Brand
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 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.
