking angle (VTA), whether you are playing a single record or using the multi-play spindle.

• Built to Last a Lifetime: Unlike modern plastic decks, the 1219 is built almost entirely of metal. With proper care, this machine is designed to perform for generations.

Technical Specifications:

• Type: Fully Automatic Idler-Drive.

• Speeds: 33, 45, & 78 RPM (Perfect for your 78rpm shellac collection!).

• Pitch Control: Variable speed control for exact calibration.

• Wow and Flutter: Less than ± 0.06%.

• Rumble: Better than 60dB.

Give your vinyl collection the player it deserves. The Dual 1219 delivers a sound that is rich, detailed, and deeply engaging. It is an investment in both style and high-fidelity sound that only grows more beautiful with time.
