Let’s take a look at the construction features of the dbx 234XL. At first glance you’ll notice the units are great looking,

and as you turn the controls something else becomes apparent; these units are extremely well built. The controls

exude great precision, and the feel is a solid “click”. Also, when you open the box, you won’t find the external power

supply that accompanies most processors in this price range. That’s because we know how difficult external power

supplies can be to work with and even though it costs a little more we put the high quality power supply right in the

unit. All the inputs and outputs are balanced XLR connectors that are screwed directly to the chassis. This connecting

of the jacks insures that even if someone steps on a cable plugged into the unit, it’s not going to tear up the

circuit board inside. All dbx crossovers feature Linkwitz-Riley 24 dB per octave filters, the professional standard, but

then again, what did you expect?

Via two switches on the back panel you first select whether you’re operating your system in stereo 2-way, 3-way or

mono 4-way. Another back panel switch also selects whether or not you want to mono sum the LF (subwoofer) out.

(Most systems that use a subwoofer are mono summed to take advantage of amplifier power and because low frequencies

are non-directional.) Back panel switches allow you to select the range of the crossover frequencies individually

for both channels. The crossover frequency controls have a green LED that indicates the X10 switch on the

back panel is activated (we wouldn’t make you check the switch position on the back every time you wonder where

it’s set). All these switches are on the back panel because it could be disastrous if you were to change them mid-program.

On the front panel you’ll notice there are LEDs that indicate whether the unit is in mono or stereo mode. Each

channel has an input gain control for proper level setting. There’s a recessed 40 Hz low cut (HPF) on each channel

to remove unwanted low frequencies. Both the low and high outputs on each channel have a gain control ranging

reverse switches that’ll help get you out of a bind without having to reconfigure your system. These phase reverse

switches may be internally reconfigured as mute switches.

You’ll get great performance, all the features you’d expect from a professional product, and the knowledge that

you’re buying a processor from the people that have been producing the world’s finest processors for over 20 years.

The technology that made us famous brings you a dbx crossover which has been tested to the highest professional

standards at a price that’s just too low to admit!
