The DBX 286s is an industry standard for podcasters, streamers, vocalists, and voiceover artists looking to clean up and enhance their vocal chain before hitting the interface. It combines a studio-quality preamp with four versatile processing modules in a single 1U rack space.

Key Features & Signal Flow:

• Studio-Grade Preamp: Wide input gain range (+0dB to +60dB), +48V phantom power, and an 80Hz high-pass filter to cut out low-end rumble.
• Classic dbx OverEasy Compressor: Smoothly controls dynamics and gives vocals that professional, polished presence.
• Tunable De-Esser: Tames high-frequency sibilance and harshness instantly.
• Enhancer Section: HF & LF Detail controls add high-end sparkle and low-end warmth without muddying the midrange.
• Expander/Gate: Removes background room noise, fan hum, and headphone bleed.
• I/O Connectivity: Floating balanced XLR mic input, 1/4" TRS line input, 1/4" TRS output, and a dedicated 1/4" insert jack for external hardware loops.

Condition:

• Functional: 100% fully functional. All knobs, switches, LEDs, and inputs/outputs operate smoothly without noise.
• Cosmetic: Very light rack rash on the mounting holes, otherwise clean faceplate and chassis.

What’s Included:

• DBX 286s Processor Unit
