Description

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.

  • Expensive, but good audio quality
I bought this to connect an old AC3 decoder to my EV ZLX-15BT PA speakers. Right now I only have one but I plan to buy 2 more. The AC3 decoder has RCA outputs (6 of them, since AC3 is a protocol to carry surround sound). To get the best sound quality, I decided to try this since it is active and converts the unbalanced signal to a true balanced signal over standard XLR outputs. This gives the benefits that 1) I don't have to worry about the length of the cable from the CLEANBox and 2) since it is a dual channel converter, I can convert the front and rear signals together with one box (for each set of channels). The audio quality is great, and since I have an EV ELX200-18SP subwoofer I can attest that the CLEANBox does not affect the bass with any highpass filters and the midrange and treble come through clear and crisp. The only thing is, while the level knobs are silky and smooth, there is an imbalance in channel 1 and channel 2 volume that is quite noticeable at low levels. So if you have a hot signal and you don't need a high level output, the level knob will cause an imbalance between your stereo channels. Also, while CLEANBox is very rugged with a metal chassis and decent quality connectors, the power supply is nothing special and I think the price is a bit too high, so I'm knocking off a star. ... show more

  • Outstanding
I am using this as an interface between a Denon receiver with no XLR 's and two Meyer Sound Amie studio monitors. I'm using the Denon as a preamp and running two rcas out to this device and into the Clean Box. The Meyers , which are powered speakers, then hook up to the clean box via XLRs. Works great! ... show more

  • Great Product
I would give this 5 stars if it worked as an rca->rca amplifier but it does not work in that configuration. I use it as rca->xlr and it works as advertised. My line level output is higher now. Overpriced for what it does. Shouldn't be over $20.

  • Great tool for connecting your AVR to your Professional sub amp
I got this for my brother, who was having trouble getting full volume out of his Crown professional amps, which he was driving with an older consumer receiver. This helped take his low voltage signal from his receiver and bring it up to the voltage the amps were expecting, and now he is getting full power out of the Crowns. A great way to get your input level high enough for professional amps! I'll be getting one for myself at some point, too! ... show more

  • best way to get unbalanced audio into live stream
I run live stream for church. The unbalanced input audio coming from our mixer was always very hard to control. This unit allowed my techs to quickly adjust the input gain using a simple knob Instead of bothering the audio tech or using the ATEM sliders (which are really hard to use with a mouse) Also the audio needed to go into a 3.5mm mic/line jack on the ATEM mini video switch This box just took the guess work out of figuring the noise level issues ... show more

  • Seems decent, but I may be using it wrong
I purchased this box for meetings at work so I could run the headphone output on a PC to a 3.5mm>RCA cable into the CLEANbox. Unbalanced to balanced signal. I wanted to then be able to run long distances using the benefits of a balanced signal and XLR cable since we never know the layout of our offsite meetings and sometimes a long cable run is needed. Plus, with a volume knob on the CLEANbox, I thought it might also give the benefit of helping a weak soundcard if the PC headphone output seems low. My issue is, with this CLEANbox XLR (balanced) output plugged into an XLR channel input in the PA using even a short (3 ft or 1m) XLR cable, I get a noticeable hiss/noise/hum out of the passive PA’s speaker when the volume on the CLEANbox is turned up even relatively low (9 o’clock). This happens even if there is no unbalanced input source playing or even plugged in. It will happen when the box itself is the only signal in the chain going to the PA. My assumption is the hum must occur naturally in the CLEANbox. I can equalize and make it work, but if I really need the volume, I'm concerned the hiss will coexist with the higher volume. Perhaps the volume dial on the CLEANbox is just very sensitive. Like I said, with EQ I made it work, but I have not tested at a particularly high volume and I may need that in the future. I have multiple questions. Is this normal? Am I using the CLEANbox correctly? Did I order the wrong product for what I am interested in doing? Is there a product to help supplement the CLEANbox with the issue I am having? Any help is appreciated. Thanks! ... show more

  • Works great, excellent price!
A device intended to increase the voltage of a pre-out from your receiver. I can't think of a better use for this than to hook up a Pro AMP with a consumer HT Receiver for subwoofer use. Why? That Pro AMP will want a higher level of voltage before it will decide to do anything with it and your HT Receiver doesn't provide a good amount of voltage on the LFE Pre-Outs without running it super hot. Why don't you want to run the pre-outs at max? Well a few things can happen; 1 - can cause artifacts in the signal which can affect the sound, 2 - lower the lifespan of the pre-out and 3 - not be enough to drive the external AMP to max power. (#3 is the most important) Why use a Pro AMP? Cheap power for great performance AND most give you DSP (Hooray!). Now, consider this, DSP (Digital Signal Processing) IS important and these don't provide that but there are products that will provide signal boost and DSP capabilities. They are more expensive but at the same time a better solution than going Boosted Signal -> AMP w/DSP. For an introductory to setting up your HT, going with a CLEANBox Pro -> Pro AMP w/DSP is probably safer, easier and cheaper, maybe just not the best approach. Been using mine for almost 2 years now, honestly I forgot I had it till the other day when I had to move it. My major qualm is the form factor, I know car use was a consideration so smaller sizes are important but for HT use the size is somewhat a pain on initial set up. After that though its fine, still wish I could get it in a bigger box style. The uses for the CLEANBoxPro has been restated many times, figured I'd put in mine! Would I buy again? no, but that's not against the product itself, I just want something with DSP so I can put a bunch of power amps after it. ... show more
