Pro-Ject Phono Box phono preamplifier

Description

Pro-Ject Phono Box

Most of today’s amplifiers are built without a specific phono cartridge input. The Phono Box is an ideal phono preamplifier for these hi-fi systems, accepting both MM and MC cartridges. The analogue output of the phono preamplifier can easily be connected to the line-input (sometimes called an auxiliary input) of your amplifier.
