TC Electronic DB MAX, Digital Broadcast Maximizer - Used

TC Electronic DB MAX - Used

The TC Electronic DB Max is a professional Level Maximizer and Audio Enhancement processor designed for use in digital transmission, linking, webcast and radio STL applications. Featuring high resolution and high sample rate processing prevents unwanted distortion and listening fatigue from being generated, artefacts often associated with comparable processors.

*This is a used item. The unit is in excellent working condition with some signs of use. Please see images.

The 5-band section in DBMax can be combined with Automatic Gain Control, Dynamic and Static Stereo Enhancement, Dynamic and Static Eq and other tools for maximising audio impact and creating a signature sound. Balanced and unbalanced AES/EBU I/O is standard, and outputs are always active. Sample rate conversion can be invoked when using digital inputs. Analog I/O is standard and outputs are always active. The 24 bit converters are scaled in the analog domain, with scaling under preset control, to minimise noise and maximize headroom under all operating conditions. DBMax can be remotely controlled using GPI or RS485 serial inputs. IEC not included
