Pro-Ject

Our take on the Pro-Ject Speed Box S

by Dave Bar

Better watch your speed!

If you own a Pro-Ject turntable, this little box is a must-have. First, it lets you change speeds between 33-1/3 and 45 rpm with just the touch of a button — no need to manually move the belt. But what really impressed us is the way it stabilizes the record platter's rotation speed. Even slight speed fluctuations can detract from the magic of vinyl sound, but with the Speed Box S in place, your records will spin with greater speed accuracy and rock-steady consistency. When we plugged it in to one of our Pro-Ject RM 1.3 turntables, we immediately heard tighter, more defined bass. Vocals sounded fuller, with added "body" and presence, lending a greater sense of sonic realism. Pitch accuracy for instruments with long decay times, such as piano, was spot on. Overall, the music seemed to flow just a little easier from a quieter background.

A simple "no install" installation

The Speed Box S makes an easy and cost-effective upgrade. Simply plug it into your turntable's AC jack, then connect it to power with the supplied transformer. That's all it takes to enjoy enhanced performance and convenience.

Highlights:

  • compatible with turntables that use Pro-Ject's 16 Volt AC power supply, including the Debut III & Debut Carbon (except USB models), xPression III, and RM models
  • provides convenient electronic speed change between 33-1/3 and 45 rpm playback
  • quartz-generated high-precision electronic speed regulation
  • small size allows placement near turntable
  • metal case shields circuitry from vibration and electromagnetic interference
  • LED speed indicators
  • microprocessor control of all functions
  • external power supply reduces chance of noise and interference
  • DC cord connects to Pro-Ject turntable
  • weight: 19.75 ounces (without power supply)
  • 4-1/16"W x 1-7/16"H x 4-1/16"D
  • warranty: 2 years
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

Pro-Ject Speedbox S

Written By Brian, Chicago, IL on Tuesday, April 02, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
The ease and convenience of being able to switch between 33 and 45 rpm by the touch of a button, is worth the price alone. On top of that, I have noticed a slight sound upgrade from my turntable since installing the speedbox S. I also own the Pro-ject Acryl-it platter and in my opinion the speedbox s increased the sound quality more than the platter. So if you're looking to buy either item and looking for the best bang for your buck, I'd say the speedbox s is the better upgrade between the 2.
Pros:
Black, fits the general color theme of my overall system. Small, easy to position on a table filled with other equipment
Cons:
None, does everything it's described to do very well.
