Fosi Audio P3 is a compact tube preamplifier and headphone amplifier with RCA and Bluetooth 5.1 source inputs.
Replaceable 5654W tubes, aptX-family Bluetooth codecs, bass and treble controls and outputs for headphones, amplifiers and powered speakers make it a versatile analog control stage.
Why it stands out
Tube preamplifier character
A true tube stage adds adjustable tube character between line-level sources and the rest of the audio system.
Wireless and wired inputs
Bluetooth 5.1 with Qualcomm QCC3031 and RCA input support convenient source switching.
Headphone and system outputs
A 3.5mm headphone jack, RCA output and AUX output support personal listening and downstream components.
Hands-on tone control
Front bass and treble controls help adapt sound to headphones, speakers and room conditions.
Best for
- Adding Bluetooth and tube character to a power amplifier
- Desktop wired headphone listening
- Active speaker systems needing volume and tone control
- Users interested in replaceable tube tuning
Not ideal for
- Driving passive speakers directly
- Turntables without a phono preamp
- Systems requiring USB, optical or coaxial digital inputs
EMiUZEK Buying Notes
- P3 is a preamplifier/headphone amplifier, not a speaker power amplifier.
- Its RCA input is line level; a standard turntable needs a phono preamp.
- RCA and AUX are downstream outputs, while the front 3.5mm jack is for headphones.
Frequently asked questions
Can P3 drive passive speakers?
No. Connect it to a separate power amplifier or powered speakers.
Can I use wired headphones?
Yes. It supports 16–300Ω headphones through the front 3.5mm output.
Does it accept digital inputs?
Bluetooth is supported, but there is no USB, optical or coaxial input.
Can I connect a turntable?
Only through a built-in or external phono preamp before the RCA input.
Can I connect an active subwoofer?
The AUX or RCA line output can feed compatible downstream equipment; confirm the subwoofer's input and system gain arrangement.
Are the tubes replaceable?
Yes. The supplied 5654W tubes are replaceable with compatible tube types.
