1. Dbx 286s
Why amplify vocals and instruments with a loud, blurry mixer? The sonic unadulterated dbx 286s mic preamp has all the features you need, including extensive input gain control, switchable +48V phantom power, and an 80Hz high pass filter to eliminate low frequency hum, rumble, or wind. Use the patented dbx OverEasy compressor to transparently equalize uneven acoustic tracks or deliver the classic vocal performance "in your face" that only a dbx compressor can provide. Eliminate tuning fizzling and high-frequency distortion from instruments like cymbals with the frequency-tunable de-esser. Fine-tune the Enhancer HF Detail slider to give your tracks shine and freshness, and adjust the LF Detail slider to give vocals and bass instruments richness and depth while cleaning the muddy low mid frequencies. The separate Threshold and Ratio controls on the expander/gate allow you to subtly reduce headphone leakage or radically noisy guitar amps with the gate. The dbx 286s offers a complete range of measurement and status LEDs that visually guide you to the right sound. The floating balanced XLR microphone input accepts balanced or unbalanced inputs for easy connection to professional and home studio microphones. The additional 1/4" TRS line input can record balanced or uneven signals to process live electronic instruments or tracks already recorded during mixdown. Use the insert jack as the interface between the mic preamp and the signal processing sections to "loop through" to external processors or to mix the mic preamp's signal to an external destination. The cost and effort of putting multiple processors together for use on one track can be frustrating. The dbx 286s gives you all the features you need for microphone processing in one box, with the shortest and cleanest signal path to make your music sound great.
2. Dbx 286s Microphone Preamp & Channel Strip
The DBX 286s is a professional microphone preamp and channel strip designed for studio recordings, podcasting, and live sound applications. This single-channel processor system combines a high-quality microphone preamp with comprehensive signal processing tools, including a compressor, expander/gate, de-esser, and enhancer. Utilizing DBX's proprietary OverEasy compression technology, the device provides smooth, transparent dynamic control suitable for vocals and instruments. The compressor features variable threshold, ratio, attack, and release controls, while the expander/gate reduces background noise in quiet passages. The integrated de-esser effectively controls sibilance without compromising speech clarity, and the enhancer circuit adds presence and definition to processed signals. With XLR and 6.35mm TRS inputs, the DBX 286s accommodates various microphone types and line-level sources. Output options include balanced XLR and 6.35mm TRS connections, as well as a dedicated headphone output with separate level control. The front panel offers intuitive controls with clear LED indicators for input, output, and gain reduction. The robust steel chassis measures approximately 48.3 cm in width, 4.4 cm in height, and 22.9 cm in depth, weighing around 2.3 kg. With universal power supply (100-240 V, 50-60 Hz), this channel strip delivers professional audio processing in a compact, rack-ready design. The DBX 286s represents a successor model in the established line of DBX signal processors, providing reliable performance for content creators, musicians, and audio engineers seeking comprehensive channel processing in a single unit.
