Pro-Ject Pre Box DS2 Analog Stereo Preamplifier

Simple, Elegant, and Highly Audiophile

The Pre Box DS2 Analog Stereo Preamp is a super dynamic high-end sonic jewel offering a huge amount of performance for a tiny price. The heart of the Pre Box DS2 Analog isits pure Class-A output, an absolute high-end solution for getting the very best sound quality.

If space is at a premium or you are simply looking for a compact, affordable, and great sounding stereo preamp, you won't do better than the Pre Box DS2 Analog. And it's the perfect partner for other Pro-Ject Box Series components.

New, Upgraded Circuit Design

A new circuit design and a newly developed relay-controlled volume control are responsible for the extremely low noise floor of Pre Box DS2 analog. The inputs are also switched losslessly via relays. Because the signal paths are devoid of coupling capacitors, the signal is as clean as it gets.

Audio connections consist of 5 x analog line-in inputs (RCA stereo pairs), 1 x line level output, fixed output (RCA stereo pair), 1 x line level output, variable output (RCA stereo pair), and 1 x subwoofer output (RCA mono).

Rock Solid Construction

An effort of this high quality is difficult to find in any other preamplifier in this price range. The solid casing, an aluminum-metal sandwich construction, protects against vibrations and electromagnetic interferences. The result is an unbelievable dynamic and relaxed musical sound.

In combination with Pro-Ject's Amp Box DS2 or two Pro-Ject Amp Box DS2 Mono amps, you will reach new summits of performance without breaking the bank. The 12V trigger function switches other components (power amplifiers, etc.) on and off with the Pre Box DS2 Analog.
