ART DTI Reviews

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.

perfect

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

Works like should

Works very well for my configuration. There is no noise and the necessary bandwidth is available. The cable length is approximately 60 meters. An earth connection is a particularly good option.

Excellent product for price; Lots of connection options

Good quality and simply works

Almost sort of a Swiss army knife for making connections between different type of cables. Solidly built and simply works. My main use is to function as an isolator to prevent phantom power from the mixing desk reaching my Line 6 Helix. But in different settings I also used it to go from an RCA to XLR cable (for obvious reasons).

Overall very happy with it. It would be even better if there was also a way to convert a stereo signal to a mono; no deal breaker for me though.

Solid piece of kit

Well built and very rugged. Very useful for converting from a balanced source to an unbalanced source - excellent for isolating noise.

I bought this device for XLR in, RCA out. Going by specifications it should be able to do this just fine, but it actually introduced noise rather than eliminate it. And not just a little, really loud too. Fiddled around a bit but found no solution. Balanced to SE is not this device's strong point...

For other set-ups it might work very well though. Just sharing my experience with this particular device. Too bad it didn't work too, competitor's transformers are MUCH more expensive!

ART DTI

This transformer was used to allow multiple inputs to be fed into the system in a bar in my local town. I had XLRs at the DJ booth and this box allowed anything to be plugged into the house system. If a band or DJ arrived, any possible mixer was catered for !

good quality in low price

many inputs outputs stereo di .passive

Good sound,reliable

Robust, good signal and does its job as intended,to clear ground loops. Excellent for the money!

Art Dti

I bought this item because i was getting humming sound in my speakers in some venues I was performing in DJing and also venues where my singers were performing. I friend recommended this item.

This item has dramatically stopped the problem and also improved the sound. I would highly recommend buying this item especially when performing in old venues where electric current ain't properly regulated and current is distorted.

Art Dti provides clean sound.

Great for it's job

Pros: The product is exactly as describes and high quality build. You surely can buy one if you need a long lasting unit with high performance.

Could not find any cons by now!
