Four processors add up to one superb channel strip. The dbx 286s Microphone Preamp & Channel Strip Processor is a complete solution for getting great sound. Youll get crystal clear sound and the control to adapt to any recording application. Make your sound a cut above the rest. Whatever the sound source take advantage of a compressor de-esser enhancer and expander/gate to perfect your sound. 48V phantom power and an 80 Hz cut off high pass filter ensure you can get a signal from any mic and eliminate low frequency hum or wind noise. Transparent or apparent – the choice is yours From subtle transparent tweaks to radical sound overhauls you can get the effect you need with the dbx 286s. The compressor can have a high ratio or be used in patented OverEasy® mode. From light acoustic tracks to full on rock performances the 286s has you covered. The de-esser tackles vocal sibilance but you can also use it to remove the harshness or prevent high frequency distortion on other instruments like cymbals or guitars. High and low frequency enhancement are also just an adjustment away. Add some high end sparkle or low end fullness with the turn of a knob. Stay in the loop Precise LED monitoring means youll always be aware of the state of the important settings on your channel strip. LEDs show you the preamp level gain reduction on the compressor as well as info on the de-esser expander and a clipping indicator. Be totally aware of the state of your channel strip and have total peace of mind at your gigs.
