Dbx 286S Microphone Preamp Channel Strip
Getting a great vocal sound isn't as difficult as you think. You've just got to look at the DBX 286s channel strip. With four powerful vocal processing tools at your fingertips, the 286s channel strip is equally at home in the studio or on stage. Its main feature is that the 286s has a phantom power supply, a high pass filter, and a wide gain range. Furthermore, the 286s features DBX 's classic OverEasy soft knee feature to smooth vocals without taking away their natural expression. A great tool for taming harsh-sounding cymbals as well as eliminating unwanted sibilance, 286s's de-esser section is a must-have for live vocals. With the 286s's enhancer section, you can also add low-end resonance and high-end sparkle. In addition, the expander/gate section reduces ambient stage volume and stray noise. Additionally, the 286s has an external "loop out" insert path so you can patch in an EQ or other processor. Thus, the Dbx 286s is a great fit for any rig!
