Melbourne, Australia, May 10th 2021: ARX is excited to present the new USB Ultra I/O VSR Broadcast – a
true 24 bit High Resolution Plug and Play USB 2 channel play and record digital/analog pro audio interface.
Adding another essential audio interface to the ARX portfolio, the USB Ultra I/O VSR Broadcast removes the
need to use any existing sound card outputs, with their inherent noisy environment and problematic
grounding.
Ideal for interfacing USB equipped computers with the balanced inputs and outputs of professional sound
systems, the full transformer balanced Inputs and Outputs on the USB Ultra I/O VSR Broadcast provide the
isolation required to eliminate earth loops / ground hum and other extraneous interaction noise and
distortion.
The USB Ultra I/O VSR Broadcast offers Analog style recording headroom with Analog 0dB In converting to
–18dB and FS Digital providing Analog style headroom when recording in the digital domain. The -18dB
Digital signal reverts to 0dB Analog Out, giving the user the best of both analogue and digital. In addition to
the standard selectable sample rate of 44.1 KHz, the USB Ultra I/O VSR Broadcast also offers 48
KHz,88.2KHz, 96KHz & 192 KHz.
As part of the ARX Audibox range the USB Ultra I/O VSR Broadcast is a simply ‘plug and play’, installing as a
fully compatible generic USB audio device and requiring no special driver program installation on Windows
10 or Mac OSX. The front panel features a standard Type B USB connector, as well as a ground lift switch
and Status LEDs indicating the sample rate selected or available. The rear panel has Left and Right
transformer balanced analog Amphenol XLR Input and output connectors that connect to any standard
balanced analog inputs and outputs.
Handmade at the ARX manufacturing facility in Melbourne, Australia, the ARX Ultra I/O VSR Broadcast is
available to order and shipping now.
