Pro-Ject Phono Box E BT 5

Stream your turntable wirelessly

The Phono Box E BT5 enables wireless Bluetooth 5.2 streaming with aptX Adaptive and aptX HD, featuring a built-in phono preamplifier and an additional line input.

Following the success of the VT-E BT, Pro-Ject developed a phono preamplifier that turns any turntable equipped with a moving magnet (MM) cartridge into a modern Bluetooth streamer.

The Phono Box E BT5 offers two separate inputs: a phono input and a line-level input, as well as two separate outputs. It can be used as a standard MM phono stage, connecting to any hi-fi amplifier via its 3.5 mm jack line-level output, or as a Bluetooth streamer.

It takes the analogue input signal, converts it into digital audio and transmits it to any Bluetooth receiver within a 10 m range. Compatible devices include Bluetooth headphones, speakers and other Bluetooth receivers.

The Phono Box E BT5 is an ideal companion for vinyl enthusiasts who want to enjoy their records with the convenience of wireless streaming and high-definition audio. Bluetooth 5.2, together with aptX Adaptive and aptX HD, supports high-resolution audio transmission.

For the best high-resolution transmission compatibility, Pro-Ject recommends pairing the Phono Box E BT5 with the BT Box E HD.
