ART DTI

Super useful!

Our mixer (XR18) only has XLR outputs but venues often ask us to send a feed to their in house system or something and this just makes it easy no matter what antiquated cables they hand you. Any input from XLR, TS, TRS and RCA to any of the same outputs. Really useful for, for instance DIing a laptop or an odd keyboard.

Does not help with ground loops

It might be that application is limited only by blocking a DC current. I purchased this device in order to struggle with ground loops producing a low frequency hum in my setup. There is no help, the hum is even more loud when using ART DTI

It's good

I used it for a hum I have in my speakers. I was using technics 1210s, a sub, a mixer and speakers. I changed all leads to xlr first, but the leads from the sub to the speakers were rca's that I just put xlr adapters on. I got the dti but it didn't eliminate the hum. So I've replaced the leads from sub to speakers with direct xlr leads and the hum is gone. I had to bypass the sub as it was those leads I've used. I will purchase now xlr leads and go through the sub again to see if the noise returns. Ultimately the dti didn't solve my problem initially, leads did but I can tell my sound is clearer and more crisp so it does improve sound. I will update this review once I change the leads from the sub and see if that helps.

doet wat het moet doen

Only one problem

I bought this to reduce buzz in my studio and while the unit looks great, seems very sturdy and well constructed, it actually amplified rather than reduced the noise! Pity about that.

ART Dual Transformer/Isolator

i got this to help me connect to my SD recorder with XLR. i go from my laptop (via M Audio Air Hub) to the DTI using TRS pair (balanced 1/4" jacks), then to my Denon 300R SD recorder with XLR. works great, and it's well built/feels solid and certainly will put up with studio use (it definitely seems like it's up to 'outdoor'/gig use too; and it's compact enough for on-stage). overall, i'm really happy with it.

Works great

I hear a computer whine in my monitors when I use synths that have a grounded power connector (no problem with gear that uses an adapter).

When I use the DTI (jacks in - xlr's out), this whine disappears completely while the clarity and bass of the synth signal remains.

Great solution if you have this problem.

Excellent solution for PC and studio monitors

With this transformer i managed to eliminate the interference of my CPU and GPU on my studio monitors. Before, when the GPU (dedicated high end graphics card) was over 5% of usage, i could hear noise from the speakers (through the external audio interface through USB). With this Isolator, even when in 100% GPU usage, i hear nothing.

I strongly recommend it for home studios or whatsoever.

For computer use

I tried on my guitar rig, it sucks the volume. Maybe not what it meant for. But for reducing hum/ground from computer to PA, yes it does.

Very good for isolation

Cant beat this, it just works perfectly
