Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 MM/MC Phonostage

Setting new standards for entry-level phono stages!

Phono Box S was one of Pro-Ject’s favorite products, it offered unrivaled sonics and versatility at a very affordable price. When Pro-Ject started creating Phono Box S2, its successor, it had to have exactly that but improve on sound even further. Phono Box S2 features incredible microdetail, dynamics, and precision with a soundstage usually found in much more expensive products. The new S2 style housing is made of an aluminum/metal sandwich construction and not only offers the highest aesthetics but also protects from unwanted electromagnetic interference. The switches on the bottom of the unit allow fine-tuning the sound to your preferences and adjusting Phono Box S2 to any available cartridge!

Phono Box S was considered the best option of all entry-level phono stages by many acclaimed hi-fi magazines, Phono Box S2 is sure to follow its predecessor‘s footsteps and will set new standards at this price point!
