Preamplifier for MM and MC cartridges with subsonic filter and gain, impedance and capacitance adjustment

The Pro-Ject PHONO BOX S2 phono preamplifier can be described as a "Best Buy" product that sets new standards for entry-level MM/MC phono preamplifiers!The unit features a switchable subsonic filter and the ability to adjust input impedance, capacitance and gain. DIP switches for quick and easy setup are located on the bottom panel of the unit, allowing the preamp to be matched to any available transmission as well as fine-tuned to the listener's personal preferences.

The Phono Box S2 offers unparalleled sound and versatility at a very affordable price. It features incredible micro detail, dynamics and accuracy with a soundstage that is usually only found in much more expensive products.
