PRO-JECT Head Box S3 B: Fully balanced audiophile headphone amplifier with RCA and XLR
The Pro-Ject Head Box S3 B is a high-performance headphone amplifier built for listeners who want to step into true balanced amplification without blowing the budget. Its topology runs a fully balanced signal path and is engineered to strike a convincing balance between available power, ultra-low noise and audible sound quality.
It’s an excellent choice for both desktop and HiFi systems: it supports balanced and single-ended headphones, offers RCA and XLR inputs, and includes an RCA loop output for easy integration into an existing chain.
Key highlights
Fully balanced: better separation, lower noise
The Head Box S3 B handles balanced signal via both RCA and XLR, maximising channel separation and reducing background noise—especially useful with sensitive headphones or in environments with interference.
Outputs for any headphone
Balanced: 4.4 mm Pentaconn and 4-pin XLR
Single-ended: 3.5 mm and 6.3 mm
So you can drive anything from IEMs and portable headphones to demanding high-impedance models.
Solid, long-lasting build
Rigid aluminium chassis for mechanical stability and shielding, made in the EU with long-term reliability in mind.
