ART DTI Overview

The DTI (Dual Transformer/Isolater) from ART is a high quality, totally passive audio interface that uses a pair of high performance transformers to totally separate input and output signal grounds, thereby isolating two systems and reducing hum and ground-loop noise.

The unit's audio transformers have an extremely flat and wide frequency response and can handle high signal levels while maintaining an isolated balanced output. This gives the DTI a very clean and neutral sound with a wide variety of signal sources. The transformers are wound for 1:1 unity gain and are designed to be used with impedances from 600 Ω to 100k Ω.

Versatility
Useful for making a "clean" interface between a computer based audio workstation and a speaker system, isolation on long cable runs in a fixed installation, isolation of a signal source from any recording equipment, or in many cases, just a safer connection between two audio systems.
Connectivity
Provides XLR, 1/4" phone and RCA type phono connections on all inputs and outputs. This allows the unit to easily fit into virtually any audio system and be the clean patch point between all types of systems.
Construction
A compact black anodized, all aluminum case and passive design allow the DTI to provide years of trouble free service in Live Sound, Permanent/Fixed Install, D.J. and virtually any PA application.

ART DTI Reviews

High non linear distortion

By Monte
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2023-05-30

Non linear distortion, specifically odd harmonic, is very high. Given a 100 Hz tone, 3rd is barely -60 dB. Odd harmonics remain high to the 9th harmonic which is about -85 dB. Even harmonics were almost non existent. If harmonic distortion isn't critical for your situation, it should otherwise work fine. Frequency response is not ruler flat but is very acceptable being within less than -1 dB across 20 to 20KHz. mk

This is awesome!!

This eliminates hum noise!!

question

I'm thinking of purchasing this unit, but am curious to how you would connect it from your motherboard to PC speakers. I know it has RCA inputs/outputs, and would assume:- Speakers connect to the output?- Motherboard connect to the corresponding input?Only asking, as their website doesn't have an instructional/manual on this...Thanks.

You can only use this line level unit with internally powered speakers that connect to the motherboard with line level signals, not speaker level. Usually, this means via the connectors on the unit itself.

LINE input or MIC input or both ?

LINE input or MIC input or both ?

Both, but I think only one at a time.
