INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Pro-Ject Pre Box RS2 Digital

Dear music lover,

thank you for purchasing a Pro-Ject Audio Systems preamplifier.

In order to achieve maximum performance and reliability you should study these instructions for use carefully.

Warning of a hazard for the user, the unit or possible misuse

Important notice

Safety instructions

AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Before connecting to the mains, make sure that the

voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the power supply.

The power supply is used to disconnect the unit from the mains. Make sure that the power supply is easily

accessible at all times. Never handle the device or the power supply while your hands are wet or damp.

Avoid letting liquids enter the device or the power supply. Never place any item containing liquid, such

as a flower vase on or near the device. Never spill any liquid on the device or the power supply. Never

place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles on or near the device. The product shall not be used

in damp or wet locations, next to a bathtub, sink, swimming pool or any other similar conditions.

Connectors

Make all connections whilst the preamplifier is disconnected from the power supply.

Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red,

the left channel black or white.

Never use any other power supply than the one supplied with the unit except of Pro-Ject Power Boxes

which can replace original power supplies.

Analogue outputs

The unit offers following analogue output sockets:

1 pair of XLR connectors for balanced output

1 pair of RCA connectors for unbalanced output

Headphone Jack 6,3mm - socket on front panel

Inputs

USB

is dedicated to connection to a Computer. Connect the USB-input of the unit (unit must be switched on) to a

free USB-socket on your computer and turn it on/make sure it is powered on.

Driver installation (Windows® operating systems only)

Windows 10 operating system supports 24/192 playback (wasapi), installation of a supplied driver

(ASIO) is not necessary. Driver is however required for playing DSD files.

For Windows®operating systems a USB driver (supplied on CD) has to be installed. Insert the included CD

into the drive of you PC and follow the instructions.

Complete the installation by restarting the computer.

After installing the driver, some settings have to be checked/done.

For example - Windows 7®and newer operating system:

Control Panel Hardware and Sound Sound Playback:

select Speaker/Project Pre Box RS2 USB 2.0 Audio Out

Properties Supported formats: make sure nothing is assigned

Level Sound: setting must be 100

Enhancements: disable all enhancements Advanced Default Format: set to studio quality 24/192

Please note: Connection should be made to an USB-socket of your computer directly. Connecting to

USB-hubs or switches can cause problems.

S/PDIF inputs:

Pre Box RS2 digital offers 4 digital S/PDIF inputs: Opto1 and Opto2 are optical inputs, Coax is coaxial input

and AES/EBU is balanced input.

Bluetooth

Make sure the antenna is attached to its connector on the back panel prior using Bluetooth.

Use only supplied antenna

Bluetooth icon on the display works as a status indicator:

white icon: no active Bluetooth connection

green blinking: waiting for pairing confirmation

blue icon: Bluetooth device is connected

Connect new device is possible only when icon is white.

Pairing with Android devices

Open Settings and tap on Bluetooth. Turn on Bluetooth and tap on Scan. Searched devices will show up.

Tap on Pre Box RS2 Digital and confirm presented pairing code on your Android device. Then press "Right

arrow" button on Pre Box RS2 digital (alternatively button "OK" on remote control) when the icon is green and

is blinking. When connected, your Android device will show "Connected to media Audio". Now you can play

music from your Android device over Bluetooth to Pre Box RS2 Digital.

Bluetooth pairing with Apple devices

Tap on Settings, tap on Bluetooth, turn on Bluetooth. Your device will automatically start searching for

available devices. Tap on Pre Box RS2 Digital and confirm by pressing "Right arrow" button on Pre Box RS2

Digital (alternatively button "OK" on remote control) when the icon is green and is blinking.

I2S

This input is dedicated for connection with Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 using HDMI cable. This connection also

provides Masterclock for CD player

Analogue inputs: Unit is equipped with two analogue - line livel inputs: balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA

Mains power connection and methods to switch the unit on and off

Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the Power 20V DC socket of the preamplifier before

connecting the power supply to the mains. The unit can be switched on and off by using 2 different methods

which are equal in priorities.

We recommend to set the volume control to minimum, prior to switch on.

1. Using front pushbutton to switch on or into standby

The pushbutton on the front panel of the unit alternately turns the power on or returns it to standby mode. The

blue LED on the front panel shows that the unit is powered on. If a trigger signal is present the unit can’t be

switched off by the pushbutton.

2. Remote power on - triggers

The unit can be switched on via other Box Design components when a 12V trigger voltage is present at the

2.5mm socket marked Trigger Input. Special power-on cables (polarity ) in diverse lengths are available

as accessories. The remote power-on signal can be relayed to further units via the Trigger Output socket. When

the 12V trigger signal is switched off, the unit will also switch off.

Trigger cables may only be plugged into the sockets when the unit is disconnected from the power

supply and from the mains. Failure to do so may result in damage of the unit.

Remote control

POWER turns the unit on or back into standby

Mute activates and deactivates mute. If mute is engaged, the blue LED

above the ON/OFF switch flashes.

Headphone connection

Connect the headphones to the socket on the front panel (Jack 6,3mm). The rear outputs are not

disconnected when headphones are in use.

Volume

Adjust the volume to the desired level, using the large knob on the right side of the front panel.

Use any button on the right side of the unit to enter Menu, then use buttons Up and Down to browse in

Menu, button Right enters subpage or activate selected item, button Left return to previous page or step out

of Menu.

Display returns back to main page after 10s of inactivity.

INPUT : Direct access to inputs. See separate chapter about inputs.

UPSAMPLE :

OFF: upsampling inactive

Recommended for playing native sample rates. In such case is also recommended to disable cross

fade and start/stop fade if available in player.

MQA: only MQA data are upsampled

ON :all data from digital inputs are upsampled to 384/352kHz

Recommended settings for playing MQA and/or tracks with various sample rate

RECLOCKING : is a technology which changes internal clock synchronization in the unit. Overall effect on

jitter is insignificant, however in spectrum analysis of signal are visible changes mainly at higher frequency

sampling rates (384/352 and above) which could affect listener experience.

TUBE STAGE: OFF, ON (Tube stage needs heat up period after start of the unit - tube symbol is blinking)

DIGITAL FILTER

When playing MQA files, user´s filter setting is not active, MQA filter is always used. MQA filter is

custom made for our DAC to ensure best possible MQA experience

Oversampling bypass

The oversampling FIR filter is bypassed and source data directly

into the IIR filter. The audio input is automatically oversampled

at 8 x fs rate to have the same IIR filter bandwidth as PCM audio

sampled at fs rate. UPSAMPLE setting is overrided to ON

ANALOG FILTER

LPF 25kHz : 25kHz low pass filter active

LPF 120kHz: 120kHz low pass filter active

LPF Auto : 120kHz filter is always active except of playing DSD64 files when 25kHz filter is activated.

MQA (Master Quality Authenticated)

MQA is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording. The

master MQA file is fully authenticated and is small enough to stream or download.

Visit mqa.co.uk for more information.

Pro-Ject Pre Box RS2 Digital includes MQA technology, which enables you to play back MQA audio files and

streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording.

‘MQA’ indicates that the product is decoding and playing an MQA stream or file, and denotes provenance

to ensure that the sound is identical to that of the source material. ‘MQA’ indicates it is playing an MQA

Studio file, which has either been approved in the studio by the artist/producer or has been verified by the
