Phono Box Range

Pro-Ject Audio Systems are known the world over for their innovative and affordable range of turntables. But in addition to their turntables, they are also highly regarded for their analogue accessories, and none are more famous in that department than their iconic Phono Box series of phono pre-amplifiers. 2012 has seen Pro-Ject shake up their range of phono electronics, so find below a brief description of the full range, to find out what's right for you...

A phono stage is designed primarily to amplify the low output from a pick-up cartridge (i.e. the needle which reads the record groove) to a level which a modern amplify can then use to send a signal to your speakers. Some amplifiers have this facility, but many don't, and the added convenience of a separate accessory is that you can upgrade and find the right model for your system and your ears.

Pro-Ject offer phono stages from £59 upwards. Below is a list of all the latest models Pro-Ject are running, and a short description of what they have to offer...
