dbx 286s Microphone Preamp and Channel Strip

The dbx 286s Microphone Preamp and Channel Strip is the most popular rack-mountable broadcast channel strip for content creators and broadcasters who want analogue compression, de-essing, high-pass filtering, and enhancer processing between their microphone and audio interface — achieving the processed, polished vocal sound of professional broadcast radio without expensive software plugins. The dbx 286s has been a staple of voiceover, podcast, and radio production studios for over two decades and provides a level of vocal processing control that on-board interface DSP cannot match.
