ART AV Direct

While the unit features multiple input types like RCA, TRS, and 3.5mm, it is designed to sum these signals into a single mono output. It is best used for connecting one source at a time to avoid signal interference or unwanted volume imbalances between devices.

Transformer isolation is critical for breaking ground loops, which are the primary cause of the annoying 60-cycle hum you often hear in live sound systems. By electrically separating your consumer device from the professional sound system, it ensures a clean, noise-free signal.

No, the ART AV Direct is a passive device. It does not require batteries or external power, making it incredibly reliable and easy to set up in any environment.

The low-pass filter cuts out high-frequency noise and hiss that can sometimes be present in consumer-grade audio outputs, like those from laptops or tablets. Engaging it helps smooth out the signal, resulting in a more natural, professional sound.

Yes, the unit includes speaker-level inputs, specifically the TS and binding post connections. This allows you to safely tap into a speaker signal and convert it to a line-level signal for a mixer or recording interface.

Absolutely. It is housed in a rugged, all-metal enclosure designed to withstand the physical demands of live sound environments, making it a reliable choice for both permanent installations and mobile setups.
