The Ultimate Compact Hi-Fi System: Pro-Ject Pre Box S3
Imagine a single, sleek metallic box that can handle your vintage turntable, your 4K TV’s cinematic roar, and your high-resolution digital playlists without breaking a sweat.
Pro-Ject Audio Systems has turned this “audiophile dream” into a reality with the launch of the Pro-Ject Pre Box S3. This isn’t just another piece of gear; it is a comprehensive command center designed to declutter your living room while elevating your acoustic experience.
“Austrian audio maker Pro-Ject launches the versatile Pre Box S3—a compact hi-fi system hub combining phono, DAC, HDMI eARC, Bluetooth, and headphone amp in one powerful unit.”
Why This Matters for Audiophiles
This product bridges generations of listening habits from classic vinyl to TV streaming in a single, elegant unit. As a true audiophile preamplifier, it ensures that listeners no longer need a separate DAC, phono amplifier, headphone amp, or additional converters. The Pre Box S3 is a reliable choice for both inexperienced and seasoned listeners who require simplicity without sacrificing quality since it serves as a high-performance all-in-one preamp.
Built to Last, Designed to Blend
Handmade in Europe, the Pre Box S3 features a rugged aluminum chassis that protects sensitive internal dual-mono circuitry from electromagnetic interference. Available in black or silver, its minimalist aesthetic ensures it looks as good on a mahogany desk as it does in a modern media console.
Modern Connectivity Meets Classic Engineering
The standout feature is undoubtedly the HDMI eARC input. This enables users to use their regular TV remote to adjust the volume while connecting their TV straight to their Compact Hi-Fi System. The device functions as an advanced DAC with a phono stage outside the screen, boasting:
- Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD for lossless wireless streaming.
- A powerful headphone amplifier for private listening sessions.
- 13 versatile inputs and outputs to link active speakers or power amps.
Precision Engineering in a Tiny Package
Pro-Ject’s Pre Box S3 sets a new benchmark for integrated audio controllers: practical, flexible, and built for today’s diverse listening habits. Whether you stream music wirelessly, spin vinyl classics, or want richer TV sound through your stereo, this box delivers and then some.
