MaiA S3

Compact stereo amplifier with timeless design & future-proof technology!

The MaiA S3 continues Pro-Ject's tradition of building versatile amplifiers with a smaller footprint. Ready for digital or analog sources, wired or wireless – you’re covered, and the MaiA S3 is also at the ready for MM cartridges. You can hook up your tuner or any other analog device to one of the three line-level RCA inputs, whilst the DAC section allows one coaxial and two optical connections. Moving to wireless connections, the high definition aptX™ HD Bluetooth 5.0 input allows you to stream your favourite music via smartphone. The newly-designed casework goes even further in blocking electromagnetic interference than in previous models and perfectly matches other Pro-Ject S3 components.

Despite its size, eight source devices can be connected simultaneously:

  • High-quality phono MM + high output MC preamp
  • T3 analogue line level inputs
  • Digital coax input (up to 24bit/192kHz)
  • 2 Toslink (optical) inputs (up to 24bit/96kHz)
  • Wireless Bluetooth streaming (5.0 aptX HD) input with dedicated antenna

Versatile In & Outputs

Phono, Line, Digital, Bluetooth 5.0

Use your favourite headphones or connect your speakers with the 4mm banana plugs and the low noise amplifier will do the rest. The variable RCA output also allows you to include a subwoofer in your setup.

aptX™ HD
