Pro-Ject Speaker Box 5 E Bookshelf Speakers

Accessible

The Pro-ject Speaker Box 5 E Speaker is expertly designed to pair well with Pro-ject Box amplifiers, making it an ideal choice for audio enthusiasts. Its compact size and well-priced offering make it accessible for various users. The speaker features a 1-inch silk dome tweeter and a 5-inch glass fibre bass/midrange driver, ensuring a balanced sound profile that caters to a wide range of musical preferences.

Sound Performance

As an upgraded version of the classic Box 5, the E model delivers superlative sound quality with low colouration and remarkable transparency. The frequency range extends from 60Hz to 20kHz, supported by a bass-ported cabinet that enhances overall performance. The well-braced cabinet construction not only contributes to the speaker’s aesthetic appeal—available in a variety of colours—but also helps to minimise unwanted resonances, further enhancing sound clarity.

Components and Build Quality

The Pro-ject Speaker Box 5 E Speaker features a 1-inch silk dome tweeter that provides transparent and smooth high frequencies, with a response reaching up to 20kHz. Silk-dome tweeters are known for their ability to produce a more natural sound. Additionally, the speaker employs high-quality crossover components, with capacitors and inductors securely mounted to a PCB.

This design choice reduces distortion, particularly in the midrange. The 5-inch glass fibre coned bass/midrange driver is rigid and stiff, allowing for less distortion at high volumes, while a robust motor magnet generates impressive bass for the speaker’s size. Constructed from audio-grade MDF, the cabinet effectively resists resonances and features a rear-firing port to further enhance low-frequency performance down to 68Hz.
