{"product_id":"bss-ar-133-di-box","title":"BSS AR-133 DI Box","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBSS AR133 Active DI Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit includes phantom power and battery supplies as standard. Should the phantom power from the console fail or be accidentally switched off, the AR-133 automatically switches over to the internal 9V battery providing uninterrupted use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit is housed in a rugged aluminium extrusion case, with robust polyurethane end-cheeks which give the AR-133 a very distinctive look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInput connectors are both 1\/4\" jack sockets and an XLR socket, the latter meaning that the AR-133 can be used to convert unbalanced signals to a balanced output on XLRs throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe arched case allows cables to run back underneath the unit from the end for neat cable management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInput attenuation is 0, -20 or -40dB, making the box suitable for instrument, line or amplifier levels on inputs. On the output side, a ground-lift switch is provided for quick solutions to ground-loop problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AR-133 uses an enhanced version of the same audio path as the AR-116, now regarded by many people as a reference standard. The sound quality is legendary, particularly on acoustic and bass guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumerous applications can be satisfied by the AR-133. For example, as well as the traditional guitar use, the AR-133 can be used with keyboards, DJ consoles, amplifier outputs, and other electronic sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn additional bonus is the ability to use the AR-133 as an active balancing device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eARCHITECT'S AND ENGINEER'S SPECIFICATION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAR-133 ACTIVE DI BOX\/LINE BALANCER\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Active Direct Inject box shall provide a transformer balanced and isolated feed from a source input via a 1\/4\" TRS jack or 3-pin XLR-type connector. The output of the DI box shall be via an XLR connector. The unit shall also provide a 1\/4\" TRS jack in parallel with the input to act as a link for line bridging. The link shall be a direct feed from the input, or shall optionally be fed from an actively buffered input signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit shall be powered either via a phantom power source, or via a standard PP3 type 9 volt battery. An led shall illuminate continuously to show power is provided by a phantom source, or flash approximately every 2 seconds if powered by the battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitches shall be provided for: EARTH LIFT (output pin 1 disconnected from unit ground), INPUT ATTENUATION (of 0, 20 or 40dB), and Power On\/Off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit shall be housed in an aluminium extrusion fitted with isolating side-cheeks.
