Bss Audio AR133

 

The BSS Audio AR133 includes phantom power and battery supplies as standard. Should the phantom power from the console fail or be accidentally switched off, the BSS Audio AR133 automatically switches over to the internal 9V battery providing uninterrupted use. The BSS Audio AR133 is housed in a rugged aluminium extrusion case, with robust polyurethane end-cheeks which give the BSS Audio AR133 a very distinctive look. Input connectors are both 1/4" jack sockets and an XLR socket, the latter meaning that the BSS Audio AR133 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. Input 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 BSS Audio AR133 uses an enhanced version of the same audio path as the AR116, now regarded by many people as a reference standard. The sound quality is legendary, particularly on acoustic and bass guitars.
