BSS AR-133 Active DI Box bundled with Hybrid DB-01 (Passive) DI Box

Both used but good condition.

BSS needs 9v battery to work.

Bundled together £50

The BSS AR-133 is an active DI box that allows you to convert unbalanced signals into balanced ones, providing a wide range of flexibility for any sound. While best-suited to capturing a clean, pre-pedal DI from guitar or bass for studio, home recordings, and live shows, DI boxes provide a lot of additional functionality. The AR-133 can be used to tap off signals from keyboards and synthesisers, DJ mixers, amps, and plenty more, as well as routing this signal to outboard gear for parallel processing. This flexibility shows exactly why DI boxes have become a mainstay of studios and stages across the industry.

Providing switchable input attenuation at either 0 dB, -20 dB, or -40 dB, the AR-133 is built to give your signal the perfect level. With an additional ground lift functionality, this versatile box can help prevent ground loops from appearing in your signal path, so you can be assured your sound comes completely noise-free and clear. Whatever your needs, a DI box offers much-needed flexibility and versatility for any occasion, and the BSS AR-133 offers a durable and affordable solution that'll last in your space for years to come.

Hybrid DB-01 (Passive) DI Box Full Description 

The Hybrid DB-01 is a reliable, budget-friendly passive direct-inject (DI) box designed to interface unbalanced, high-impedance (Hi-Z) instruments with low-impedance (Lo-Z) microphone preamps, mixing consoles, or audio snakes. [1, 2]

Core Functionality

• Impedance & Signal Conversion: It converts unbalanced signals (like those from a \(1 \slash 4\) inch instrument cable) into balanced signals. Balanced lines allow you to run audio over long cable lengths without signal loss or unwanted electromagnetic interference. [1]
• Noise Elimination: Passive DI boxes use an internal transformer to physically isolate the input and output. Because there is no direct electrical connection, this completely eliminates buzz and hum caused by ground loops. [1, 2, 3]
• No Power Required: As a passive device, the DB-01 operates without the need for batteries or phantom power. [1, 2]

Technical Specifications & Features

• Inputs & Outputs: Unbalanced \(1 \slash 4\) inch (Jack) input, an unbalanced parallel \(1 \slash 4\) inch link out (for sending signals to a stage amp), and a balanced male XLR output. [1, 2]
• Impedance Ratings: 50kΩ input impedance and 600Ohm output impedance. [1]
• Attenuation Pad: Features a 3-position switch to adjust attenuation (0dB, -20dB, -40dB), preventing your inputs from clipping when handling high-output sources. [1, 2]
• Ground Lift: Includes a push-button ground lift switch to break the ground connection and stop earth loops. [1, 2]
• Build: Housed in a robust metal casing for durability in live stage or studio environments. [1]
