Description
The Phono Box S2 Ultra is a high-quality phono preamplifier designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional sound reproduction from their vinyl records. Its advanced design and premium components make it a valuable addition to any high-fidelity audio setup.
Features
•Fully Discrete Circuitry
•High-End Components
•Customizable Cartridge Compatibility (MM/MC)
•Precise RIAA Equalization
•Durable and Interference-Resistant Design
Discrete Design for Superior SoundUnlike many preamplifiers that rely on operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) the Phono Box S2 Ultra employs a fully discrete design. This approach enhances audio performance delivering a cleaner and more detailed sound that brings out the nuances in your vinyl collection.
Premium Components Enhance Audio QualityThe inclusion of audiophile-grade polystyrene capacitors often considered the 'holy grail' for phono preamplifiers significantly contributes to the unit's clear and precise sound reproduction. These components ensure that the audio signal remains pure and uncolored.
Versatile Compatibility with Various CartridgesWith adjustable gain load and capacitance settings the Phono Box S2 Ultra accommodates a wide range of moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. This flexibility allows users to fine-tune the preamp to match their specific cartridge optimizing performance and ensuring the best possible listening experience.
Accurate RIAA EqualizationThe preamplifier features precise split RIAA equalization which accurately reproduces the RIAA curve. This accuracy is crucial for faithful playback of vinyl records as it ensures that the frequency response is true to the original recording.
Robust Construction for Interference ProtectionHoused in a solid metal casing made of aluminum and steel the Phono Box S2 Ultra is well-protected against electromagnetic interference. This robust construction not only enhances durability but also contributes to the overall sound quality by minimizing noise and signal degradation.
Additional FeaturesThe Phono Box S2 Ultra includes a switchable subsonic filter to eliminate low-frequency rumble further enhancing audio clarity. It is available in silver or black finishes allowing it to seamlessly integrate into various audio setups. Handmade in Europe this preamplifier reflects a commitment to quality craftsmanship.
