dbx 1BX

1BX

Like its 3BX and 2BX counterparts, the 1BX can increaste the dynamic range of music from records, tapes and radio broadcasts by a factor of up to 50%. Its RMS level detector incorporates an infrasonic filter to prevent mistracking caused by turntable rumble or record warp. Ten LED's monitor upward and downward expansion and, as with the 3BX and 2BX, a transition level is provided to select the level above which the music signal is upward expanded and below which it is downward expanded. because of its less complex circuitry, the 1BX is priced so anyone can affard the benefits of increased dynamic range. The1BX provides a tape monitor loop to replace the one used on your receiver or preamp.
