Features and Specifications from Henry Engineering:
THE MATCHBOX is an active interface amplifier that properly interfaces unbalanced “consumer” IHF-standard or Semi-Professional audio equipment with professional studio gear. THE MATCHBOX is a bi-directional unit, with four independent amplifiers providing stereo input and output audio interface. Two amplifiers convert a stereo HI-Z unbalanced source to LO-Z balanced outputs at studio level. A second pair of amplifiers converts a stereo balanced studio line source to unbalanced compatible outputs. All four output levels are adjustable.
All circuitry is active and direct-coupled for absolute sonic transparency, making THE MATCHBOX ideal for use with digital audio sources such as DAT recorders and computer-based digital sound editing systems.
