Pro-Ject Phono Box E BT5

Phono Box E BT5 turns any turntable with a moving magnet cartridge into a modern Bluetooth streamer, following the success of Pro-Ject's VT-E BT. It works as an ordinary MM phono stage connecting to any hi-fi amplifier via its line-level output, or as a Bluetooth 5.0 streamer with aptX and aptX HD support, sending audio to any Bluetooth headphones, speakers, or receiver within a 10m range — using the analogue RCA and Bluetooth outputs simultaneously if you want both at once. Available in Black or White. As an authorized Pro-Ject dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you match this phono preamp to your turntable and system.

Wireless Streaming in aptX HD

Phono Box E BT5 takes the analogue signal from your turntable, converts it, and streams digital audio to any Bluetooth receiver within 10m — headphones, speakers, or any other Bluetooth device. Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX and aptX HD support delivers high-resolution streaming quality, making this the practical choice for vinyl listeners who want the convenience of wireless without giving up sound quality. For guaranteed high-resolution transmission compatibility, Pro-Ject recommends pairing it with the BT Box E HD receiver.
