The dbx 2215 is a dual channel, 15 band 2/3 octave graphic equalizer with a difference. In addition to the usual features such as 45mm center detented sliders with selectable boost/cut range, high pass filters, active balanced input and output connections, variable input level controls, clip level indicators, and internal power supply, the unit provides both built-in noise reduction, and peak limiting.
With a threshold range of 0dBu to +20dBu, the patent-pending PeakPlus limiter is designed to tame your program material, from the softest whisper to the most sudden transient. Also, the four stage LED ladder gives you a great visual indication as to what the limiter is doing. No more settling for second best!
The dbx 2215 is designed to work with a variety of input signal levels and may be used in applications such as live sound, recording studios, instrument racks, as well as any conventional fixed installation environment.
