dbx

It began more than 30 years ago with the vision of a single man to better the world of professional audio, and that vision has continued into a new millennium. The late David Blackmer, who is considered to be the father of the modern VCA, had an incurable quest of using decibel expansion to replace the peaks lost to the limited dynamic range of magnetic tape. This quest produced the VCA and RMS detector which taken together have changed the audio world.

In 1971, Mr Blackmer founded dbx Professional Products® which has collectively produced more than 35 patents that continue to forge and reshape the technology in live, install and tour professional audio markets today.

Our award-winning team of designers and engineers have embraced Mr. Blackmer's passion with a vengeance, and continue to design and build the precision and hyper-accurate tools that you, the highly-scrutinizing audio society so desperately require.

We at dbx Professional Products apply the paradigm that you really can be all things to all people. From our rock-solid production series graphic EQs, Compressors and Crossovers, to our DriveRack® series, to our flagship Blue Series® Precision Compressor and Mic Preamp, we provide the tools to accommodate all of your audio needs. We offer this brochure to serve you as a navigational tool in the discovery of all our sonic solutions for a sonic society.
