Today?s venues face a growing need to provide a multiplicity of audio feeds from presentations, conferences, orchestral performances and lectures. The advent of digital broadcasting, the growth of webcasts and direct-to-CD archiving highlight the deficiencies in audio splitting systems more than ever before. Whether the final product is a broadcast feed or CD sales of an unrepeatable lecture, performance or event, end-users? expectations of audio quality are higher than ever.With these requirements in mind, ARX has developed the MSX 8 Active Microphone/Line Splitter to deliver the performance required by today?s standards of audio production. Active microphone and line splitting has a number of benefits over passive splitters: primarily these are improved sound quality, noise figures comparable to the best microphone inputs, and increased resistance to RFI. All of which translate into superb audio quality for your clients. About the MSX 8 The MSX 8 consists of two channels of actively buffered ultra low noise Microphone/ Line Splitter. Each of these channels has four electronically Balanced splits ? two on the rear panel, plus two more on the front panel. All four output splits have the option of transformer balancing if so specified.Each channel has a ?20 dB pad switch plus silently switchable 48V Phantom power with indicator LED.Gain through the MSX 8 can be set individually by the small DIP switches on the rear of each channel, from 0dB through to +40 dB in 10 dB stepsA ?Link? switch links Channel 1 to Channel 2, providing an ultimate maximum of 8 Outputs from a single input. An indicator LED shows when this is active. A Clip LED indicates imminent signal overload through the channel, and a numbered marker panel on the front provides a space where individual channel connections can be noted.For remote or mobile applications a 5 pin DIN connector on the rear panel provides an access point to connect a 12V DC power supply Inside Information Internally, powerful RF input filtering removes both common mode and differential interference at ultrasonic frequencies and above. High CMRR is achieved by the use of precision components throughout.Advanced user options include internally jumper linking Inputs to Main outputs, and Ground lifting Output Pins 1as required. Internal Power Supply The MSX 8 has a low noise transformer based power supply to obtain the maximum benefit from the ultra low noise design of the splitter circuitry. Summing up, the feature packed MSX 8 is the answer wherever transparent signal buffering and routing is required.

EC-2 Superb Audio Quality Active microphone and line signal splitting has a number of benefits over using passive splitters: primarily these are improved sound quality, noise figures comparable to the best microphone inputs, and increased resistance to RFI. About the MSX 32 With these benefits in mind, the ARX MSX 32 Active Microphone/Line Splitter has been developed to deliver the performance required by the increasing complexity of today?s standards of audio production. The MSX 32 consists of eight channels of actively buffered ultra low noise Microphone/Line Splitter. Each of these channels has four electronically Balanced splits ? two outputs on the rear panel for Main and Monitor, plus two more output splits on the front panel. All splits have the option of transformer balancing if so specified.Each channel has a ?20 dB pad switch plus silently switchable 48V Phantom power with indicator LED. A PFL switch and 6 LED metering enables each channel to be easily checked with headphones for signal monitoring, and also for line tracing when troubleshooting. Gain through the MSX 32 can be set individually by the small DIP switches on the rear of each channel, from 0dB through to +40 dB in 10 dB stepsA ?Link? switch links each channel to the previous one, providing an ultimate maximum of 32 Outputs from a single input. An indicator LED shows when this is active. A Clip LED indicates imminent signal overload through the channel, and a numbered marker panel on the front provides a space where individual channel connections can be noted. Number stickers are provided to give each channel an individual number for up to 40 channels when multiple MSX32s are being used.Internally, powerful RF input filtering removes both common mode and differential interference at ultrasonic frequencies and above. High CMRR is achieved by the use of precision components throughout. Advanced user options include internally jumper linking Inputs to Main outputs, and Ground lifting Output Pins 1 as required. Internal Power Supply The MSX 32?s internal toroidal transformer based power supply is triple shielded to get the maximum benefit from the ultra low noise design of the splitter circuitry. An illuminated power switch on the front panel provides visual confirmation of AC power connection to the unit.The headphone output and the 6 LED PFL metering are both mounted on the right hand side of the front panel. Rear panel connectors enable this function to be linked when using multiple MSX 32 units. To sum up, this feature packed two RU device is the answer wherever transparent signal buffering and routing is required.

For extra flexibility, four front panel switches enable channel linking which permits routing a single input signal to multiple outputs feeding FOH, monitor, recording and broadcast mixing consoles, or merging two input signals into a single output. For use with condenser microphones, the direct outputs serve as a path for phantom power. Each channel includes a ground lift switch to eliminate hum and interference caused by ground loops between electronic equipment connected to the PRMMS8.332.

About the DI6s It's a fact of audio life that a lot of equipment that has to be connected to professional audio systems isn't impedance or level compatible. Interfaces Unlimited Tape/cassette/DVD/CD decks, audio for video, drum machines, synthesizers, bass guitars, computers; at some stage all these need linking up to Balanced inputs, whether the application is Live sound, Studio or Broadcast. To solve these problems, we've developed the DI-6s:
Six active D.I. (Direct Injection) boxes, plus a 6 into 1 Line Mixer, plus a 1 to 6 Splitter, All of this in a compact, all steel 1 RU package.
A Pro Audio Toolbox This unique and flexible audio toolbox allows Six independent unbalanced audio sources to easily and quietly interface with Balanced pro audio systems, either to individual channels or summed down to one Master output. But that's not all. By pressing a single switch on the rear panel the DI6s will change from being Direct Boxes and a Mixer to being a 6 way Splitter (line distribution amplifier). Now it will split an incoming signal to 6 individual outputs or zones. On the front panel, each channel has 2 IN/OUT jacks, a level control from infinity (off) through 0dB to +15dB gain, and a Clip indicator LED.The Master section has a Master volume control and status LEDs indicating whether the unit is in DI or Splitter mode. In addition, as on all ARX single rack unit equipment, each channel has a numbered marker panel ('scribble strip') you can write on for easy confirmation of channel assigns. Balanced Outputs On the rear, each channel has an XLR Balanced output, with associated Ground lift switch and status LED, to isolate the chassis and electronic grounds. The Master section has both Balanced XLR and Unbalanced Jack outputs. In addition there is a Balanced XLR input with a switch to put the unit in either DI or Splitter mode. Universal AC Power AC power range is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V AC, and is connected to the unit via a removable power lead and standard 3 pin IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage change switch. With so many handy functions, plus a true 'user friendly' layout, it's no wonder people call the DI-6s 'A total Audio Patching System in 1 RU!' You'll never compromise on Quality when you choose ARX
