Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B Phonostage
Decerning audiophiles often expect balanced outputs, but that's really only half the story. It's possible to put XLR connectors on any device. You need fully discrete symmetrical gain stages to truly take advantage of balanced outputs, and that's exactly what the S3 B offers.
With a larger chassis than other models in the S-series (to help isolate the gain stages), and adjustable impedance, capacitance and gain, controllable from the front panel, the S3 B offers performance and features rarely seen in phonostages at this price point.
Also featured on the front panel is a handy subsonic "rumble" filter is great for anyone experiencing low end hum.
Features
- Fully discrete & symmetrical gain stage
- Balanced (XLR) inputs and outputs
- Cartridge loading options on front panel
- Handmade in EU
- Pro-Ject 5-pin mini XLR input
