AR-133
Active DI Box / Line Balancer

connector (pin 2 hot), unbalanced. Parallel link output 1/4" jack connector for feeding to other equipment, direct or via Buffer Amplifier. at 40dB: 47 kOhm +49dBu

Using a DI box eliminates the need for miking of the backline speakers, providing a clean feed to both console and amplification. The AR-133 has a parallel feed from the input connector so that the instrument may be simultaneously connected to the AR-133 and the amplifier. This means that no special splitter cables are needed. The striking visual design of the AR-133 also has functional qualities. For example, cables can be run underneath to keep cable runs neat on stage, and all from one end of the unit. The moulded sides make stacking of multiple units easier, and help isolate the case of the AR-133 from the stage both electrically and mechanically.

3-pin XLR connector, transformer balanced output. Will drive lines from 600 Ohm upwards. Maximum output level before clip greater than +9dBu with battery or phantom supply. 30Hz to 20kHz , +0/-1dB < -105dBu, unweighted, 22Hz to 22kHz, rms* Less than 0.005% at 1kHz, 0dBu output.
