The Project Phono Box S2 Ultra is like no other phono stage available today. Punching well above its weight for sound quality, it replaces the popular Phono Box DS and DS+ models in the Pro-Ject range, and still manages to boast an array of features for easy pairing with any modern cartridge..
Project Phono Box S2 Ultra
There’s a series of micro switches on the bottom of Project Phono Box S2 for the accurate cartridge matching. Changeable parameters consist of input gain, capacitance and impedance. The manual gives you a guide on how to set these parameters for different Ortofon cartridges.
When you get the sound your particular cartridge is capable of, you will be able to hear a level of resolution and detail which might have been previously hidden.
Subsonic Filter
Due to subsonic noise, some speaker models can be quite next to unusable. The bass cones will be swinging excessively, as they struggle to reproduce below the human hearing range sounds. Used at frequencies below 20Hz, the subsonic filter will keep the woofers safe from damage and the bass portion of the spectrum that is audible to the human ear is less distorted.
Available Colors Black or Silver
Both the available colors black or silver, full metal enclosure provides a very solid structure and superior electrical shielding. It makes sure that the fragile electronic parts inside are safeguarded from mechanical and electrical interference, consequently limiting audio distortion. Furthermore, all phono sockets are coated with gold to ensure a low-resistance and long-lasting connection.
Outstanding Sound Reproduction
The Project Phono Box S2 Ultra delivers a true audiophile sound performance that belies its small form and attractive price. With a sonic signature that delivers the full beauty of a vinyl record, it also remains easy to set up.
Solid Metal Casework
With a series of dip-switches on the bottom of the solid metal casework, there are multiple settings for impedance (MC), capacitance (MM) and gain. So any modern Moving Magnet or Moving Coil cartridge is easy to accommodate.
Project are offering a fully discrete, OpAmp less design, which enabled us to realize an incredibly harmonious sound. On top of this, they decided to use polystyrene capacitors, which significantly contribute to the high-end sound of the Phono Box S2 Ultra.
Split RIAA Equalization
These capacitors are known amongst audiophiles as the holy grail for phono preamplifiers. The Split RIAA equalization enables a pin-point accurate representation of the RIAA curve, a luxury many other phono preamps do not possess.
