General

The secret to good sound sits in the crossover you choose. With the DBX 234XS 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 234XS, you really do have one of the world's finest processors on your side.

The 234XS 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 234XS 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 234XS 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.

Aan te bevelen

Had voorheen de Samson x-over.

De dbx is zijn meerprijs meer als waard. Zowel kwalitatief als auditief is de dbx superieur.

Gebruik hem in studio opstelling met JBL speakers en Yamaha P7000S power

amps. Service van Bax voortreffelijk

een uitstekend advies van bax-shop, zoals ik gewend ben.

de crossover us makkelijk in bediening.

geen aan/uitschakelaar op de crossover, voor mij geen probleem, zit op de stekkerbox in mijn 19inck rack.

Makkelijk te bedienen apparaat. De frequentie knoppen hebben een plezierige rasterfunctie. Steeds 2 klikjes per streepje. Geluid is behoorlijk transparant en ruis is laag. Vind hem beter klinken dan budget dsp crossovers. Geluid van een paar - voorheen passief gefilterde high end toppen - is duidelijk beter geworden.

Wij hadden voor een club een simpel te gebruiken maar toch kwalitatief goede crossover nodig. Deze DBX voldeed hier perfect aan, alles voelt gewoon degelijk aan, en is ook voor de minder gevorderde gebruiker goed uit te leggen hoe die bediend moet worden.
Wij gebruiken hem zelf als 3 weg crossover, ( mid/hi stereo en lo mono ), maar hij kan ook 4 weg aan.
Uit eerdere ervaringen weet ik dat het gewoon een heel degelijk product is, en ook in installaties heb ik er nog nooit problemen mee ondervonden! ++ voor degelijkheid en betrouwbaarheid!
