The CLEANBoxPro provides two channels of unbalanced to balanced level conversion and two channels of balanced to unbalanced level conversion in a rugged, compact, and portable unit. Balanced lines offer increased immunity to external electrical noise, such as hum. Since a balanced system minimizes induced noise, it is the preferred method of connecting audio gear, especially when long lengths of cable are used. One section of the CLEANBoxPro converts two channels of consumer-level unbalanced input signals into two channels of pro line-level balanced output signals. It has two RCA jack inputs and a stereo mini-phone jack input connected in parallel. The balanced output feeds two XLR male jacks. The other section of the CLEANBoxPro converts two channels of line-level balanced input signals into two channels of consumer unbalanced output signals. It has two XLR female input jacks. The unbalanced output feeds two RCA jacks and a stereo mini-phone jack connected in parallel. Each section has stereo level controls to optimize signal levels. An LED indicator lights when power is applied.

I'm using this device in a professional loudspeaker testing rack and it's functioning 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. After 3 months still performing well.

CLEAN!
Sunday, July 12, 2009
Andrew from San Diego Calif.

I use this to connect a 1/4" reel to reel tape deck into my pro-tools interface because the interface has balanced inputs and outputs. The clean box enables me to run balanced lines to and from the tape deck for the cleanest loudest signals ever! I also use this to connect un-balanced effects such as guitar pedals or rack gear such as delay or reverb. Great product!

Just what the Doctor ordered!
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Jon Geissinger from Elliottsburg, PA (S Central PA)

Clean, small in size, no frills, no mussing around. VERY nice product. Noise free, clear up problems with ground loop hum and noise. Bi-directional, can use both signal paths at the same time. Want to send your headphone signal across the room to another unit, then to a Class A headphone amp; this is the unit. Get two, their small! The ONLY downside is that it uses a wall-wart power supply, and that is just an inconvenience.
