D Addario EJ 13 011-052 Bronze 80/20

This wired remote control was developed for direct access to the most frequently used functions and commands of TotalMix FX, as an indispensable tool in daily studio practice. The extremely flexible configuration options simplify the workflow and significantly increase the usefulness of the RME interface in most applications.The ARC USB is a USB 1.1 (UAC1) MIDI remote control, directly compatible with Windows and Mac OS X. As soon as it appears in the operating system, it is detected by TotaIMix FX and communicates with TotalMix FX without interfering with MIDI or other remote controls. Therefore, it is not necessary to switch the ARC USB on or off in TotalMix FX, it will work just like that. And since it communicates with TotalMix FX (via USB) it is compatible with all RME audio interfaces that are recognised and supported by TotalMix FX. This goes all the way back to RME interfaces from 2001!As soon as an ARC USB is connected to a computer, every press of a button and every turn of the knob causes a corresponding reaction in TotalMix FX - and therefore also from the RME audio interface used.With the UFX+ and UFX II, the ARC USB can also be connected directly to the device instead of to the computer, as these two are the only RME interfaces so far to have an internal USB 1.1 host with a suitable socket. This type of connection is particularly useful in stand-alone operation, where the UFX+ and UFX II also support the ARC USB.The ARC USB is bus-powered, but draws comparatively little power. It also only uses USB 1.1, which is completely uncritical nowadays due to the low frequency and low speed requirements. USB2 cables with a length of 5 to 10 metres, or cheap USB2 cable extensions, which cause some bus-powered devices to malfunction, work with the ARC USB. Nevertheless, RME recommends the use of active USB 2 cables (also called extension or repeater cables) for longer lengths, which are not expensive and guarantee correct function at 20 metres and more.The ARC USB also controls several audio interfaces simultaneously. It is configured via the Key Commands dialogue in TotalMix FX. This dialogue applies to the selected audio interface. Simply assign each interface only the functions that it should have on the ARC USB. The buttons and the rotary encoder of the ARC USB then control the interface for which they have been configured without having to switch or select anything during normal operation.

When the guitars and basses of the stars are fitted with new strings behind the scenes, the D'Addario brand plays a not insignificant role. Artists such as Sheryl Crow, Lenny Kravitz, Pat Metheny and many others from all musical genres rely on the products of the American manufacturer with Italian roots. What began over two hundred years ago in Salle, Italy, has grown over the years into a high-tech company that is considered one of the most innovative and productive in the entire musical instrument industry. Research and development in the company's own laboratories continues to produce revolutionary new products, and existing products are constantly being improved. Even tiny details such as the shape of the edges of the ball ends are taken seriously: after all, they should not cut into the wood of the bridge or top.Another factor in the company's position on the global market is the high quality of its materials and production. Every raw material is meticulously checked at least three times. During and after production, laser-controlled diagnostic computers ensure that extremely tight tolerances are maintained. All tools and machines used in string production are developed by D'Addario engineers and manufactured in our own workshops - the best prerequisite for the production of consistent quality at the highest level. Even the packaging material is processed in-house and printed in the company's own print shop. Against this background, D'Addario is able to realise ideas very quickly and is always at the cutting edge and usually even a good deal ahead.Today, the brand is at home in over 100 countries around the world, and many instruments leave the factory fitted with D'Addario strings. Every day, more than 300,000 strings are produced in the factory in Farmingdale in the US state of New York, and in the USA alone, musicians can find their new strings with the world-famous logo in over 5,400 shops.

The "Shine" spray cleaning and care product from D'Addario is an easy-to-use daily cleaning product for all instruments with a transparent finish. "Shine" removes dust, fingerprints and most minor imperfections, while colour enhancers bring out the full beauty of your instrument.
