Serving as the successor for the massively popular Tube Box DS2, the DS3 matches its predecessor with its premium performance, sleek aesthetics, and even incorporates balanced inputs, and outputs, for a True Balanced connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tube Box DS3 B is a sophisticated phono pre-amplifier for MM and MC cartridges, benefiting from a dual-mono electrical layout, valve output stage and balanced connection options. Pro-Jects fully adjustable impedance dial on the front panel allows for fine adjustment with moving coil cartridge systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePro-Jects Tube Box phono stages have been a part of the range for many years and are enduringly popular for their high-end sound performance. The Tube Box DS3 B is the first to add balanced input and output options to the mix as part of Pro-Jects True Balanced Connection concept. The result is an even cleaner and clearer musical performance thanks to the reduced noise and higher gain from using a balanced connection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Tube Box DS3 B still features RCA connection options as well, meaning you can connect two turntables or tonearms at the same time. The input settings for Loading, Gain, Capacitance, and the Subsonic filter  all accessed clearly on the front panel  are stored in the memory as you switch between RCA and XLR input options.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePro-Jects load impedance dial, as featured on its other high-end phono stages, is included on the Tube Box DS3 B. This handy tool allows for very fine, seamless adjustment of the impedance during playback, so you can easily assess the impact of different loading options on your cartridges and style of music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Tube Box DS3 B is made with premium components throughout, all housed in an aluminium casing that protects against interference. It benefits from an external power adapter for reduced noise and electrical interference around the sensitive electronics, but can also be upgraded further with a linear power supply upgrade. As with other DS Line electronics, the Tube Box DS3 B can also be visually upgraded with magnetically attached wooden side panels for a more retro aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eINPUT IMPEDANCE (MM)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47 k\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eINPUT IMPEDANCE (MC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVariable 10 - 1,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePHONO STAGE CAPACITANCE (MM)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50, 150, 300 or 400 pF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePHONO STAGE GAIN (MM)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40, 45, 50 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePHONO STAGE GAIN (MC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50, 60, 65 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePHONO STAGE EQUALIZATION OPTIONS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRIAA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSUBSONIC FILTER\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eat 20Hz with 18dB\/octave\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRIAA ACCURACY (20HZ - 20KHZ)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e± 0.2 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVALVES\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x ECC83\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTHD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt; 0.04 %\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (MM INPUT)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRCA LINE INPUT(S)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Stereo Pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBALANCED XLR INPUT(S)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Stereo Pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBALANCED MINI-XLR INPUT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFIXED ANALOGUE OUTPUT(S)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x RCA Pair, 1 x XLR Pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY RATING\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18V-1000mA DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMAXIMUM POWER CONSUMPTION\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDIMENSIONS (W X H X D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e206 x 91 x 227 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Pro-Ject","offers":[{"title":"Silver","offer_id":52739725459722,"sku":"PROJECT-8692","price":799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":52739725492490,"sku":"PROJECT-8693","price":799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/pro-ject-tube-box-ds3-b-phono-preamp-41817-p.png?v=1773933168","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/pject-tboxds3b","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
