PRO-JECT AUDIO SYSTEMS RELEASES TWO NEW POWER BOXES
The new power box power supplies from Pro-Ject Audio Systems are the Pro-Ject Power Box S3 Phono for your turntable and phono preamp, and the Pro-Ject Power Box DS3 Sources for up to five components and a turntable.
PRO-JECT POWER BOX S3 PHONO
The Pro-Ject Power Box S3 Phonois a new all in one flexible power supply for your phono setup. It’s compatible with all Pro-ject’s 18V Phono Boxes and all 15V DC turntables (except RPM5 and higher, X2 and higher, Signature 10/12). It is designed to provide stable and clean power with a low noise power output, has linear voltage regulation, low ESR capacitors and a rigid aluminium casing.
PRO-JECT TURNTABLES
The Pro-Ject Power Box S3 Phono’s two outputs are specifically engineered to power ProJect turntables and phono preamps. The DC filtration can, says Pro-Ject, have a dramatic impact on the sound quality. In addition to the sound improvements, Power Box S3 Phono also offers its users a cleaner cable solution avoiding PSU and cable mess.
