ARX managing director Colin Park says, "ARX consulted a wide range of our existing broadcast users when developing the new BSX16 broadcast splitter.
"ARX's design team concluded the BSX 16 would be an ultra low noise 16 output active press/broadcast splitter with full transformer isolation to eliminate the introduction of extraneous noise and ground loops. Suitable for Radio, Condenser & Dynamic Microphones the BSX 16 also features Dual inputs with individual Gain and Level controls and Dual Loop Outputs and switchable 48V phantom power.
"Differing output signal level requirements for the variety of media recording devices now being used are catered for by channels 9 - 16 featuring switchable mic or line levels, allowing the BSX 16 to be plugged directly into the microphone inputs of Broadcast Cameras and Portable Recorders.
"The BSX 16 also features a balanced XLR PA Output connector on its rear panel, allowing connection directly to powered loudspeakers for press conferences etc, eliminating the need for a separate audio mixer. Additionally, audio output level monitoring is provided by both a LED output meter, and a headphone output."
