ARX AB-10

ISO Debalancer

Description

A Unique de-balancing box, the De-Balancer will convert stereo Balanced Low Impedance signals to Unbalanced Low Impedance signals, to allow leads to run balanced from A to B and then be de-balanced for connecting to a high impedance/unbalanced input at the other end This enables you to keep a balanced line all the way up to the input of an unbalanced unit, reducing hum, noise and interference pickup along the way. Transformer Ground isolation provides low-noise operation suitable for any application The heavy duty all-steel chassis is finished in attractive matt textured powdercoat, with hardwearing epoxy screen printing and slip resistant rubber pads. The De-Balancer is a totally passive device with no power requirements, making it a truly universal problem solver. Security features include Kensington®-type computer lock slot and optional bracket kit for under-table mounting. Available in Dual Channel format only

What we say

The ISO Debalancer from ARX does what it says on the tin! This box converts stereo balanced signals on XLR to unbalanced on phono. There are many mixers and amplifiers which only accept unbalanced inputs, but if you wire a balanced input into an unbalanced, you would lose the advantages of balanced along the whole line (signal noise specifically). With the Debalancer you maintain the balanced line all the way up to the input of an unbalanced unit, reducing hum, noise and interference pickup along the way. Like the rest of the ISO range, this product is passive with no power required.
