Product Overview

The secret to making speakers sound great lies with the crossover you use. The dbx® 234s Crossover is the culmination of four decades of dbx expertise; you'll get great performance, ultra low-noise, and rugged reliability. The 234s uses precision filters to separate the audio signal and direct the correct frequencies to your loudspeaker drivers. Splitting the signals by frequency band means that your tweeters, woofers, and subs only receive the audio signals that they can reproduce best This means they're using their power efficiently and eliminating distortion, leaving you with the cleanest sound your sound system can provide.

The dbx 234s is considered a "dual channel crossover," but it offers so many more options than that. You can toggle between three modes: Stereo 2-way (splitting high- and low-frequencies left and right), stereo 3-way (splitting highs, mids, and lows left and right), or mono 4-way (highs and high mids through channel 2, low mids and lows through channel 1). All of the 1/4" inputs and outputs are clearly labeled to make installation simple!

Besides that, it with all the features you would expect from a professional product. It features Linkwitz-Riley 24 dB per octave filters, independent output gain controls for level matching, output phase inversion, 40 Hz low cut filter, and optional mono summing of the low frequency (subwoofer) output. Everything in the design exudes great precision from the solid "click" controls to the high quality 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs.

Make the most out of your 2-, 3- or 4-way sound system with the dbx 234s today!
