Pro-ject PHONO BOX DS3 B MM MC Phono Preamp, black
The Phono Box DS3 B comes in a steel and aluminum chassis providing very high rigidity and splendid isolation from interference. Phono Box DS3 B is available in silver or black. Magnetic wooden side panels are sold separately.
‘B’ for Balanced
In addition to settings for MM (Moving Magnet) cartridges, the Phono Box DS3 B allows you to upgrade to True Balanced operation with a MC (Moving Coil) cartridge on most Pro-Ject turntables. Balanced transmissions consist of a hot and a cold (also called + and -) signal. Both signal chains effectively carry the same musical information. A true balanced gain stage can now extract the final musical information out of the +/- signals and subtract the hum and noise picked up during the transmission. This is the same concept used with every microphone in every professional recording studio worldwide.
Discrete Circuitry
The Phono Box DS3 B uses fully discrete audio circuitry composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices (also called discrete components). Countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be as neutral, natural, dynamic nor vivid as we’d prefer. This discrete circuitry is designed in a full dual mono configuration for optimal channel separation and clarity.

About brand
Pro-Ject
Pro-Ject was founded in 1991, during the onslaught of the compact disc and CD players, with the mission to offer the best analogue experience for reasonable prices. In a time where the digital audio media had been on the rise, and vinyl was declared as outdated and dead, Heinz Lichtenegger kept his belief in the simple but best way to enjoy music – turntables.
