Made in Europe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to settings for moving magnet cartridges, the Phono Box DS3 B allows you to upgrade to true balanced operation with a moving coil cartridge on most Pro-Ject turntables. This allows the input circuit to subtract hum and noise picked up during the transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phono Box S3 B comes in a steel and aluminum chassis providing very high rigidity and splendid isolation from interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAdvanced Circuitry\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phono Box S3 B uses fully discrete audio circuitry.  New to the S3 line, all settings can be easily adjusted on the faceplate. You can connect two turntables at the same time. Each input setting is stored in the memory. A large gain range from 40 dB up to 65 dB is possible. You can match it with a wide variety of cartridges and seamlessly integrate it into the rest of your system, matching the volume levels accurately to other sources like CD players or streaming devices. The loading options for MM and MC are designed for compatibility with a wide array of cartridges. Ultra-low values like 50 pF or 10 Ohms allow you to account for special situations, for example less-than-ideal higher capacitance cables. The Phono Box S3 B has always got you covered!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eBalanced XLR inputs \u0026amp; outputs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e5-pin mini XLR balanced input\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFully symmetrical \u0026amp; discrete gain stage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFully passive \u0026amp; discrete RIAA equalization\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFully discrete audio circuitry (no op-amps!)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMM \u0026amp; MC capable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eContinuously variable loading\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePrecise MC cartridge matching\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLow noise \u0026amp; low distortion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eTrigger in\/out\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eHeavy aluminum casing protects against interference\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAvailable in silver or black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 10, 50, 100, 1k, 47k Ohms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacitance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 50, 150, 300, 400 pF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGain:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e40, 45, 60, 65 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRIAA Equalization Curve Accuracy (20 Hz-20 kHz):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u0026lt;\u003c\/span\u003e 0.3 dB \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1 x 5-pin mini XLR, 1 x pair RCA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1 x pair RCA, 1 x pair XLR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e18 V\/500 mA DC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 170\u003c\/span\u003e mA DC, \u0026lt; 0.5 W standby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (WHD):\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.1\" x 2.1\" x 6\" (206 x 55 x 153 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight, without PSU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 lb.
