Aktivní DI box ACTIVE KEY BSS AR-133

The ACTIVE KEY Active Di-Box BSS AR-133 is a professional active direct injection box designed for high-quality audio signal conversion. It features a balanced XLR output and a 1/4" TS jack input, with a parallel XLR link for versatile connectivity. Ideal for stage, studio, and broadcast applications, this DI box ensures clean, noise-free signal transmission with switchable input pads and ground lift.

Advantages

High-quality audio transformer isolation eliminates ground loops and hum. Active circuitry with +48V phantom power or 9V battery operation provides reliable performance. Switchable input pads (0dB, -20dB, -40dB) accommodate a wide range of input levels. Robust aluminum and steel chassis ensures durability in demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting electric guitars, basses, and keyboards to mixing consoles
• Balanced signal transmission over long cable runs
• Stage and studio recording setups
• Broadcast and live sound reinforcement
