| More sound to your amps and speakers
The secret to making speakers sound great lies with the crossover you use. With the dbx® 234xs Crossover you'll get great performance, ultra low-noise, rugged reliability and four decades of dbx knowledge and expertise in building the world's finest processors. The 234xs uses precision filters to separate the audio signal and direct the correct frequencies to your loudspeaker drivers. By directing only the specific frequency bands to each speaker driver the 234xs leaves your amplifiers free to use their full power on the usable signal eliminating distortion and giving your PA system a cleaner and better sound.
The dbx 234xs is a dual channel crossover with all the features you would expect from a professional product. It features Linkwitz-Riley 24dB per octave filters, independent output gain controls for level matching, output phase inversion, 40 Hz low cut filter, and optional mono summing of the low frequency (subwoofer) output. Everything in the design exudes great precision from the solid "click" controls to the high quality XLR inputs and outputs.

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

Signal distributor. 1 stereo input / 4 stereo outputs or 1 mono input / 8 mono outputs
This audio distributor is very useful to supply several audio devices with only one audio source. Its 2 operating modes allow to work with mono or stereo signals. Output level can be controlled independently.
WD 421 adapts itself to work with different impedances, ensuring that output signal level is at least equal to input signal level. It avoids any undesired attenuation and features a LED vumeter to visualize the input signal level.
Audio signal distributor with 2 inputs and 8 outputs.

- With improved 192 kHz sample rate for the best sound reproduction.
- Supports uncompressed 2-channel LPCM (Linear Pulse Code Modulation) audio signals.
- Supports compressed 2-channel and multi-channel Dolby Digital and DTS audio signals.
- Ideal for presentation or distribution to another room.
- The optical (Toslink) digital audio splitter can split a single optical digital input to four outputs without delay or loss of quality.
- Supports the S/PDIF and Toslink standard.
Your TV has 1 Toslink output, but you use 2 amplifiers. This requires the Toslink cable to be split from 1 into 2. An additional amplifier could be, for example, a surround set, a sound bar of an amplifier in the kitchen.
