    An interesting feature is the ability to smoothly adjust the input resistance level in the range from 10 to 1000 ohms when connecting the MS heads. For pickup heads with a movable magnet (MM), a fixed resistance level of 47 kOhm is set, but for them you can choose from four plug-in capacity options - 50, 150, 300 or 400 picofarads.

    The model can work with both MM heads and movable coil pickups. For better matching with different models, the user can choose from four gain levels (40, 45, 60 and 65 dB), five input resistance values (10, 50 and 100 ohms, 1 and 47 kOhm) and four pluggable capacitances (50, 150, 300 and 400 pcF).

    The Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 Ultra phono corrector is designed to work with MM and MC type cartridges. A special feature of the model is the use of vintage lamps, which are selected manually based on linearity and identical characteristics. They give the sound a special warmth and expressiveness. The device has all the necessary settings to work with different cartridge models. The Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 Ultra is available in a special chrome finish.
