All user reviews for the BSS Audio AR-133

Ben is an active mono DI, is a XLR input, a jack, an XLR output jack and a link.
An on / off switch, a pad 3 positions, a ground / lift.
Battery operated or with the 48v. You can leave the battery in, it discharges not if you use the phantom

It is ultra tough, we could start from the roof of a building 30m, she will damage the floor.

Only thing they could have done differently is a combined output or 2 outputs, 1x 1x XLR and jack.
But it's really good to say something

UTILIZATION

It's been at the top all we can ask a DI to ....
And yet, I never asked him to serve me a beer, chances are she does.

When you need a mono DI is always my first choice, and I've never disconnected to turn another.
Even after that there are as stereo DI, I sometimes prefer BSS 2 out ..
You plug it works, and you pass in succession.

SOUND QUALITY

It is rather a transparent box, and that's good, that's what we asked.

OVERALL OPINION

In all rooms worthy of the name when I was working or playing there at least. 4 or 5 in most rooms.
I have mine for a long time, it was widely used, and it is still like new.
A war machine I tell you!
So of course it's a little more expensive than the competition, but the quality / price is top. This is a DI for life ...
A friend had 2 DI in B ....... ger he not understand why there was some weird stuff, and broke quickly. He borrowed me a weekend for my BSS recording session, and the week after he bought one.
It is a bit like a sm 57, I would say that all people who work in this environment should have one.

If one day he takes me a second I hesitate not one second!
In short, a must ..

I will not dwell on the features easily accessible on the page constructor.

UTILIZATION

I used to connect my bass on my mixer.
This box is powered (for me) by the power supply Phantom of the mixer.
But it also works well with a 9V battery.

SOUND QUALITY

What to say about sound quality, except that it produces no audible distortion, no sizzle.
In fact, this case is completely transparent to the user.

OVERALL OPINION

I have not tried other boxes before and I let myself be guided by the forums.
I do not regret!
Especially since it is fairly easy to find in occas.

It's a box of live active non rack, empty: it is a box!

Connectors: Jack + XLR TS of assymtrique of + TS jack connection (output of the copy of the incoming signal - so they are not related symtrique + XLR output.

Opportunities rglage: Sensitivity of 0. -20 And -40 dB + / Off + possibility of putting the land mass or not.

UTILIZATION

Although it is the successor to the legendary he parat BSS AR116, it is easier to use as a less than complete rglages. Indeed, SETTING THE high-pass filter and phase inversion ts have simply removed from its year. But against it is much more robust and, above all, fawn over this odd to use the batteries (see my opinion on the AR116). And in addition, a trap Pipelines Limited aisment change the order without having to disassemble plunders ^_______^

SOUND QUALITY

Almost equally CHRE the AR116 (see a bit more: approx. 350 CHF nine!), The AR-133 gives a little under his EHJV year. But the sound quality is as good )))

OVERALL OPINION

Ca, at least it's tools scne: dlicat not need to be with, it's really solid! With the same rubber shock absorbing cts. Other brands, then we copied the design (Behringer, for example!).

It is clear that it is a bit expensive but the quality is paid, my faith ... )) Yes, of course I do it again the same choice, unless I buy a large amount (for when there is a lot of synths symmtriser, for example!) because otherwise a charge quickly! ^_______^

Direct Box very complete format "Casing scne of" tough (if not to say indestructible ...)
Possibility of multiple connections, two level pad (-20 and -40 dB).
Powered by internal battery (9V) or phantom power supply (LED indicated)
The REFERENCE regarding the beasts of direct scne.
Only one MODEL "above" is made by Avalon, but a rate that places consquent exhibition games.
I also believe that there is a Klark & ​​Technics on the market (costing twice the price of the BSS), but I have never seen in real life ...

UTILIZATION

Simple.
Switches of good quality and free from unwanted manipulations.
Construction beefy and reliable.
The inscriptions allow usage even when you've lost the manual.
And if you do lose it, it remains downloadable from the BSS site.

SOUND QUALITY

His impeccable, making it arputation.
This beast of size will direct the lion's share of the pros scnes for the resumption of Electroacoustic guitars, basses, and keyboards.
I bought it to replace a Samson. The diffrence is obvious dynamics, the bandwidth is in serious suprieure in the BSS (I know, the rates are not the same ...) I do not think me a spare before long time ...

OVERALL OPINION

Used for six months to get my bass in the sound.
It is suprieure to Behringer and Samson and other "no name" found on scnes frquemment even though teams ...
AA proven it in my rig. J'apprcie its "link" any fact tranparent. So, it is constantly on my pedalboard.
With exprience, I live to 130 d in the BSS that plutt to first 40 in a Samson before changing ...
