DESCRIPTION

The BSS Audio AR133 is a tour-grade active direct injection box for taking instrument, line and speaker-level signals into a balanced microphone input. It suits engineers and installers who need a dependable, transparent interface between stage sources and the console, whether on a touring rig or in a permanent system.

The audio path is an enhanced development of the long-established BSS AR-116, a unit widely treated as a reference for DI performance. The AR133 matches level and impedance at unity gain without loading the source, so pickups and high-impedance outputs retain their tonal character, and the balanced output drives long cable runs without degradation. Power comes from console phantom power, with automatic switchover to the internal battery should phantom power fail. Construction is a rugged steel enclosure built for repeated handling on the road and reliable long-term service in racks and under-stage positions.

  • Switchable input attenuation: 0dB for guitar-type pickups, -20dB for line level, -40dB for speaker feeds
  • Unity gain level and impedance matching without loading the connected source
  • Balanced output capable of driving signals over long cable lengths
  • Parallel Link jack output for feeding an instrument amplifier directly
  • Parallel XLR input for converting unbalanced outputs to balanced lines

Well suited to touring, live events, theatre, broadcast, houses of worship, studio and installation work where signal integrity and mechanical reliability are non-negotiable.
