dbx’s new 12 Series equalizer line is designed to meet
the needs of the most demanding sound reinforcement environments while offering
the simplicity of straightforward controls. Two dual-channel models initially
comprise the line - the 2U 1215, featuring 15 2/3rd-octave bands per side, and
the 3U 1231, featuring 31 1/3rd-octave bands per side.
Both the dbx 1215 and 1231 provide standard features like dual channels, ISO
frequency centers, ±12dB input gain range and switchable 18dB per octave
40Hz Bessel low-cut filters. dbx’s engineers also added numerous other thoughtful
extras, including 45mm faders, selectable ±6dB or ±15dB boost/cut
range for precise gain adjustments, a choice of XLR, barrier strip and 1/4-inch
connectors for installation ease, balanced inputs and outputs for quiet operation,
chassis/signal ground lift capabilities for quick hum isolation, and an internal
power supply transformer to eliminate the despised ‘wall wart’.
Housed in durable steel/aluminum chassis, dbx 12 Series equalizers are precision
engineered to provide years of maintenance-free operation in any application.
The magnetically isolated transformer, electronically balanced/unbalanced inputs
and servo balanced/unbalanced outputs, RF-filtered inputs and outputs, and power-off
hard-wired relay bypass with two second power up delay are a few of the steps
that dbx has taken to ensure compatibility for all installations.
Only the best components are utilized in the 12 Series, which yield a 10Hz
to 50kHz frequency response, greater than 90dB SNR (ref +4dBu), less than 0.005%
THD + Noise (1kHz at +4dBu), and interchannel crosstalk of less than -80dB from
20Hz to 20kHz.
