Great Sounding, Highly Flexible Phono Preamp with USB Output
Pro-Ject's A/D Box S2 Phono MM/MC phono preamplifier is a high-performance product that allows you to convert precious vinyl records or analog tapes to a computer for playback and archiving.
The digital copy you create with the A/D Box S2 Phono acts as an indestructible back-up and archive of valuable and beloved audio collections and extends the life of rare records and tapes. Storing music as digital files also offers the possibility of removing clicks and eliminating noise from old and worn recordings. The resulting music files from your computer can be burned onto a CD and also can be used in cars and with mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.
Excellent as Your Everyday Phono Preamp
Featuring phono stage technology by Dr. Sykora, the A/D Box S2 Phono offers incredible micro-details, dynamics, and precision, along with a soundstage that's usually only found in much more expensive products. The new S2 style housing takes maximum advantage of an aluminum/metal sandwich construction that not only offers highest aesthetics but also thoroughly protects the sensitive circuitry from unwanted electromagnetic interferences and vibrations. This guarantees an undisturbed listening experience without worries.
The panel input selector allows you to select the desired input, Phono or Line. The signal from the selected input is present on the analog output. This feature lets you connect the A/D Box S2 Phono permanently in a hi-fi system and use it as your everyday phono preamplifier. You will love the sound quality and the depth and detail the A/D S2 brings to your favorite vinyl. Then, additionally, you can convert your records to digital data as needed via the USB output.
Recording Level Adjustment Feature
Due to its outstanding audio quality and valuable features, the A/D Box S2 Phono is the perfect partner for recording analog sources. Here's a feature seldom found on phono stages with USB outputs. The A/D Box S2 Phono includes a recording level adjustment. This adjustment is extremely helpful, because signal sources significantly vary in level of their output voltage. And such big differences in voltage level can easily overload the input of an A/D converter and result in distortion.
Additionally, if the A/D Box S2 Phono analog-to-digital converter is not fed with proper level signal from your source component, the sound will lose resolution. This is the reason why the level of the signal on the input must be set carefully and why the recording level adjustment is such an outstanding feature.
Huge Performance in a Compact Box
The sonic quality of the A/D Box S2 Phono is impressive. It makes a big improvement over the built-in phono stage on many amps and receivers and offers a perfect upgrade for most analog hi-fi systems. Carefully selected audiophile-grade internal components make it possible to enjoy your valuable vinyl collection like never before!
Handmade in Europe, the A/D Box S2 Phono is available in silver or black finish.
