The mkII version of this very popular motor drive is more powerful and has higher quality parts for even greater speed stability. The Speed Box II is a high-quality power line regenerator and a phenomenal upgrade for most turntables. The Pro-JectSpeed Box II greatly improves speed stability, which means quieter, blacker backgrounds, excellent bass performance and a smoother, sweeter tonal balance. Highly Recommended! “Aside from providing better regulation of platter speed, the Speed Box II permits electronic switching between 33 1/3 and 45rpm. Everything tightened up: high-frequency transients sharpened, bass textures became far more musically recognizable, and overall “tunefulness” – the ability of the table to deliver the beats that make music sound real – became credible. If you’ve got a Pro-Ject or a Music Hall turntable, do yourself a favor and invest some money in a Speed Box Mk II! It makes the table sound twice as good. No kidding!” Michael Fremer, Stereophile, July 2006 Hi-Fi News had this to say about the Speed Box in their May 2005 issue, 'The addition of a Speed Box proved very worthwhile, adding more control to the timing, a better sense of placement of the performers in a venue that seemed to have grown in size in all directions.' 6Moons.com said 'Truth be told, I really wasn't expecting much from this teeny weeny box...Aye Caramaba! The wee Speed Box was a minor revelation, even with a couple of thousand dollars of fancy power cables and AC conditioning, the Speed Box had a huge impact on playback!' • Electronic push-button speed change between 33 and 45 RPM (No need to move belts!) • Quartz-generated high precision electronic speed regulation • All functions are microprocessor controlled  Specifications: Quartz Oscillator: Speed Stability ±0.01% Provides output of: 16VAC 500mA Max Power Consumption: 3W Max Dimensions (HDW): 1 ½ x 4 ½ x 4 Weight: 1Lb 4oz.
