The Pro-Ject Phono Box S was one of their favourite products; it offered unrivalled sonics and versatility at a very affordable price. When the team began developing Phono Box S2, its successor, it needed to deliver the same strengths while improving the sound even further. Phono Box S2 presents incredible micro-details, dynamics, and precision, with a soundstage usually associated with far more expensive products. Features Audiophile Performance Dual mono configuration Audiophile-grade amplification modules Audiophile-grade polypropylene WIMA capacitors Precise RIAA equalisation Switchable Subsonic filter –12dB @ 20Hz Switchable input impedance/capacitance 4 adjustable gain levels Outstanding sound quality The new S2-style housing is built from an aluminium–metal sandwich construction that not only provides excellent aesthetics but also offers outstanding protection from unwanted electromagnetic interference and vibrations. This ensures an undisturbed listening experience without compromise. The switches on the bottom of the unit allow the sound to be fine-tuned to the listener’s preferences and make it easy to adjust Phono Box S2 to any available cartridge. As Phono Box S was considered the best option among all entry-level phono stages by many acclaimed hi-fi magazines, Phono Box S2 is expected to follow in its predecessor’s footsteps and set new standards at this price point.
