ARX unveils the ARX USB-DI VC Digital to Analogue Direct Box.

In response to many requests from users of the original USB DI who have been using it for specific applications, ARX developed the new ARX USB DI-VC which is basically a USB DI with the addition of an output level control. It is still a true Plug and Play digital to analog pro audio interface, removing the need to use any existing sound card outputs, but now the output level can be modified quickly and accurately...

It also still features the USB DI's full transformer balanced output isolation to eliminate earth loops / ground hum and other extraneous interaction noise and distortion.

The addition of the volume control allows the USB DI-VC to be used without a mixer. This is a very useful option when driving active loudspeakers from a laptop - the level control lets you reduce the level instantly to suit the required SPL, which still retaining an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
