Description

style:with XLR connectors | Size:Mono 4-way The secret to making speakers sound great lies with the crossover you use. With the dbx 234xs Crossover you'll get great performance, ultra low-noise, rugged reliability and four decades of dbx knowledge and expertise in building the world's finest processors. The 234xs uses precision filters to separate the audio signal and direct the correct frequencies to your loudspeaker drivers. By directing only the specific frequency bands to each speaker driver the 234xs leaves your amplifiers free to use their full power on the usable signal eliminating distortion and giving your PA system a cleaner and better sound. The dbx 234xs is a dual channel crossover with all the features you would expect from a professional product. It features Linkwitz-Riley 24dB per octave filters, independent output gain controls for level matching, output phase inversion, 40 Hz low cut filter, and optional mono summing of the low frequency (subwoofer) output. Everything in the design exudes great precision from the solid "click" controls to the high quality XLR inputs and outputs.

    • Excellent Channel Strip That Makes Your Voice Sound Great And Minimizes Background Noises
style: with Mic XLR connectors Size: Mono 4-way
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. This is one of the few items where I would recommend taking the time to watch the video review fully. I go through the unit and each of the sections and explain what each of the settings do. The video was produced using this channel strip so you'll get a good idea of the sound quality and what the capabilities are. If you don't have time to watch the video, it is about a half-hour, here are the main points. ►► THE GOOD ◄◄ The compressor evens out the volume so it is great for those that don't use a microphone often. The noise-gate really does an excellent job is keeping room noise out of your recordings. The audio enhancements take your voice and give it that broadcast "radio guy" sound. Nice, clean gain that will run most microphones. I'd recommend a Cloudlifter device with Shure SM7B and similar microphones. ►► THE BAD ◄◄ Does not convert the signal to USB, if you want to record on a PC you'll need another device to convert the signal. No on/off switch. I'm using it on my desk and am currently just plugging it in and unplugging it. ►► CONCLUSION ◄◄ If you are a podcaster or voice-over artist this device will instantly help you create better audio recordings. Once you understand each of the settings and how they work you can dial in the sound you want. It does a great job enhancing a voice and minimizing the room noises. Highly recommended. ... show more

    • Best affordable sound treatment for podcasters
style: with Mic XLR connectors Size: Mono 4-way
While everyone is busy sound-treating their podcast environments with expensive foam and plywood I just got this thing. I'm an old audio engineer so here's a tip: You don't need to buy all that foam and sweat in a box while you record. Just get this. My apartment is noisy and I still get great, quiet recordings with this. I also feel better about Skype and conference calls. Get a dynamic mic like an SM7B (*not* a condenser mic, trust me), crank the preamp all the way up on this (it needs it) and set your gate and de-esser thresholds, then get right on the mic. That air conditioner, refrigerator, and outdoor birds chirping? Buh bye. ... show more

    • Solid and professional
style: with Mic XLR connectors Size: Mono 4-way
If you're recording from home, this is what you need. I was getting very frustrated trying to mix "in the box" (mixing after everything was recorded into the computer). If you have an untreated room, you will try to add VST gates to reduce room noise. You use VST compressors after your signal was recorded. You use a de-esser to attenuate your esses. All of it is a massive let-down because you're swimming upstream trying to alter a bad signal that was recorded with all the imperfections built into it. Enter the DBX. Now, I have very little experience with outboard gear, but the reviews are true. This channel strip did what years of fiddling with plug-ins couldn't do: give me a professional sounding recording. I almost could have cried. It sounds lovely and professional. It won't sound like a Neve, but it will give you a nice flat signal and silence your room's foibles. I should say that the effect knobs are extremely powerful, so don't go ramping them up to the right. The compressor, for me, sits at 2 and 1/34 repsectively. I use the EQ boosts judiciously and they give a nice warmth on the bottom and a slight air on the top without being brittle. All in all a beautiful sturdy piece of kit that I wish I had had years ago. In fact, I'm re-recording a whole album with this. It's that good. ... show more

    • Solid Mic Pre-amp for my Shure SM7B
style: with Mic XLR connectors Size: Mono 4-way
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I'm happy with the results I'm getting from this to boost the gain of my microphone plus add a simple compressor, gate, and de-esser. It would be great if you could run multiple mics in and out using the same settings without having to buy one for each mic, but I understand the limitations of that. And unless you're going to rack mount this with other audio gear, it is quite large to put on a desk or hide in a cabinet or drawer. ... show more

    • Production-ready vocals for under $200? No brainer.
style: with Mic XLR connectors Size: Mono 4-way
A big, clear sound ready for podcast or voice on your video. I have no idea what secret sauce DBX uses, but this mic preamp makes big jobs simple. I've never run a condenser through it (might find out it's terrific), but it's perfect for a dynamic mic like the Shure SM7B. Gain, gate, compression, decent de-esser, tone enhancement, all ready to roll and it sounds like I wanted without more gear or a lot of effort. Ideal for generating pro-sounding vox to a video project. Other folks may not agree, but I think the sound is SO good that it needs very little tweeking in a DAW environment. All for less than $200. If I was inclined to be critical, I'd like an on/off switch, but you can always power this unit through a rack switch. Similarly, it would be nice to have an XLR out, but it's TRS and - honestly - at this price point, I'd probably end up converting the signal to 1/4" with a direct box anyway. Great processor/preamp and mine's been running for over a year. I'd get another in a heartbeat. For the project-studio guy/gal out there wondering how to get broadcast quality voice tone without a second mortgage, consider the DBX 286x. Here's a bonus trick someone may find useful: A gate eliminates all room noise; that means you'll have dead silence between your phrases. If it's a problem, you can record a track/loop of clean room noise and import it into your project. That subtle background can make everything sound more natural. ... show more
