Balanced Brilliance
The DS3B goes beyond the conventional with both balanced and traditional unbalanced inputs. It outshines its S3B counterpart by incorporating a 5-pin mini XLR balanced input, providing unparalleled precision. This innovative feature ensures that your turntable extracts the optimum audio quality from your vinyl, delivering two symmetrical signals on the XLR outputs without any unwanted noise.

With thousands of meticulously crafted parts, the DS3B competes at the pinnacle, offering an unmatched listening experience at its price point.
RIAA Equalization Mastery
Pro-Ject brings RIAA equalization to the next level with the DS3B. A passive EQ treats the balanced XLR input with meticulous attention, ensuring a precise and composed response. This attention to detail allows your turntables to shine without being overshadowed by excess noise or degradation of sound.
Effortless Multi-Turntable Setup
The DS3B supports up to two turntables, seamlessly integrating them in perfect harmony. System memory enables you to save and recall settings effortlessly. Focus on the music as the DS3B takes care of the technicalities, offering a top-loading solution for hassle-free operation.
Expanded Sound Spectrum
Experience a wider spectrum of sound with the DS3B, providing an impressive 40dB up to 65dB gain range. This remarkable achievement is made possible by the balanced input, coupled with the Pro-Ject-invented potentiometer. Adjust the impedance while playing back to customize your turntable cartridges' sound to perfection.
Uncompromised Power
The DS3B is powered by an external power supply strategically positioned away from the unit to eliminate electromagnetic interference. Upgrading to a higher-spec power supply enhances an already superb performance, ensuring an unparalleled listening experience.
Elevate your vinyl listening experience with the Pro-Ject Phono Box DS3B - where precision meets performance, and every note is a masterpiece.
