The AR-416 is an active 4-channel direct injection unit.

Each channel includes:

High impedance of 1M Ohm.

    * A ?” instrument jack per channel with both parallel and buffered link outputs on ?” jacks
       to feed into backline amps.
    * A low impedance XLR output which is active buffered, transformer-balanced, floating and
       capable of driving 600 Ohm over long cable runs.
    * A selectable 8kHz low-pass filter; polarity-reverse and earth-lift on “XLR side“.
    * 3-way selectable input attenuation (0dB, 20dB, 40dB pad).
    * An additional earth lift on the “jack side“.

The earth lifts on each channel have LED indicators to show true status and avoid confusion.
The unit has total ground isolation with no significant crosstalk between channels and a very
low noise floor.
The unit is mains powered.

The AR-416 is an active 4-channel direct injection unit.

Each channel includes:

High impedance of 1M Ohm.

    * A ?" instrument jack per channel with both parallel and buffered link outputs on ?" jacks
       to feed into backline amps.
    * A low impedance XLR output which is active buffered, transformer-balanced, floating and
       capable of driving 600 Ohm over long cable runs.
    * A selectable 8kHz low-pass filter; polarity-reverse and earth-lift on “XLR side“.
    * 3-way selectable input attenuation (0dB, 20dB, 40dB pad).
    * An additional earth lift on the "jack side“.

The earth lifts on each channel have LED indicators to show true status and avoid confusion.
The unit has total ground isolation with no significant crosstalk between channels and a very
low noise floor.
The unit is mains powered.

 1-channel DI box, passive Converts unbalanced 6.3 mm jack line input (e.g. from instruments) into balanced XLR output for connecting a mixer Switchable input attenuation: 0 dB, -20 dB, -40 dB Ground-lift switch eliminates ground loop problems 1 signal input (6.3 mm jack) 1 parallel output (6.3 mm jack), feed-through of the input signal 1 low-impedance output (XLR) Gray housing

2-channel DI box/splitter, passive Converts 2 separate unbalanced line inputs (e.g. instruments) into 2 balanced XLR outputs for connecting a mixer Switchable to split mode (input 1 routes the signal to both outputs) Switchable input attenuation: 0 dB, -20 dB, -40 dB Ground-lift switch eliminates ground loop problems 2 signal inputs via XLR/jack combo connectors 2 low-impedance XLR outputs Modern convex housing design Full rubber housing corners for safe operation Cables can be routed under the housing

At dbx, when we do something, we do it right. So when we decided to create our new direct injection boxes, we didnʼt settle for the same old tired approach to direct box design. With our dbx name on the line, how could we? One look at our new dB10 Passive and dB12 Active direct boxes will tell you that these are clearly different. With their bullet-proof construction, and extraordinary audio performance to rival their looks, finally thereʼs a direct box worthy of the dbx name.

Utilizing custom dbx mu-metal-shielded audio transformers, high-quality Neutrik® connectors, and low-noise circuitry preserves the sonic integrity and true characteristics of the signal source. Both boxes include a pad switch that accomodates instrument, line and even speaker level signals. Take even more control of your sound by utilizing the polarity invert switch to set the phase relationship between the direct and mic'd sound.

As a professional, you donʼt have time for interference, so weʼve included a ground lift switch to solve potential hum and buzz problems due to ground loops. And between the combined shielding of the cast metal chassis and the custom-wound transformer, you can be doubly assured of a clean signal free from interference. All of this sits atop a solid, stable footprint, that will keep the box from being dragged around the stage, and the unique contoured underside allows secure stacking of multiple units.

So whether you need to control the level, placement in the mix, or overall characteristics of 4 independent signals or control the gain leveling on a couple of stereo pairs, the dbx dB12 is for you.

    Note: Specifications subject to change without notice.

    Standard active DI box. Can be operated with 9 V batteries or 48 V phantom power. High-impedance input; higher output level than with a passive DI box. Active circuitry allows for high input impedance ( 1 meg. ohm) and higher input sensitivity (typical difference between in and out -4 dB). Maximum output impedance with phantom power operation +10 dB. Output: transformer balanced. The special "floating ground" circuitry enables ground lift even during phantom power operation. Metal case 110 x 73 x 42 mm.

    Phantom or battery powered in a rugged steel chassis
     
    The ARX DI-PLUS 2 represents another major step forward in active direct boxes. Packaged in
    a single channel stand-alone format, the DI-PLUS 2 represents a fresh look at active stereo
    D.I. concepts.

    Precision engineered
    Ultra quiet, ultra clean circuitry delivers maximum headroom whatever the signal. Premium grade
    components, plus an all-steel chassis gives excellent hum and noise specifications and superb
    audio quality in a tough, roadworthy package. Accurate Left and Right channel level matching keeps
    the stereo image centred.

    Level control
    The DI-PLUS 2 features two high impedance unbalanced inputs on the front panel, running to balanced
    XLR outputs on the rear. A a global Pad switch drops inputs by 20dB, making it suitable for all applications
    from the softest keyboard to the hottest broadcast levels.
     
    Battery compartment
    The revolutionary simple 'clamshell' action of the DI-PLUS 2 battery compartment makes battery changing
    extremely easy, even on the darkest stages.
    A 9v alkaline battery snaps into a PCB mounted battery holder for fast, secure location. No fragile battery clip
    leads to break, no tools required, no screws to lose. Production crew heaven!
     
    Automatic Phantom switching
    The DI-PLUS 2 will automatically switch itself to the console's own Phantom Power, if available, and an LED
    will indicate this mode. Turn the Phantom Power off and it will instantly revert back to battery mode.

    Rugged all-steel case
    A lot of direct boxes are fitted into brittle cast alloy cases. Not this one! The tough all-steel inner and outer
    chassis of the DI-PLUS 2 provide excellent RF/EMF shielding while making it a sturdy, heavy duty unit that
    is hard to dislodge, and hard to leave behind.
     
    Rear panel showing Left and Right XLR connectors, ground lift switch, battery check switch and LED, plus
    phantom power On LED and captive screw for opening up the unit for battery changing
     
    Whether you're a Studio or Live Sound engineer, installation contractor, or broadcast engineer, you want all
    the dynamics,clarity and stereo information of the original sound source transferred to the mixing console.
    The ARX DI-PLUS 2 provides a rugged, no-compromise solution to all stereo direct injection and signal
    balancing requirements.
