ABOUT PRO-JECT AUDIO SYSTEMS Pro-Ject Audio Systems was founded by Heinz Lichtenegger 1990 in Vienna, with the idea that analogue playback is the most cost-effective way to listen to music of audiophile quality. Inspired by the concept of supporting analogue in the face of the digital onslaught, Pro-Ject Au- dio Systems became one of the most powerful driving forces in reinventing analogue turntables for the hi-fi market. Today, Pro-Ject Audio Systems is the world leader in the manufacture of quality hi-fi turntables, as turntables are once again accepted as a must-have for every con- cerned music lover. Pro-Ject products are exported to almost 80 countries worldwide and are the recipient of nearly every award in the audio industry. Pro-Ject produces more than 15 different models to satisfy any taste, wish or requirement of the customer.

Since 2006, Pro-Ject Audio Systems has been bringing its mission “less is more” to the digital world. Inspired by the new possibilities of the iPod and high-quality music reproduction from a PC or laptop, Pro-Ject Audio Systems has designed a complete new and revolutionary range of mi- cro high-end hi-fi components under the family name BOX DESIGN. Starting with the smallest audiophile amp in the world, with open and euphonic sound, Pro-Ject Audio Systems now produces all of the components of traditional hi-fi systems including CD players, tuners, phono amps, headphone amps and switching modules, as well as digital products such as Blue- tooth receivers, D/A converters and streamers to connect with PCs, either wired or wireless. All of the components are packaged in micro ‘cigarette pack’-sized boxes, which allows the stacking and mixing of the components according to the needs of the consumer. BOX DESIGN regards itself as the ‘next generation of hi- fi’ – the link between the micro-sized hardware of the IT world and the big boxes of the audiophile world. All prod- ucts, except for speakers and headphones, are designed and produced in Europe. Pro-Ject Audio Systems: Simple-to-use, high quality sound, astonishing value, long-term stability and good service.
