Introducing the 601.
Dual's First medium-priced single-play turntable (fully automatic, of course.)
With the 601, Dual introduces its second fully automatic single-play turntable. Like the first, the electronic direct-drive 701, it shares several features with Dual's familiar multiple play turntables, and offers a number of innovations as well.
The 601 drive system consists of an 8-pole synchronous motor, developed especially for this new model, and a precision-ground belt running directly from the drive shaft to a flywheel beneath the 12-inch dynamically balanced platter. The motor's absolute speed constancy, its exceptional smoothness, and the isolation of the platter from the motor combine to reduce wow, flutter and rumble to an insignificant level.
The 601's 8.75" tonearm is suspended in the same low-friction double gimbal as the more costly 701. Operation of the tonearm is optionally fully-automatic, manual, or continuous repeat.
Variable pitch-control is provided for both speeds, and an illuminated strobe is built into the chassis. The anti-skating system has separate calibrations for conical, elliptical and CD-4 styli.
The high level of performance and quality for which Dual turntables have been known for years is incorporated in the 601.Thus, music lovers who desire a single-play turntable in the medium-price range, with Dual precision and performance, now have it.
