The microphone processor shall have one channel
with an audio frequency response of 20Hz —
20kHz +0.5, -0.5dB, an electronically floating bal-
anced XLR microphone input with an impedance
of not less than 1.5kΩ and with a maximum input
level of not less than 0.2Vrms. The unit shall also
have an electronically floating balanced 1⁄4" TRS
line level input with an impedance of not less than
20kΩ and with a maximum input level of +21dBu.
The impedance of the unbalanced 1⁄4" TRS output
shall be no more than 100Ω with a maximum out-
put level of not less than +21dBu. Total harmonic
distortion shall typically be no more than 0.08% in
operation with all processing controls set to Off.
Dynamic range shall typically be 105dB with pro-
cessing engaged. Output level shall be adjustable
from -30dB to +l0dB via a front panel gain control.
A 1⁄4" TRS insert jack with an input impedance of
not less than 5kΩ and maximum level of not less
than +21dBu and an output impedance of not more
than 100Ω and a maximum output level of not less
than +21dBu shall be accessible at the rear panel.
The insert shall be positioned in the signal path
between the output of the mic preamplifier and the
input to the processing section. The unit will pro-
vide up to six signal processing functions simulta-
neously, including: preamplification, compression,
de-essing, high spectral enhancement, low spectral enhancement and downward expansion/gating. The compression circuitry shall employ a hybrid
feed-back, feed-forward design and a soft knee compression curve. The microphone processor shall have a gain control ranging from +l0dB to +60dB
for Mic In and -20dB to +30dB for Line In, a phantom power switch which activates the +48VDC phantom power circuit, a High Pass Filter switch
which activates a third order high pass filter with a 3dB corner frequency of 80Hz and a Process Bypass switch, which bypasses any subsequent dynam-
ics processing in the unit. The processing section shall contain the following controls: Compressor Drive, Compressor Density, De-Esser Frequency,
De-Esser Threshold, LF Detail, HF Detail, Expander/ Gate Threshold, Expansion Ratio and Output Gain. The following LEDs for metering and sta-
tus indication shall exist on the unit: Input Level (3 LEDS), Input Clip, Phantom Power, High Pass Filter, Process Bypass, Compressor Gain Reduction
(8 LEDs), De-esser (2 LEDs), Expander/Gate Threshold (2 LEDs), Output Clip. The power requirement shall be 100VAC 50/60Hz, 120VAC 60Hz for
domestic or 230VAC 50/60Hz for Europe. Dimensions shall be 1.75" x 19" x 4" (4.45cm x 48 .2cm x 10.16cm), The net weight shall be 4.68 lbs/2.13
Kgs and the shipping weight shall be 6.54 lbs/2.97 Kgs. The unit shall be a dbx 286A Mic Preamp/Processor.
dbx engineers are constantly working to improve the quality of our products. Specifications are, therefore subject to change without notice.
