Blue DI Wireless Direct Box

Smart Phones and Tablets have rapidly become the audio source of choice for Corporate A.V Presentations, Seminars, System Demonstrations and Testing, Musicians, D.Js and many other audio system users.

Designed by the ARX Engineering team to fill the market niche for a wireless Active Direct Box interface, the new Blue DI connects today's (and tomorrow's) SmartPhones, Tablets and similar devices, to the Balanced Line Level Pro Audio world.

Simply place your wireless enabled SmartPhone, PC or tablet near the Blue DI, scan for 'ARX Blue DI', and then pair with it. Pull up a music file, press PLAY, and that's all there is to it!

Ultra low noise and low distortion circuitry, plus electronically Balanced XLR outputs complete the Blue DI package.

Features

  • Muliple power options - Phantom Power and12 V DC
  • Wireless connection - allows many portable media devices to still charge while playing
  • Electronically Balanced Outputs with 200 Ohms output impedance lets you drive long cable runs without signal loss
  • Ultra low distortion (.01% @ 0dB out) circuitry, with a Frequency Response of 20 Hz to 20 KHz ±1dB
  • The Blue DI is fitted into a Heavy duty all-steel chassis finished in attractive textured blue polyurethane, with hardwearing epoxy screen printing and slip resistant rubber base pad
  • Optional bracket kit for under-table mounting.

Precision engineered
Most of the Audibox range share a common footprint and manufacturing platform. Offset lid screws enable close side-by-side mounting of multiple units.

AV-DI Plus

Introducing the new AV-DI Plus Stereo Audiovisual Active Direct Box…the only AV-DI box you'll need!

The new AV-DI Plus from ARX Systems is a stereo Audio Visual Active Direct box, featuring industry standard dual 6.5mm, RCA and stereo mini jack inputs and dual balanced XLR outputs.

This latest addition to the Audibox™ range is designed as a straightforward solution for interfacing computer sound cards, smart phones, iPads and similar devices with professional sound systems. Finished in a heavy-duty all-steel chassis and with a fibreglass PCB, the compact AV-DI Plus is built to last.

The AV-DI Plus features a -20dB input Pad & Mono output switch plus Phantom or 12 - 18V DC power options.

Features and benefits of the AV-DI Plus:

  • The AV Plus converts Unbalanced Audio signals to Balanced, Low Impedance signals suitable for use with professional equipment and long cable runs.
  • Switchable Ground isolation provides low-noise operation suitable for any application, preventing ground loops and other extraneous noise.
  • The AV Plus features industry standard dual 6.5mm, RCA and a stereo mini jack input and dual balanced Amphenol XLR outputs.
  • As an added feature, for those applications including Corporate AV and Computer interfacing the AV Plus also features a Mono'ing switch allowing Stereo signals to be easily summed to mono, thereby requiring only one mixer channel for playback
  • Optional bracket kit for under-table security mounting.
