The AR-416 is an active 4-channel direct injection unit. Each channel includes:<##HC bull ##> High impedance of 1M Ohm <##HC bull ##> A 1/4" instrument jack per channel with both parallel and buffered link outputs on 1/4" jacks to feed into backline amps <##HC bull ##> A low impedance XLR output which is active buffered, transformer-balanced, floating and capable of driving 600 Ohm over long cable runs <##HC bull ##> A selectable 8kHz low-pass filter; polarity-reverse and earth-lift on "XLR side" <##HC bull ##> 3-way selectable input attenuation (0dB, 20dB, 40dB pad) <##HC bull ##> An additional earth lift on the "jack side."The earth lifts on each channel have LED indicators to show true status and avoid confusion. The unit has total ground isolation with no significant crosstalk between channels and a very low noise floor. The unit is mains powered.

ART ARTcessories X-Direct Professional Active Direct Box

Powered by an internal 9-volt battery or via phantom power at the XLR output, the X-Direct features a switchable low-pass filter that cuts out all very high- frequency interference. This Bessel filter on the output is placed out of the audio range and is primarily intended to reduce radio frequency interference before it gets into the main system. The filter also reduces computer noise artifacts when used as an interface between a computer-based audio workstation and monitors. Phase inversion switch reverses signal polarity at the source. Stylish, compact, and durable chassis; input attenuator switches for a wide range of signal levels; and an input through jack for tapping off the signal chain. A ground lift switch lets you totally separate the input and output signal grounds, reducing hum and ground-loop noise.

Groundlift switch, balanced XLR output, 1% metal film resistors, 1/4" tip-sleeve input and thru-put, and military-spec circuit boards. The BBE DI-1000 Direct Box adds clarity to active- and passive-pickup equipped guitars and basses.The BBE Process "What it Is"Loudspeakers have difficulty working with the electronic signals supplied by an amplifier. These difficulties cause such major phase and amplitude distortion that the sound reproduced by the speaker differs significantly from the sound produced by the original source.In the past, these problems proved unsolvable and were thus relegated to a position of secondary importance in audio system design. However, phase and amplitude integrity is essential to accurate sound reproduction. Research shows that the information which the listener translates into the recognizable characteristics of a live performance are intimately tied into complex time and amplitude relationships between the fundamental and harmonic components of a given musical note or sound. These relationships define a sound's sound .When these complex relationships pass through a speaker, the proper order is lost. The...

ART PDB Passive Direct Box

The PDB is a roadworthy DI for connecting electric instruments and other audio outputs to the balanced inputs of mixers and other balanced inputs. It allows connection to an instrument amp while simultaneously patching it to a mixer. The PDB translates high-impedance signals from instruments into low-impedance balanced signals required by mixers. It also automatically balances and matches line level outputs of keyboards. If you're using a multiple keyboard setup and your keyboards are all plugged into a single amplifier, the PDB can replace individual direct boxes. Simply send the output of the instrument amplifier to the PDB and then to the console (instead of a separate DI box for each keyboard). DJ mixers often supply only an unbalanced 10dB signal. The PDB converts this signal to a balanced line level signal before it reaches the console, while providing a convenient method of connector transition with the capability to run long cables. It also accepts speaker level inputs from a power amp allowing post-amplifier, post-EQ, and effects signals to be fed directly to the console.
