Pro-Ject Phono Box E BT 5 Phono Pre-amp

Wireless Bluetooth 5.2 streaming with aptX Adaptive and HD of built-in Phono preamplifier and additional line source

After the big success of our VT-E BT we decided to create a phono preamplifier that turns any turntable (with moving magnet cartridge) into a modern Bluetooth streamer.

Phono Box E BT5 offers two separate inputs, a phono and a line level input, as well as two separate outputs. It can be used as an ordinary MM phono stage that connects to any Hi-Fi amplifier via its line level output (3.5 mm jack) or it can be used as a Bluetooth streamer. It takes the provided analogue input signal, converts it and sends digital audio to any Bluetooth receiver within a 10 m range. Those devices could be either Bluetooth headphones, speakers or any other Bluetooth receiver.

Phono Box E BT5 is the perfect companion for all modern audiophiles who want to enjoy their vinyl hobby with the comfort of wireless streaming and in high-definition! Bluetooth 5.2 together with aptX Adaptive and aptXHD enables high-resolution formats in audiophile quality.

The Phono Box E BT5 is best paired with our BT Box E HD to ensure high-resolution transmission compatibility!
