The Phono Box S3 B is a high-quality phono preamplifier designed to enhance your vinyl listening experience. Its balanced and discrete circuitry ensures superior sound quality making it an essential component for audiophiles seeking to elevate their analog audio systems.FeaturesBalanced Connections for True High-Fidelity SoundDiscrete Circuitry for Enhanced Audio DetailSemi-Passive RIAA EqualizationWide Cartridge CompatibilityRobust Elegant Build QualityEnhanced Design and Build QualityHoused in a new larger steel and aluminum chassis the Phono Box S3 B offers increased rigidity and effective isolation from external interference. Available in silver and black finishes it seamlessly integrates into any hi-fi setup.Balanced Connections for Superior SoundThe 'B' in Phono Box S3 B stands for 'Balanced.' It supports balanced connections allowing you to upgrade to true balanced operation with a moving coil (MC) cartridge on most Pro-Ject turntables. Balanced transmissions utilize both hot and cold (positive and negative) signals effectively carrying identical musical information. A true balanced gain stage extracts the final musical details from these signals while minimizing hum and noise a technique commonly used in professional recording studios.Discrete Circuitry for High-Fidelity AudioThe gain stage of the Phono Box S3 B features a fully discrete layout meaning it is composed of individual electronic components rather than integrated circuits. This design choice though more costly and time-consuming results in superior sound quality providing a more authentic and detailed audio reproduction.Semi-Passive RIAA EqualizationAfter processing the balanced signals independently they are combined and sent through a semi-passive RIAA equalization stage. Maintaining a fully symmetrical gain stage optimizes the signal-to-noise ratio and minimizes interference ensuring the equalization section receives an optimal signal for precise audio reproduction.Versatile Compatibility and

Today many amplifiers do not have a specific phono cartridge input. Phono Box MM is an ideal phono preamplifier for these hifi systems. Phono Box MM accepts MM cartridges and offers an audiophile music experience at an entry-level price. Advanced circuitry keeps noise and distortion at a surprisingly low level. The metal case shielding and an outboard DC power supply leave no risk for external interference. Because of its small casing Phono Box MM can be placed near the turntable. Input and output sockets are gold-plated for preservation of quality. Phono Box MM can be connected easily to a line-input (AUX etc) of your amplifier. Pro-Ject Audio Phono Box MM Preamp Features:Good sound from sound technologyMetal case shields the electronics from vibrational and electromagnetic interferenceSpecial low-noise ICs usedOptimal channel separation through dual-mono circuitryGold plated RCA connection socketsDC power supply (< 1 watt standby power)Amplification and RIAA equalisation for MM cartridgesSmall size allows installation close to record playerPro-Ject Audio Phono Box MM Preamp Specifications:Input impedance: 47kohms/120pFGain: 40dBOutput voltage: 500mV/1kHz at 5mV/1kHzNoise floor: 88dB (A weighted)THD: <004%Input: 1 pair RCA/phono socketsLine-level output: 1 pair RCA/phono socketsOutboard power supply: 18V/500mA DC suitable for your country's mains supplyPower consumption:20mA DCDimensions W x H x D: 107 x 30 x 75mmWeight: 280g without power supply
