Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
ART’s AV Direct brings several consumer and speaker-level source connections into a balanced, microphone-level XLR output. It accepts stereo RCA plus 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch TRS line sources, with separate 1/4-inch and pressure-post speaker inputs. Gain control can be set where the source is located, while the ground lift and selectable 4.8 kHz high-cut filter provide adjustment options when unwanted noise is present. Its padded, transformer-isolated speaker input is rated for amplifiers up to 100 watts at 8 ohms.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Connecting a laptop, iPod, DVD player, HiFi component, or video machine to one XLR microphone-level input.
- Taking an amplified speaker-level signal into a microphone-level XLR input, within the stated 100-watt-at-8-ohms rating.
- Source locations where level adjustment is needed away from an AV room, closet, or installation rack.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Connections requiring more than the single balanced XLR microphone-level output described.
