Pro-Ject Phono Box E BT5

Stream your turntable wirelessly

Wireless BT5 streaming in aptX 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 hifi 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 5.0 together with aptX and aptX-HD 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!
