Pro-Ject Phono Box DS3B Preamp (Black)

Unlock Audiophile Sound with Superior Precision

The Pro-Ject Phono Box DS3B elevates your vinyl listening experience with advanced features tailored for audiophiles. Designed to offer unparalleled performance, this preamp incorporates both balanced and traditional unbalanced inputs, setting it apart as a standout choice for discerning listeners.

Balanced Precision

Equipped with a 5-pin mini XLR balanced input, the DS3B excels in delivering symmetrical signals, ensuring minimal noise interference. This balanced connection allows turntables to perform at their peak, offering optimal sound quality without degradation.

Discrete Circuitry Design

Unlike typical designs, the DS3B features fully discrete components, crafted meticulously for superior sound reproduction. Its discrete circuitry outperforms conventional Op-Amps, making it an exceptional choice for audiophiles who demand high-fidelity audio.

RIAA Equalization Excellence

Pro-Ject’s passive RIAA equalization treats the balanced input with precision, providing a clear, composed response. This level of detail ensures the turntable’s output shines, free from excess noise, delivering an accurate and engaging listening experience.

Multi-Turntable Capability

The DS3B can accommodate up to two turntables, with system memory to easily recall saved settings. Enjoy a seamless multi-turntable setup that works in harmony, letting you focus solely on the music.

Wide Gain Range for Customization

The DS3B offers an impressive gain range of 40dB to 65dB, powered by the balanced input and Pro-Ject's patented potentiometer. Fine-tune the impedance during playback to adjust your sound to your preference, enhancing the performance of various cartridges.

External Power Supply for Clarity

To ensure minimal electromagnetic interference, the DS3B uses an external power supply. Upgrading to a higher-spec power supply further enhances its already exceptional performance.
