ARX USB-DI-VC

Plug and Play 24 bit High Resolution digital to analog pro audio interface with Output Level Control

Description

In response to many requests from users of our original USB DI who have been using it for specific applications, ARX is excited to present the new ARX USB DI-VC - everything that the original USB DI was, with the addition of an output level control. It is still a true Plug and Play digital to analog pro audio interface, removing the need to use any existing sound card outputs, but now the output level can be modified quickly and accurately.. Naturally it still features full transformer balanced output isolation to eliminate earth loops / ground hum and other extraneous interaction noise and distortion. The addition of the volume control allows the USB DI-VC to be used without a mixer. This is a very useful option when driving active loudspeakers from a laptop - the level control lets you reduce the level instantly to suit the required SPL, which still retaining an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. The USB DI-VC installs as a fully compatible generic USB audio device, requiring no special driver program installation on Mac OSX, Windows XP, 7/8/10 The rear panel has a Type B USB input connector while the front panel has an Output Level control and two transformer balanced analog audio XLR Line out connectors for connecting to any standard balanced analog input. A status LED on the rear panel next to the USB Input indicates that the USB DI-VC is connected and operating. The USB DI-VC is housed in a heavy duty all-steel chassis finished in attractive matt textured powdercoat, with hardwearing epoxy screen printing and slip resistant rubber pads. It is ideal for interfacing any USB equipped computer (especially notebook computers) with the balanced inputs of professional sound systems. Security features include Kensington®-type computer lock slot and optional bracket kit for under-table mounting. The USB DI-VC is available in Dual Channel format, includes a premium quality USB-A to USB-B cable, and is hand made in Australia

What we say

With BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) being so common now, we are finding integration with PC’s to be integral to every AV system. Of course we can achieve audio integration using 3.5mm jacks, but this experiences issues as the unbalanced audio picks up noise very quickly, and the audio signal degrades as a result. The USB-DI from ARX is a professional solution, which outputs dual, balanced XLR via USB connection. This allows integration with other pro-audio equipment by using balanced wiring, and means you can run the audio output without picking up any noise along the way. You can also select for mono outputs, if you don’t have enough inputs to support stereo. This solution is completely driverless, USB powered, and works with both Mac and Windows PCs.
