Product Description

Phono Box Ultra 500 is like no other phono preamplifier in its class. Limited to 500 pieces worldwide, it celebrates the 500,000th Phono Box that Pro-Ject has manufactured and shipped. The polished chrome surface outshines every competitor in this price range and offers undeniable aesthetics.

Underneath the surface, Pro-Ject has used a copper body known to have high qualities in protecting against high frequency interferences. The internal design has also been reworked to offer a fully discrete, OpAmp-less design, which enables Pro-Ject to realize an incredibly harmonious sound. On top of leaving out operational amplifiers, Pro-Ject decided to use polystyrene capacitors that significantly contribute to the high-end sound Phono Box ultra 500 offers. These capacitors are known amongst audiophiles as the holy grail for phono preamplifiers.

FAQ
Does it have Bluetooth?

Ultra 500 is a conventional audiophile phono preamp. No Bluetooth.

Is this a turntable and are external speakers are required?

Yes, this is only a phono preamp. A turntable, amplifier & speakers would be required to make music.

Can I use this as my preamp between my phono and Sonia speakers?

There would also need to be an amplifier. It would look like this: turntable > Ultra 500 > AUX input on amp/receiver > speakers would be connected to the amp's speaker binding posts!

Is the external power supply included?

Yes, the power supply is included!
