The Phono Box DS3 B is a premium phono preamplifier designed to enhance your vinyl listening experience. Its balanced connections and discrete circuitry deliver superior sound quality, making it an essential component for audiophiles seeking to elevate their analog audio systems.

Features

  • Balanced Circuit Design
  • Discrete Component Architecture
  • Passive RIAA Equalization
  • High-Quality Construction
  • Wide Cartridge Compatibility (MM/MC)

Balanced Connections for Superior Sound

The 'B' in Phono Box DS3 B signifies its balanced design, which reduces noise and interference. This feature is particularly beneficial when paired with Moving Coil (MC) cartridges on Pro-Ject turntables, ensuring a cleaner and more accurate audio signal.

Discrete Circuitry for Enhanced Audio Performance

Unlike preamps that use operational amplifiers, the Phono Box DS3 B employs fully discrete components in a dual mono configuration. This design choice results in a more natural and dynamic sound, providing listeners with exceptional clarity and channel separation.

Passive RIAA Equalization

The preamp features a fully passive and discrete RIAA equalization stage. By maintaining a symmetrical gain stage, it optimizes the signal-to-noise ratio, allowing the equalization section to effectively process the audio signal for an authentic vinyl sound.

High-Quality Construction

Housed in a steel and aluminum chassis, the Phono Box DS3 B offers excellent rigidity and protection against interference. Available in silver or black, it can be customized with optional magnetic wooden side panels to match your aesthetic preferences.

Compatibility and Flexibility

The Phono Box DS3 B accommodates both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges, providing flexibility for various turntable setups. Its adjustable settings allow users to fine-tune performance to their specific audio requirements.
