ARX DI6s 6CH. ACTIVE DIRECT BOX.SPLITTER and LINE MIXER

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

Flawless performance in any audio environment

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.

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.

The distribution of mono and stereo balanced audio signals from a single source to multiple destinations has many applications including multi-zone sound reinforcement installations, live sports events coverage, broadcast studios, video suites, duplication or indeed anywhere high quality audio has to be distributed to a number of locations down long cable runs.

The Drawmer DA-6 is a six channel stereo (or twelve channel mono) distribution amplifier featuring XLR balanced inputs and outputs with optional transformer balancing where remote amplifiers and recorders are fed from separate power supplies.

The stereo Input features individual left/right level controls with LED bargraph metering enabling the correct balancing of stereo material or two mono signals. Each of the six outputs incorporate further left/right level controls and a Mono/Stereo switch providing the selection of either one stereo output or two mono outputs per channel. This feature allows the DA-6 to function as either a 1 x stereo input/6 x stereo outputs or 1 x mono input/12 x mono output unit or any combination of the two.

The output section consists of a Channel Select so that the individual left/right output level of each channel is displayed on the output LED bargraph and can be monitored by the Headphone jack socket. A pair of auxiliary link stereo jack sockets (TRS) are provided via the rear panel for connection to further DA-6 units for the distribution of even more channels.

DBX 2215 Dual 15-Band Graphic Equalizer with Noise Reduction

 It's amazing. One little button. So much effect. dbx? Type III? Noise Reduction is an entirely new concept... virtually instantaneous encode/decode within the circuitry of the box. We started out to build the finest EQs possible, boxes with the heritage and performance to rival our famous 30 Series EQs. And to no one's surprise they came out awfully darn good. (Ask to see the Audio Precision plots compared to the competition.) But then, Roger (our chief engineer, a nice guy, as far as engineers go) got the crazy idea of putting this new noise reduction stuff in the box. We listened to it and were amazed. The EQs sounded great without it but with it the performance was nothing short of incredible. Check it out yourself and see.

But hey, Roger wasn't about to stop there. PeakPlus? Limiter. Who knows more about limiting than the folks at dbx; nobody... that's who. So when the guys were developing this new series of EQs they wanted something that would be unique to these EQs. That's when Roger got another one of his bright ideas and said "I bet they'll work a lot better if there's a cool limiter built in." Next thing you know, all the guys are in the studio amazed at the new limiter Roger had designed specially for the 20 Series. Once again, hearing is believing... With a threshold range of 0dbu to plus 20dbu, the patent-pending PeakPlus limiter is designed to tame your program material from the subtlest nuances to the rowdiest hits. Also, the four stage LED ladder gives you a great visual indication as to what the limiter is doing.

20 Series EQs. You used to have to settle for second best in a reasonably priced EQ but not any more. With the new 20 Series from dbx Professional Products you get a great EQ circuit, a graceful yet powerful limiter and the revolutionary new design of the Type III Noise Reduction. Check out the dbx 20 Series graphic EQs at your pro audio outfitter. You'll see, with the 20 Series EQs you get MORE!!!
