Ön Panel Kontrolleri

Figure 1: Front panel of the Pro-Ject Phono Box DS3 B.
- Loading Ohms (Variable Potentiometer): Adjusts the input impedance for Moving Coil (MC) cartridges continuously from 10 to 1000 Ohms.
- Giriş Seçici: Toggles between RCA and XLR input connections.
- Ses Altı Filtresi: Activates a filter to remove very low-frequency rumble, improving sound clarity.
- Loading pF: Selects input capacitance for Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges (50, 150, 300, 400 pF).
- dB'yi kazanın: Adjusts the gain level (40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 dB) to match your cartridge output and ampAmplifikatör giriş hassasiyeti.
Arka Panel Bağlantıları

Figure 2: Rear panel connections of the Pro-Ject Phono Box DS3 B.
- Inputs (RCA & 5-pin mini XLR): Connect your turntable's output cables here. The 5-pin mini XLR allows for a true balanced connection from compatible turntables.
- Outputs (RCA & XLR): Bunları şunlara bağlayın: amplifier or receiver's line-level inputs. XLR outputs provide a balanced signal.
- Yer Terminali: Connect your turntable's ground wire here to minimize hum.
- Trigger Input/Output (12V): For remote power control with other compatible Pro-Ject components.
- 18V DC Güç Girişi: Sağlanan güç adaptörünü buraya bağlayın.
Kurmak
Atama
Place the Phono Box DS3 B on a stable, level surface, away from heat sources and other electronic devices that may cause interference. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
Döner Tablanızı Bağlama
- RCA Bağlantısı: Connect the RCA cables from your turntable to the RCA inputs on the Phono Box DS3 B.
- Balanced Connection (5-pin mini XLR): If your turntable supports balanced output, connect a compatible 5-pin mini XLR cable from your turntable to the balanced input on the Phono Box DS3 B.
- Topraklama: Connect the ground wire from your turntable to the ground terminal on the Phono Box DS3 B. This is crucial for minimizing hum and noise.
Bağlantınız Ampcankurtaran
- RCA Çıkışı: Connect RCA cables from the Phono Box DS3 B's RCA outputs to a line-level input (e.g., 'Aux', 'Line In', 'CD') on your amplifier veya alıcı. Do not connect to a 'Phono' input on your ampcankurtaran, as this would result in double pre-amplifikasyon.
- XLR Çıkışı: For a balanced connection, connect XLR cables from the Phono Box DS3 B's XLR outputs to balanced XLR inputs on your amplifier veya alıcı.
Güç Bağlantısı
Connect the supplied 18V DC power adapter to the 'Power 18V' input on the rear panel of the Phono Box DS3 B. Then, plug the power adapter into a suitable mains outlet. Only use the power adapter supplied with the unit.

İşletim
Once all connections are made, you can power on the Phono Box DS3 B. The unit does not have a dedicated power switch; it powers on when connected to the mains. Adjust the settings on the front panel according to your cartridge type and listening preferences.
Giriş Seçimi
Use the 'Input' button to select between the RCA or XLR input, depending on how your turntable is connected.
Adjusting Load Impedance (MC Cartridges)
For Moving Coil (MC) cartridges, use the 'Loading Ohms' potentiometer to continuously adjust the input impedance. Experiment with different settings while listening to find the optimal sound for your specific MC cartridge. This adjustment can significantly impact the tonal balance and dynamics.
Adjusting Capacitance (MM Cartridges)
For Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges, use the 'Loading pF' buttons to select the appropriate input capacitance (50, 150, 300, or 400 pF). Refer to your cartridge manufacturer's recommendations for the ideal capacitance setting.
Kazancın Ayarlanması
Use the 'Gain dB' buttons to select the appropriate gain level (40, 45, 50, 55, 60, or 65 dB). This should be set to match the output voltage of your cartridge and the input sensitivity of your amplifier. Higher gain settings are typically used for low-output MC cartridges.
Ses Altı Filtresini Kullanma
Press the 'Subsonic' button to activate the subsonic filter. This filter helps to remove very low-frequency noise and rumble (e.g., from warped records or turntable motor vibrations) that can cause woofer pumping and muddy bass without affecting the audible frequency range.
Bakım
The Pro-Ject Phono Box DS3 B requires minimal maintenance.
- Temizlik: Cihazın dış yüzeyini temizlemek için yumuşak, kuru bir bez kullanın. Yüzey kaplamasına zarar verebileceğinden sıvı temizleyiciler veya çözücüler kullanmayın.
- Depolamak: Cihazı uzun süre saklayacaksanız, güç kaynağından ayırın ve serin, kuru bir yerde muhafaza edin.
Sorun giderme
Sorunlarla karşılaşırsanız, aşağıdaki sorun giderme kılavuzuna bakın:
| Sorun | Olası Neden | Çözüm |
|---|---|---|
| Ses yok | Incorrect connections, wrong input selected, ampAmplifikatör girişi seçilmedi. | Check all cable connections. Ensure the correct input (RCA/XLR) is selected on the Phono Box DS3 B and the correct input is selected on your ampcankurtaran. |
| Vızıltı veya uğultu sesi | Grounding issue, proximity to other electronics, faulty cables. | Ensure the turntable's ground wire is securely connected to the Phono Box DS3 B. Move the unit away from other electronic devices. Try different cables. |
| Bozuk ses | Incorrect gain setting, incorrect loading (impedance/capacitance). | Adjust the 'Gain dB' setting. Verify 'Loading Ohms' (MC) or 'Loading pF' (MM) settings match your cartridge specifications. |
| Weak or low volume | Yetersiz kazanç ayarı. | Increase the 'Gain dB' setting. |
