Pro-Ject Amp Box RS2 – Compact Power Amplifier
05.02.2025 07:25
Pro-Ject has introduced a compact stereo power amplifier Pro-Ject Amp Box RS2. A distinctive feature of the new product is the use of a pair of vacuum tubes and the ability to switch the model to a bridged mode.
The Pro-Ject Amp Box RS2 power amplifier is built using a hybrid circuit - the preliminary amplification stage in each channel is implemented on a dual triode 6922 (6DJ8), and the solid-state output stages operate in the traditional class A / B and provide up to 2 x 80 W in each channel when working on a load with an impedance of 8 Ohms and 130 W for a load of 4 Ohms. In bridged mode, the amplifier is capable of developing up to 350 W at a load of 8 Ohms. The all-metal case of the amplifier is important for the distribution and dissipation of excess heat.
The external power supply unit included with the Pro-Ject Amp Box RS2 amplifier allows for an upgrade to the more advanced Pro-Ject Power Box RS2 version with a larger toroidal transformer and a total filter capacity of 40,000 μF.
The Pro-Ject Amp Box RS2 power amplifier is available in black or silver finishes. The recommended retail price is €1,799, and the additional Pro-Ject Power Box RS2 power supply unit will cost an additional €999.
