Product Overview

The dbx 580 Microphone Preamp is a must-have for your microphones, providing sonically transparent gain that will reveal the detail and audio signature of even the most esoteric microphones. It takes their low level output signal and transforms it into a high level, high current output for direct connection to the line level inputs of your mixer, sampler or any other recording medium that accepts line level, analog input.

The dbx 580 delivers up to 6 0dB of gain, features a variable-frequency Low-Cut Filter and unique Low and High Detail Equalization Controls, a 20 dB Pad, Polarity Invert, +48V Phantom Power, a Front Panel Instrument Input, VU Metering and Peak Indicator, and somehow packs all of this into a compact 500 Series design! Save space in you rack with this powerful tool.
