BBR1-B BLACKBOX with Balanced i/o - Summary

The BLACKBOX RECORDER with Balanced i/o adds the ability to capture your performance from a Mixing Console with balanced audio insert points or balanced group outputs.

The BBR1-B uses the lower three 25 way female D-type connectors as balanced inputs and the upper three 25way female as balanced outputs. The unit can use the same high quality D-type cables as for the unbalanced BBR1 but these are not supplied as there are too many different types of termination (1/4" TRS, XLR male, XLR female, 25way D-type, etc.). The cables conform to the standard 8 way balanced analogue cables as used by Tascam, Digidesign, Radar, and many other organisations for analogue i/o.

In the same manner as the BBR1, the BBR1-B loops the inputs directly to the outputs via relays when in record or stop so that even a power failure on the BBR cannot affect the audio through the PA. All other features of the BLACKBOX RECORDER unit remain unchanged.

The Balanced i/o interface uses high quality balancing receivers and transmitters and has been designed specifically for the BLACKBOX RECORDER to be fully transparent.

The Balanced i/o version of the BlackBox Recorder (BBR1-B) is available now
