• DI boxes with Bluetooth 5.0 and USB-C: UNiKA PRO-BT5 and PRO-USB

    The new PRO series by UNiKA consists of direct injection boxes for various applications. With UNiKA PRO-BT5 and PRO-USB, digital audio can be connected with professional stage or studio environments. With Bluetooth 5.0 or USB-C respectively, smartphones, tablets or laptops integrate into existing audio setups. The PRO series DI boxes feature the specially developed transformer EI30A10E 1+1:1+1, a copper foil layer and a dedicated ground layer reportedly guarantee outstanding high-frequency suppression, great signal-to-noise ratio and a very high dynamic range.

    UNiKA PRO-BT5 uses Bluetooth 5.0 for its audio transmission. The digital signal is then translated into analogue audio with a resolution of 44.1 kHz at 16 bit. The nominal transmission range is 35 metres (115 ft) and power supply can be handled through a standard smartphone charger or a power bank, providing 5V of power via USB-C.

    UNiKA PRO-USB functions as an audio interface with USB-C plug-and-play operation for all systems without the need to install drivers. The PRO-USB allows recent smartphones with USB-C connection, tablets and laptops to be integrated on stage or in the studio. The DA conversion works with up to 32 bit and 192 kHz, supporting all common formats including “Direct Stream Digital” (DSD).

    Both PRO-BT5 and PRO-USB feature a 3.5-mm monitor output for headphones. A dedicated, stepped volume knob controls the headphone level. The balanced XLR stereo outputs send the signal to mixing consoles, preamps or active speakers. LEDs signal operation status and data transfer. The electronics are built into a sturdy steel housing with a foam pad on the bottom to prevent the devices from slipping.

    UNiKA PRO-BT5 and UNiKA PRO-USB are available immediately. In Europe, the MSRP for each device is 191,00 euros (excl. VAT).
