Description
The secret to making speakers sound great lies with the crossover you use. With the dbx® 234s Crossover you'll get great performance, ultra low-noise, rugged reliability and four decades of dbx knowledge and expertise in building the world's finest processors. The 234s uses precision filters to separate the audio signal and direct the correct frequencies to your loudspeaker drivers.
Features
- TRS differentially balanced ins and outs
- Mode switches for mono 4-way or stereo 2-way/3-way operation
- Low frequency summed (subwoofer) output
- x10 range switch on both channels
- 40Hz high pass (low cut) filter both channels
- Phase reverse switch on all outputs
- Individual level controls on all outputs
- 24dB per octave Linkwitz-Riley filters (the professional standard)
- Stereo/Mono status LEDs indicate the selected mode
- dbx® 2 year parts and labor as standard
- CSA NRTL/C approved
- CE compliant
Why We Like This
Its dedicated analog controls and Linkwitz-Riley filters make loudspeaker band splitting easy to understand, quick to adjust, and predictable in real-world PA systems.
FAQs
Q: What crossover modes does the dbx 234s support?
A: It is a stereo 2/3-way mono 4-way crossover with selectable operating modes for common multi-way loudspeaker systems.
Q: Does the dbx 234s include subwoofer and phase controls?
A: Yes. The published feature set includes low-frequency summing, output phase inversion, and individual output-level controls.
Q: What connector format does the dbx 234s use?
A: This model uses 1/4" TRS for its inputs; confirm the matching outputs in the technical specifications.
