BSS AR133 DI BOX

With added functionality and enhanced audio performance, the AR-133 has been designed to be more affordable for musicians, studios and PA companies.

The unit includes phantom power and battery supplies as standard. Should the phantom power from the console fail or be accidentally switched off, the AR-133 automatically switches over to the internal 9V battery providing uninterrupted use.

The unit is housed in a rugged aluminium extrusion case, with robust polyurethane end-cheeks which give the AR-133 a very distinctive look.

Input connectors are both 1/4" jack sockets and an XLR socket, the latter meaning that the AR-133 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 AR-133 uses an enhanced version of the same audio path as the AR-116, now regarded by many people as a reference standard. The sound quality is legendary, particularly on acoustic and bass guitars. Numerous applications can be satisfied by the AR-133. For example, as well as the traditional guitar use, the AR-133 can be used with keyboards, DJ consoles, amplifier outputs, and other electronic sources. An additional bonus is the ability to use the AR-133 as an active balancing device

BSS AR204 QUAD BALANCING UNIT

The AR-204 is a 4-channel, high-quality, passive, transformer coupled balancing unit designed to provide balanced and floating 600 Ohm signal outputs from an unbalanced line level input signal, or it can terminate a balanced 600 Ohm line for unbalanced use.

In addition, the unit can be used as a floating balanced isolator when protection is required between two audio circuits. The AR-211 is a rack-mounting kit for the AR-204 and will hold two AR-204 units.

BSS OPAL FCS 966 DUAL CHANNEL GRAPHIC EQ

Constant Q Filters
The modern generation of graphic eq's
uses the Constant Q topology, pioneered by BSS Audio, which means that the filter width is constant whatever the fader gain setting.

Compared to the earlier 'gyrator' style of filters, Constant Q filters provide a smoother and more predictable interaction between adjacent faders and the resulting eq curve more closely resembles the actual fader positions.

More Gain Control Per Filter
Each eq fader has +/-15dB of adjustable gain, more than many competitive graphic eq's. The faders are long-throw 45mm types for precision control.

High Pass Filter
Also provided on the FCS-966 is a sweepable high-pass filter which can be used very effectively to restrict the low-energy output for better amplifier and loudspeaker performance. Stage monitors also benefit from the application of a high-pass filter to remove bass signals e.g. from vocal-only wedges.

Metering
BSS Audio believes in providing engineers with information, and the FCS-966's 8-segment led meter shows output level and warns of signal clipping within the eq. When the unit is switched to bypass, the meter will read the input level, allowing accurate matching of the 'dry' and equalised signals using the gain control.

Centre Bypass
When any eq fader is in its centre detent position, the filter is automatically bypassed, for optimum performance.

Input/Outputs
All the inputs and outputs of the FCS-966 are electronically balanced, with optional transformer balancing. To make installation of the FCS-966 easier, we've provided three differerent interface connectors: XLR-type, 1/4" TRS jack and Phoenix/Combicon screw terminals.

Relay Bypass
The EQ IN buttons switch the EQ path into circuit. When switched out, or power fails, a high-quality relay switches the input signal directly to the output connectors.

BSS FCS 960 DUAL CHANNEL GRAPHIC EQ

The FCS-960 is a 30-band graphic equaliser featuring Dual Mode switching between Normal and Fine filter width settings on each channel.

The FCS-960 provides two channels in 3U of rack space. Constant Q-filters with filter-bypass centre taps are controlled by high grade, 45mm faders with moulded polymer fader knobs which eliminate visual parallax error even under low light conditions.

Also included are sweepable/switchable Hi-pass filter, Gain control and electronic balanced inputs and outputs.

BSS DPR-901II Dynamic Equaliser

The DPR-901 II is a four-band parametric Dynamic Equaliser which allows frequency-selective compression (-3OdB) and expansion (+16dB). Each band has:
A frequency sweep.
A bell width.
An IN/OUT switch.
Compress/expand control.
Compress/expand metering.
Threshold metering.

Time constants which are automatically controlled by dynamic and harmonic content of signal with selectable FAST RELEASE. It has a filter switch on bands 1&4 which changes bell filter response to a shelving response and on bands 2 & 3 cancels the filter for wide band operation. Electronically balanced input and output.

The unit may be set up as a 1 input/4band or 2 input / 2 bands per channel device, and the filter side chain may be monitored to allow precise tuning of the audio spectrum to be effected.
