Moving Magnet/Moving Coil Phono preamp with line output Most of today's amplifiers are built without a specific phono cartridge input. The Phono Box is an ideal phono preamplifier for these hi-fi systems, accepting both MM and MC cartridges. The analogue output of the Phono Box can easily be connected to the line-input of your amplifier. Pro-Ject Phono Box Preamp key Features * audiophile-grade phono preamp * allows you to plug a turntable directly into a stereo system, amplifier, computer, or any other device that takes line level input * gold plated RCA inputs and outputs * high quality metal casing offers shielding from both vibration and electromagnetic interference * new green DC power supply (extremely low idle power usage) * switch for Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges (most cartridges are MM) * low noise, low distortion * flat RIAA equalization curve with 60dB of gain (MC), 40 dB gain (MM) * also available in USB version Pro-Ject Phono Box Preamp Specs * Input Impedence MM: 47k ohms / 120pf * Input Impedence MC: 100 ohms / 120pF * Gain MM: 40dB * Output Voltage MM: 300mV / 1 kHz or 3mV * Gain MC: 60 dB * Output Voltage MC: 200 mV / 1 kHz or 0.3 mV * Noise MM: 86 dB (94 dB - A weighted) * Noise MC: 68 dB (75 dB - A weighted) * THD: MM 0.01% / MC 0.05% * Max.
