      Comments about Pro Co Sound AV1 Audio/Video High to Low Impedance Interface:

      I wrote a review earlier for this product, that it worked very well in removing noise from a setup plugging a mixer into a noisy church building system. I recently found another, unexpected use for this item. I also play guitar in a band. Those out there who may play an electric guitar with single coil pickups know that these instruments are subject to noise. My practice space has got some pretty noisy electrical wiring (mainly from multiple light dimmers), and I have always had problems with noise when playing my single-coil-equiped Stratocaster. I have done several things to reduce the noise, with variable amounts of success. The other day while playing, and experiencing a noisy condition, I had the idea of using this interface between the guitar and amp. Bingo! Quiet! Hard to believe, and it doesn't "color" the tone, either (not that I could notice, anyway). If guitar players get wind of this, sales of this product should skyrocket! (funny they don't advertise this -- Pro-Co makes guitar effects, notably the "Rat" overdrive pedal) At any rate, I will be including this from now on as part of my regular guitar setup.

        I purchased this nifty piece of audio equipment after I saw it used by AV pros. I do a lot of Powerpoint presentations that include video clips. Sometimes the audio in the clips is too low to hear, which makes them worthless. This unit boosts the sound level up to normal levels, saving the day. What a wonderful life saver. Worth every penny.

              Very well designed and built adapter...all the popular connectors are built in. As a licensed FCC tech, I'd say this is a very high end adapter for audio applications.

                I use it as a mobile DJ to resolve connecting last minute DVD's Projectors and IPOD devices to my MIXER it resolves all the level mismatches between getting sound from these devices to my audience.

                Well built and does not need added power to use it and has a ground lift option to cure noise & Hum.

                This will be a mainstay in my tool kit to solve audio connections.

                  The AV 1 Audio/Video High to Low Impedance interface by Pro-Co Sound is an invaluable tool for an facility that uses computer projectors and live sound. We have three in-house PA systems where various groups meet. Typically, images are projected from a laptop to a large screen. The AV 1 provides a quick, quiet connection between the computer or projector and allows us to pump the sound directly through the house system. Due to the multiple sets of inputs, it can be connected to a variety of sources without special adapters. The AV-1 also doubles as a direct boxes for plug-acoustic instruments. I recommend it highly.

                      Excellent right out of the box. Very sturdy and delivers what it promises. I am a small local magicial entertainer and needed a device that I could hook up my Sony CD/IPOD player to my Fender Passport amplifier and speakers. Since I travel to many different types of locations, this seemed the ideal product to use...after trying other avenues. You wont be dissappointed in its performance.
