dbx 520
Product code: DD-520 | ID: 227999
The dbx 520 will help you expertly tame the excessive sibilance often found in vocals and other high frequency dense material. Based upon the legendary dbx 902, the dbx 520's unique features make it possible to achieve an exact amount of de-essing regardless of variations in signal levels. The 520 allows you to create brilliant, crisp vocals without sibilance. - Based on the classic dbx 902 - Frequency Control Range from 800Hz to 8kHz - Expanded Scale LED Gain Reduction Metering - De-essing Amount Range from 0dB to 20dB - In/Out Switch - HF Mode Switch
