Juke Box S2
Audiophile “All-in-one Plug & Play“ turntable system
Perfectionised: Acrylic platter, Pick It 25A Cartridge
Building on the ground breaking Juke Box E, Juke Box S2 is taking the first audiophile all-in-one system to the next level. By changing to a more sophisticated acrylic platter and an upgraded, Pro-Ject proprietary, cartridge we gave the Juke Box the extra bit of audiophilia it deserves. Juke Box S2 effectively saves space by implementing a pre-amplifier and power amplifier in its chassis. With the rated 50 watt per channel, you will be able to connect your stereo speakers and you are ready to enjoy your records.
Juke Box S2 doesn’t stop at playing vinyl though, you will also be able to connect your smart devices via BT and listen to your music wireless. On top of that, another analogue input can be found on the back side of Juke Box S2. Simply connect an external source (e.g. a CD Player) and use Juke Box S2 as an amplifier for your speakers.
The Juke Box Highpower Supply is optionally available. It features up to 50% more peak power output, increasing dynamic and bass response. The true ground connection over a 3 pin power plug can dramatically reduce hum and noise under critical power conditions.

Reviews
EISA Best Product 2018 – 2019
With the record revival in full swing, more and more people want a simple, one-box vinyl solution. The Pro-Ject Juke Box S2 is precisely this, being an ‘active turntable’ with a phono stage, amplifier and Bluetooth built in. You can also buy the matching Speaker Box 5S2 speakers, or source your own. Ease of use is important for a product such as this, so a Pro-Ject cartridge comes pre-fitted and the arm is pre-aligned. Just remove the stylus guard, attach the drive belt, and you’re ready to go. The sound is big and addictive, giving LPs old and new a fresh lease of life.
