Main Features

Maximum Level
Maintain maximum level and simultaneously eliminate overshoots.

  • Maximum efficiency: 5-band compression
  • Limiting: Sample accurate, distortion reduced Limiter
  • Multi Slope: Add gain at mid-levels without squashing the transients


Optimum Quality
The DBMAX employ precise calculations at a full processing rate, in order to keep aliasing distortion low and audio bandwidth high.

Audio quality has been our primary concern when designing the DBMax - hence you can even cascade several units without any sonic penalties.

  • Bandwidth: Processing at up to 48kHz sample rate for 24kHz audio
  • Resolution: Processing of all 24bits of an AES/EBU Digital signal
  • A/D-D/A converters: 24bit resolution with analog pre-scaling


Output Formats
AES/EBU, S/PDIF and Analog outputs are all active simultaneously.

Digital outputs may be dithered to resolutions between 8 and 24bits.

Analog and Digital outputs may have emphasis applied individually.

Gain Transfer
Example of gain transfer and parameters using DBMax.

Presets
The DBMax comes loaded with 60 presets for a variety of different applications.

DBMax Internal Structure
Four selectable Insert algorithms surround the multi-band structure.
The digital output fader may be remotely set via voltage control.
