Product details

The DBX 286A Microphone Channel With Studio Quality Mic Pre-amp, Compressor, De-esser, Lf Detail, Hf Detail & Expander / Gate. Provides all the mic processing tools you need in one box.

The DBX 286A's mic Preamp and five processors can be used independently or in any combination. The sonically pristine mic preamp has all the features you need, including wide-ranging input gain control, switchable 48V phantom power and an 80Hz high-pass filter. Use the 286A's Over Easy Compressor to transparently smooth out uneven acoustic tracks or deliver that classic "in your face" rock vocal. Take out vocal sibilance and high frequency distortion in cymbals with the 286A's frequency tuneable De-Esser. Fine-tune the Enhancer's HF Detail control to add sparkle and crispness to tracks. LF Detail control adds fullness and depth to vocals and bass instruments while simultaneously cleaning up muddy low midrange frequencies. And, the Expander/Gate's separate threshold and ratio controls allow you to subtly reduce headphone leakage or radically gate noisy guitar amps. The 286A has a full complement of metering and status LEDs. XLR mic input and additional 1/4 inch TRS (jack) for connection and processing of live instruments or pre-recording tracks at mixdown.
