BSS DI

The AR133 is officially cloned :green:

Wow. Lots of parts.
I guess the small xfmr is for the switcher.
Looks like a lot more than a fet and a transformer.
Probably cheaper to buy one.
I think Musicians Freind has them.

Thanks for the pics!

At least ist cheap to buy the clone :roll: :wink:

The BSS AR133 is around 133?
And the other one is made by "LD-Systems" called "LD02" costs 29?!

I don't have one of these but from the pictures it looks like the cheaper one has only -20dB attenuation while the other one has -20 and -40dB. (+cheaper components).

They also have a mic called D1057 :shock:

:shock:

For example:

or just:

[tony dB]

soundland is like another thomann/musicstore or the manufacturer?
Is this Uli B in disguise?

Will BSS allow this?

You can't compare those two, they're like apples and oranges. The BSS has a nice output xfmr and a DC/DC converter that provides complete galvanic isolation. The LD has no xfmr. Only the plastic looks the same.

Wow! I actually used to scratch build 30 AR116 DI boxes a week for BSS in the early 80's.. mainly pre Green Logo. The AR117 was the phantom addition that fitted in space of the 9v battery. They paid me 2 Quid a go!!! heheheh. but best years of my life!

By '86 I had progressed to 5 DPR402's a week!

Just finished a pair of Bo Hansen 1975 DI's and totally love them more.

Still use them today.

I saw this thread today and saw that was started by CJ, I thought “WOW, great news CJ is back”.
Then I opened the thread and realized this thread started in 2006 , ohhh bummer!!
