The Primus Maximus is a special, limited edition reference model of which, only 100 units will be handmade to order in Germany.
This flagship model is a showpiece for the best technologies used throughout the history of the Dual company, refining them and carrying them forward into the 21st century.
These key Dual features include:
The twin gimbal tonearm, spring loaded tracking force and direct-drive
The overall result is an understated, high-tech turntable, providing a superb musical experience.
Each unique unit is created individually and the plinth is finished with real wood veneers. The critical components, such as motor, platter and arm are fixed to a 10mm thick aluminium base plate. The heavy top and base plates are connected to minimise vibration.
The heavy platter, weighing 2.7kg, is machined from a solid block of aluminium and refined with a blasted and eloxated surface finish. The platter weight is exactly matched to the motor regulation in order to reduce wow and flutter to an absolute minimum.
The tonearm base and both gimbal elements are machined from solid aluminium. Precision pivot ball-bearings are used in conjunction with hardened steel spikes to ensure tightest tollerances within the tonearm assembly over a long lifetime. The tracking force is independent of gravity and adjusted with a torsion spring.
The drive unit is engineered and made in Germany. Its regulation is specifically designed for high-end audio application, placing emphasis on stability, with no quick start up times nor high torque. These features are only important for DJ applications and not appropriate in such a high quality system.
