Pro-Ject Phono Box DC Phono Preamplifier

Affordable Phono Stage for Vinyl Listening Pleasure

These days, the majority of receivers, integrated amps, and preamps that don't have a dedicated phono input. This leaves vinyl lovers out in the cold. Pro-Ject's Phono Box DC puts you back in the warm glow of analog at an extremely affordable price. And it's simple to use. Just plug it into the AUX or other line-level input of your component, and you're ready to go.

Special low-noise ICs keep the background quiet so you can hear more of your music. Precise RIAA equalization ensures true-to-the-recording sound quality. The metal case shields the electronics from vibration and electromagnetic interference. And thanks to its small size, the Phono Box DC fits almost anywhere. It stashes easily right next to your turntable.

For MM or MC Cartridges

A rear panel switch lets you use the Phono Box DC with either an MM moving magnet or MC moving coil phono cartridge. Other features include a low impedance output stage, gold-plated RCA inputs and outputs, and a brand new 'green' DC power supply with less than one-watt of power consumption in standby mode.
