Overview
The Kopul PAX-USB converts the digital audio from a computer or smartphone to a balanced analog signal that can be sent to a PA system or a broadcast or mixing console. This plug-and-play direct box is ideal for playing prerecorded audio on your computer or smartphone over a PA system at live events and concerts and flying in tracks from your devices to a multi-track recorder. It’s simple to connect to your system and it gives you the option of outputting a stereo or two-channel mono signal. Ground-lifted and transformer-isolated balanced XLR outputs deliver superior sound quality that’s free of noise, RF and EM interference, and ground loop hum. High-resolution digital to analog converters assure your audio will reach its destination without output loss, coloration, noise, or interference.
Features
For Computer Audio
The PAX-USB Direct Box plugs into a USB port and converts your computer’s digital audio to an analog signal that you can send to a recording device, PA system, or mixing board. Add the audio you recorded or sequenced on your computer to a recording session, or play tracks from your smartphone to a PA system for live events, concerts, or clubs. If you thought the only way to send your computer’s audio to a PA system or mixing board was via the headphone output jack, you’ll be thrilled to know about the PAX-USB.
Balanced XLR Outputs
The XLR outputs send a balanced signal that’s free of radio frequency and electromagnetic interference. Even on long cable runs that traverse a studio or stage with audio and lighting cables, your tracks will reach the PA system or recorder in pristine condition.
Transformer Isolation
The PAX-USB is made with transformer-isolated balanced stereo outputs that will eliminate unwanted hum from ground loops. This feature is useful when feeding computer audio to a live sound system, especially when a projector is connected to your computer. Isolation transformers are also extremely effective at reducing high-frequency noise, so your audience won’t hear unwanted hiss either.
Mono-Stereo Switch
When the stereo output option is selected, the PAX-USB outputs a 2-channel stereo signal. But when you’re feeding audio to a PA system, you have the option of summing your stereo mix and sending two mono tracks to each speaker. Even if you’re using only one PA speaker with your system, your audience will hear a full mix no matter where they’re sitting.
Bus Powered
The PAX-USB doesn’t need a power cable or an external power source. It runs on the power from your USB port, so no matter where you are, you can use this direct box to feed the audio to a PA or mixer.
Rugged Metal Construction
This direct box features rugged metal construction. It’s road ready whether it’s rattling around in a gear bag, guitar case, or in your coat pocket.
