"Flawless" User Friendly Phono Preamp with Highly Configurable Input Settings

Pro-Ject's Phono Box DS2 is a highly configurable phono preamplifier for both MM and MC cartridges. The ability to switch easily between input impedance and capacitance setting with front panel controls – and front panel gain settings, too – make it one of the most user friendly phono stages at this price point.

"The Pro-Ject Phono Box DS2 is flawless… We are fans!" raves Alex Röser in Germany's AudioTest magazine.

Very Linear Circuit Design

The Phono Box DS2 boasts a very linear circuit design with low-noise ICs to deliver the best possible sound from a minimalist PCB. The dual mono circuitry offers optimized channel separation, and the precise RIAA equalization lets you hear the music just as the artist intended.

Keeping with the sensible, minimalist design, it features one pair of RCA inputs for your turntable and one pair of RCA outputs which connect to your preamplifier or integrated amplifier. The inputs and outputs are gold plated for superior connectivity.

The casing is made of a durable aluminum metal sandwich construction, which not only effectively protects it against electromagnetic interferences and vibrations, but also pleases the eye with its simply and elegant esthetics.

With its high value sonics and low price, the Phono Box DS2 is a true audiophile bargain!

Product made in Czech Republic.
