I love the dbx 286s! I recorded vocals with microphones direct in my TASCAM DP-32 on our 1st two albums and while they sound excellent, mixing was sometimes a struggle because of my poor microphone technique. I started using the dbx on our 3rd album, "Strange News From A Distant Star" (on our YouTube channel), and while you might not be able to hear any difference from our first two albums, the dbx 286s made mixing my vocals much easier, and it made any microphone I plugged into it come alive with more versatility thanks to all the excellent features you mentioned.

How would one connect a EQ? Would be 2 cables right?

I use a dbx with a tube mic. Great sound and awesome noisegate!

How did you connect your DB MKII to the dbx & focusrite? 0:59

Hello!
Do you have the schematic for this equipment that you could provide me (dbx286s)?
Thank you very much

I have an interface, would I need to connect this to the interface?

[StellaWembley]

why my ddx makes a hum noise? it is new and original !

[xxLorexx]

hello! how are you? Your video is excellent. One question, can this preamplifier be connected to an ID14 audience? they are compatible? I need to record speech and amplify the signal and give it more body from the preamplifier

[Nagringadrones]

would this help me gain with certainty sm7b emd focusrite?

[mattcero]

I'd say it's not worth it especially if you can get an interface with built in processing and compression like my Mixcast 4.

Hey, I have distortion noise on my dbx 286s just got a couple days ago new. My chain is a sm7b xlr - then output 1/4 to focusrite Scarlett 2i2 but I think the problem is that I’m using a fender instrument for the output signal would a 1/4 trs balanced cable fix it? And it only happens when the processing is on when I press bypass it’s gone.

Just an FYI that American audio decibel meter isnt accurate
