dbx / DBX676FX

This is a 1-channel strip that allows you to create sound with the warm tone characteristic of vacuum tubes.

■Channel Strip

A 1-channel channel strip equipped with a vacuum tube microphone preamplifier, equalizer, and compressor/limiter. The 676 represents DBX's history of dynamic processors spanning over 40 years. It allows musicians to creatively pursue their desired sound by controlling the rich, warm tone unique to vacuum tubes. It is widely used not only for recording but also for live stage applications.

■Main Features

・Equipped with DBX's renowned equalizer and compressor/limiter

・3-band parametric equalizer with sweepable mid-band

・Can correct sonic characteristics of microphones

・Compressor section inherits the design of DBX's legendary 162SL

・The limiter employs PeakPlus, which protects the system from excessive input while maximizing dynamic range

◎In addition to the XLR microphone input, it also features a standard phone jack instrument input. High-impedance instruments such as electric guitars can be directly connected. The output includes a line output after the compressor/limiter, as well as a preamp output that allows you to extract the signal after the EQ and before the compressor. The post-preamp has an insert jack, and the compressor has a sidechain jack, allowing for expansion with external processors. The front panel features a vintage VU meter that switches between input/output/gain reduction display. It also includes a 20dB pad, +48V phantom power, a polarity reversal switch, and an 80Hz low-cut filter.
