Overview
The Dbx 286S Microphone Preamp is a versatile, high-quality mic preamp and processor, perfect for anyone looking to elevate their vocal recordings and live sound. This used unit is in excellent condition and operates like new. It features a studio-quality preamp with 48V phantom power, an onboard compressor, a de-esser to reduce sibilance, an enhancer for added clarity, and an expander/gate to remove unwanted background noise.

The 286S offers a frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz and a gain range of up to +60dB, making it ideal for capturing everything from podcast vocals to professional music recordings. Easy to use, flexible, and reliable, the Dbx 286S adds a polished, professional finish to any audio production. Includes rack-mountable chassis design.
