DBX Record question - Steve Hoffman Music Forums

Opinions on Dynamic Range Extenders - Steve Hoffman Music …
2003年6月2日 · If you want to minimize the breathing go with either the DBX 3BX-III or 3BX-DS and go light on the expansion settings. Both also have an "Impact Restoration" feature in addition to the usual expansion that can add some snap back to the drum and percussion transients (if you really tweak it and don't have great expectations.) Never use a one or two band unit like the …
Who are the main users of dBx equipments today?
2001年1月30日 · Back in the 80's, dBx used to give Dolby a run for the money. Unfortunately, Dolby was like Microsoft, which really knew how to market its product while dBx was more like Apple. I believe dBx is now a subsidiary of Harman International, just like JBL, AKG and Levinson, etc. But who are the main users of dBx equipments today? coopmv, Jul 11, 2006 #1
Audio nostalgia - Steve Hoffman Music Forums
2018年2月8日 · I auditioned the dbx 1BX and 3Bx, but greatly preferred the Pioneer RG-1, which I still have, and which I just recently had fully refurbished. Elcaset came and went too fast for me to buy into it. (Not being an early adopter sometimes pays off!) Is there anything, nostalgia-wise, in the audio gear world that I pine for? Hmmm...
Too Much Dynamic Range? - Steve Hoffman Music Forums
2003年8月10日 · I have a newer dbx 1BX-DS on hand that I need to repair, which is a newer expander/compressor. My Pioneer DV-45A has a feature that will decrease the dynamic range, but I think it only works on Dolby surround audio, not music.

2004年8月30日 · I won a newer version of this on eBay, a model from the mid to late 80s, a dbx 1BX-DS, which has newer, faster circuitry. Only $25, but it needs a couple of new potentiometers.
Dynamic Expanders....are they worth it? - Steve Hoffman Music …
2014年1月7日 · This arrangement allowed me to get the most amazing Hammond B3 organ sounds through it's Leslie 122 rotary speaker cabinet, which was then miked and recorded. Again, the key to the DBX DYNAMIC RANGE EXPANDERS is subtle adjustment and learn to listen to dynamic amplitude responses as effectively as your eyes are capable of seeing it's "light show".
Loudness & tone controls-why? | Steve Hoffman Music Forums
2004年6月23日 · For "loudness" compensation, I actually have used a small Radio Shack single-band bass enhancer, which is just a single-band EQ that works like a parametric in a way (you pick a "shelf" frequency, and the amount of boost)...and, a dbx 118 compressor/expander. (I bought a dbx 1BX-DS to replace it, but it needs some minor repair. One of my eBay ...
Phase Linear 1000 - Steve Hoffman Music Forums
2005年2月14日 · I also have a much newer 1BX-DS model from the late 80s or early 90s, picked up dirt cheap, because it needs two new potentiometers. Some of their 80s products were expanders only, including some that were dual and triple band expanders (the dbx 3BX model). And the most recent were in a "DS" series that also had impact recovery.
