General

The secret to good sound sits in the crossover you choose. With the DBX 234S crossover, uncompromising high-performance is backed up by incredibly low noise, solid reliability and four decades of DBX knowledge and expertise. This takes the form of precision filters that carefully split the audio signal, before the corresponding frequencies are passed onto your speaker drivers. In the 234S, you really do have one of the world's finest processors on your side.

The 234S Does Exactly What You Expect, and More

This crossover only sends specific frequency ranges to each speaker, leaving your amplifiers free to use their full power for the usable signal. This means less distortion, and a brighter, undeniably better sound for the entire PA system. The DBX 234S is also a double-channel crossover, and provides all of the functionality you would only expect of a pro-grade unit, including Linkwitz-Riley 24 dB/octave filters and independent gain control for tweaking the levels.

Extraordinary Crossover Functionality

The DBX 234S has been gifted with a phase inversion for the output and a 40Hz low-cut filter. There's also the option to add the lower frequencies (subwoofer output) in mono. Every aspect of the design of this crossover has been completed with exacting precision, from the solid 'click' controls, to the high-quality TRS inputs and outputs.
