Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 Ultra

Our classic – now even better

An external phono preamplifier is essential if the existing amplifier does not have a connection for a turntable or if the built-in phono preamplifier does not meet the music lover's quality requirements. It is then connected to a high-level input on the amplifier. Flexible: Each cartridge performs best in its optimal electrical environment. It is therefore advantageous if a phono preamplifier has a variable input impedance.

Flexible: Every pickup performs best in the optimal electrical environment. It is therefore advantageous if a phono preamplifier can be finely adjusted in terms of terminal capacity, terminal resistance, and amplification to meet the requirements of the pickup. The Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 Ultra is a phono preamplifier based on the Pro-Ject Phono Box S2

The Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 Ultra is a phono preamplifier based on the Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 with discrete circuitry in the signal path. Components selected for their sound quality, such as polystyrene capacitors, ensure the finest sound. Components selected for their sound quality, such as polystyrene capacitors, ensure the finest sound. The housing is made of brushed aluminum in silver or black. The device has a wide range of adjustment options for the termination capacitance of MM, moving iron, and high-output MC cartridges, as well as the termination resistance for low-output cartridges.

The device has a wide range of settings for the load capacitance of MM, moving iron, and high-output MC cartridges, as well as the load resistance for low-output MC cartridges. The gain can be adjusted in four steps. The gain setting is not linked to a specific operating mode. The gain setting is not linked to a specific operating mode. All settings can be used for both MM and MC operating modes.
