OVERVIEW
The Optical Box E Phono is the perfect partner for all modern audiophiles who want to use their analog signal sources with digital or analog playback devices.
Anyone who wants to their record player with devices that have digital inputs only, such as home cinema receivers, soundbars or all-in-one systems, will love this little box. The Optical Box E Phono takes many needs into account and offers a digital – optical signal output plus a standard analog output that will work simultaneously, allowing it to be used as the perfect signal splitter to play the same signal on two systems at the same time.
Another very useful purpose of the Optical Box E Phono is that can act as input expander for a system with shortage in inputs. Optical Box E Phono is also able to digitize not only phono sources, but also line signals from tape decks, tuners etc. To ensure that the incoming signal is as pure as possible, the A/D conversion offers the highest precision with 24bit / 96kHz resolution.
Of course, it can also be used as an ordinary MM phono preamp with line output (3.5mm jack) that integrates in any Hi-Fi system. The internal part of the housing is lined with metal, thereby eliminating RF interference and vibrations, so that an undisturbed listening experience is guaranteed.
Available in Black Finish.
