Phono Box S3 B - a phono preamplifier with a fully balanced circuitry. The use of balanced connection provides reliable protection of the signal from external interference. Such a connection is typically found in high-end Hi-Fi equipment of corresponding cost. Now many music lovers will be able to appreciate all the advantages of balanced audio signal transmission.
Features:
- 5-pin XLR mini balanced input
- balanced XLR outputs
- fully symmetrical and discrete amplification stage
- easy adjustment settings on the front panel
- support for MM and MC cartridges
- Dual-Mono construction
- semi-passive RIAA equalization
- low noise and distortion levels
- aluminum casing protects against interference
The device is equipped with a 5-pin mini XLR balanced input and XLR outputs. To achieve fully balanced connection, the turntable must have corresponding outputs. This requirement is met by the Pro-Ject X8 turntable, which recently went into production.
The Phono Box S3 B phono preamplifier also supports unbalanced connection through RCA input and output jacks. This makes the model compatible with any turntable. The phono preamplifier works with both MM and MC cartridges.
To improve sound quality, the Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B is built with discrete components using a dual-mono design. This ensures minimal distortion levels and a wide stereo image. The control buttons for the phono preamplifier are located on the front panel. This is a first for the S series models and greatly simplifies the device setup. The input impedance and capacitance settings, as well as the gain switching, can be selected. The chosen settings are displayed by miniature LEDs. The phono preamplifier is equipped with a selectable subsonic filter.
The Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B is housed in a steel and aluminum casing. Its compact size allows for placement next to the turntable. The device is available in two finishes - silver and black. The Phono Box S3 B phono preamplifier is manufactured at the Pro-Ject factory in Europe.
