An\u00a0interesting amplifier has appeared in the DS2\u00a0series of components of the\u00a0Austrian company\u00a0Pro-Ject\u00a0– the\u00a0Stereo Box DS2\u00a0integrated amplifier\u00a0.\u00a0While retaining the recognizable design and compact dimensions corresponding to the rest of the series, this device is in many ways unique for devices of this class in the\u00a0Pro-Ject catalog\u00a0.<\/p>\n

\"Pro-Ject<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Pro-Ject Stereo Box DS2\u00a0amplifier is\u00a0housed\u00a0in an aluminum and steel enclosure that is available in\u00a0black<\/i>\u00a0or\u00a0silver<\/i>\u00a0finishes.\u00a0The output power of the\u00a0Pro-Ject Stereo Box DS2\u00a0is 80 W for each channel when operating on a load with a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms and increases to 135 W when working on 4-ohm speakers, which indicates the high quality of its output stages.\u00a0The amplifier is built on the principle of dual mono, which provides good separation of stereo channels.<\/p>\n

\"Pro-Ject<\/p>\n

The pre-amp section of the\u00a0Pro-Ject Stereo Box DS2 is no less interesting – there are not only three line inputs, but also an input\u00a0<\/u>phono stage\u00a0to work with both\u00a0<\/u>pick-up heads with a moving magnet (MM) and a moving coil (MC).\u00a0In addition, the\u00a0Pro-Ject Stereo Box DS2\u00a0provides separate adjustable and non-adjustable outputs, as well as trigger input and output.<\/p>\n

Wireless technologies have not been forgotten\u00a0either\u00a0– the amplifier is equipped with a built-in\u00a0Bluetooth-module\u00a0with support for the\u00a0aptX\u00a0codec\u00a0.\u00a0For maximum stability when using a wireless connection,\u00a0Pro-Ject Stereo Box DS2\u00a0is equipped with an external antenna.<\/p>\n

The volume control in the amplifier is based on a high-end motorized potentiometer, and a separate built-in amplifier is used to connect the headphones.\u00a0And as a very interesting additional function in the\u00a0Pro-Ject Stereo Box DS2,\u00a0we can mention the ability to control the amplifier not only using the traditional remote control, but also through the proprietary\u00a0Box Control mobile application.<\/p>\n
