Dual Electronics CS529 Overview

Enjoy your record collection with ease of use and great sound playing on the Dual Electronics CS 529 Three-Speed Turntable in black. Building on the quality established with the fully-automatic Dual CS 429, the CS 529 adds an improved twin-gimbal tonearm and the convenience of Bluetooth functionality.

Offering both quality and comfort, the fully automatic function is straightforward without interfering with audio signal. Connect the CS 529 to a line or phono level stereo RCA input, or send the audio to compatible Bluetooth speakers or headphones. In addition to connecting wirelessly for audio, the CS 529 is the first turntable to offer Bluetooth remote control functionality via smartphone app.

Removable Headshell
With Dual's removable headshell included, changes can be made in less than a minute thanks to the screw mechanism that keeps the headshell together, easily adjustable tracking force, and antiskating. The pickup is correctly mounted and preadjusted on the headshell. Subsequent changes do not require any new adjustments.
Dual Twin Gimbal Tonearm
Due to the pivot points being arranged around the tonearm tube, on both sides in the vertical and the horizontal planes, the tilting momentum is reduced to an absolute minimum. The bearing design is almost free of play and guarantees the lowest friction. It consists of a small ball-bearing cup and a precisely machined tip in the rotating shaft.
Automatic without Compromise
Playback can be started and stopped easily and conveniently at the touch of a button. During playback, the mechanics of the automatic system are decoupled from the tonearm and the platter so they do not interfere with signal quality.

  • Bluetooth audio signal to speakers, headphones, or integrated systems
  • Remote control of functions via app
  • App available for Android and iOS

Dual Electronics CS529 Reviews

Retro Rewind Wireless Magic

By John
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-11-10

Great turntable comparable to the high quality tables from 70s and 80s. Though not quite as refined and elegant, its the closest we can get in the 21st century. Plus it can do magic, like keep replaying record over and over, plus connects to bluetooth speaker or receiver. I recommend JBL Partybox 120.

Damping Fluid Failure

By Mario
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2024-11-30

Great and not cheap turntable. However the damping mechanism is failing in my unit. When it was just brand new all was OK, but days passed, only days, then I noticed that the tonearm started falling faster than in the beginning. No doubt about it now as every day falls faster and faster. Today as the needle touches the vinyl, it slips into the music grooves making a lot of damage to the records. I am astonished and cannot believe this is happening to me. A $1200 turntable getting ready to be useless and obsolete? The money is money and not big deal my freak is that I spent months checking turntable after turntable and finally decided for the wrong one. This hurts.

If you select Phono output, do you have to connect a ground cable to the back of the unit and your receiver?
Asked by: Stephen
Yes, using a ground cable with the Dual Electronics CS 529 Three-Speed Automatic Turntable with Bluetooth (Black) is recommended to avoid a potential grounding loop between the phono output and the phono input on your phono preamplifier or receiver with phono input.

You would need to connect the Dual Electronics CS 529 Three-Speed Automatic Turntable with Bluetooth (Walnut) to an audio interface that is connected to a computer, to be able to be able to digitize and output a file from this turntable.
