{"product_id":"bss-bssar133","title":"BSS AR-133 Active Direct Box","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe AR-133 Active Direct Box from BSS includes phantom power and battery supplies as standard. Should the phantom power from the console fail or be accidentally switched off, the AR-133 automatically switches over to the internal 9V battery providing uninterrupted use. The unit is housed in a rugged aluminium extrusion case, with robust polyurethane end-cheeks which give the AR-133 a very distinctive look.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInput connectors are both 1\/4\" jack sockets and an XLR socket, the latter meaning that the AR-133 can be used to convert unbalanced signals to a balanced output on XLRs throughout. The arched case allows cables to run back underneath the unit from the end for neat cable management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInput attenuation is 0, -20 or -40dB, making the box suitable for instrument, line or amplifier levels on inputs. On the output side, a ground-lift switch is provided for quick solutions to ground-loop problems. The AR-133 uses an enhanced version of the same audio path as the AR-116, now regarded by many people as a reference standard. The sound quality is legendary, particularly on acoustic and bass guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNumerous applications can be satisfied by the AR-133. For example, as well as the traditional guitar use, the AR-133 can be used with keyboards, DJ consoles, amplifier outputs, and other electronic sources. An additional bonus is the ability to use the AR-133 as an active balancing device.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"BSS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51124617052344,"sku":"46145","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/7382\/4696\/files\/46145_BSS-AR-133-Active-Direct-Box.jpg?v=1768002943","url":"https:\/\/soundpro.com\/products\/bss-bssar133","provider":"SoundPro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
