Balanced audiophile phono stage
- 5-pin mini XLR balanced input
- balanced XLR outputs
- symmetrical & discrete gain stage
- easy settings adjustment
- MM & MC capable
- Dual mono design
- Aluminium casing
- Made in Europe
The new S3 phono stage.
The symmetrical design is the real standout feature! Connect your turntable with the 5-pin mini XLR cable & profit of the balanced signal path. The gain stage of the new Phono Box S3 B uses a fully discrete layout. A discrete circuit is composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices.
Semi-passive EQ
After treating the balanced +/- signals independently they are added back together and are processed by the
semi-passive RIAA equalization stage. By keeping the gain stage fully symmetrical, we can optimize the signal-to-noise ratios and keep interference to a minimum, giving the EQ section the best source to work its magic on.
| Input impedance | 10, 50, 100, 1k, 47k ohms |
