Description

Here's what DBX Say

The DBX 286s is a full featured Channel Strip Processor that delivers a studio quality microphone/instrument preamplifier and four processors that can be used independently or in any combination. Why mic up vocals and instruments through a noisy, blurry mixer?

The sonically pristine dbx 286s Mic Preamp has all the features you need, including wide-ranging input gain control, switchable +48V phantom power, and an 80Hz high-pass filter to remove low frequency hum, rumble or wind. Use the patented dbx OverEasy compressor to transparently smooth out uneven acoustic tracks or deliver that classic "in your face" vocal performance that only a dbx compressor can.

Eliminate vocal sibilance and high frequency distortion from instruments such as cymbals with the frequency tunable De-Esser. Fine-tune the Enhancer HF Detail control to add sparkle and crispness to your tracks and make adjustments to the LF Detail control to add fullness and depth to vocals and bass instruments while cleaning up the muddy low midrange frequencies.

Brand

DBX

DBX is represented in the current MicPro catalogue by RTA measurement microphone and 286s microphone preamp or channel strip. The listed range is relevant to microphone measurement and spoken-word or studio front ends. When comparing these products, check measurement calibration, gain, EQ, compression, de-essing, phantom power, inputs and outputs. The catalogue spans capture and processing, so the individual model should determine whether the purchase is for analysis or a vocal chain. This description is kept catalogue-led, so the individual model listing remains the source for exact specifications, compatibility and included accessories.

Microphone Preamps

Microphone preamps raise a low-level microphone signal to a usable line or converter level while adding gain, headroom and the character of the input stage. Compare available gain, equivalent input noise, input impedance, phantom power, pad, polarity or phase, metering, transformer or valve stages and any built-in EQ or compression. The catalogue includes standalone, rack, 500-series and multi-channel designs, so confirm the format and connections before purchase. A preamp should match the microphone’s output and the rest of the recording chain without adding unnecessary noise or gain stages.
