dbx 215s Graphic EQ
The dbx 215s is a dual-channel, 15-band graphic equalizer engineered for mixing and mastering workflows in the studio. Its single-space rack footprint houses responsive 20mm nonconductive sliders with satisfying mechanical detents, making real-time EQ adjustments intuitive and repeatable. This is an essential tool for producers and engineers who need transparent, surgical control over problem frequencies during tracking, mixing, and final processing.
Audio Performance & Equalization
Each channel delivers ±12 dB input gain with a choice of ±6 dB or ±12 dB boost/cut range across all 15 bands, giving you precise control or aggressive shaping depending on your mix. The frequency response of 10Hz to 50kHz and 112 dB dynamic range ensure clean, transparent processing, while the switchable 12dB per octave low-cut filter (3dB down at 50Hz) handles rumble and subsonic content efficiently during recording and mixing.
Design & Build Quality
Rack-mounted in a single 1U space with included mounting hardware, the unit features internal toroidal transformers for audio integrity and a universal 100-240VAC switch-mode power supply for studio flexibility across regions. Output level metering lets you monitor signal without guesswork, and the sliders’ 1-inch throw with center detent makes returning to flat response quick and reliable between takes or mix sessions.
