dbx 2031 Single 31 Band Limiter and Graphic Equalizer

It's amazing. One little button. So much effect. dbx® Type III® Noise Reduction is an entirely new concept... virtually instantaneous encode/decode within the circuitry of the box. dbx® started out to build the finest EQs possible, boxes with the heritage and performance to rival their famous 30 Series EQs. And to no one's surprise they came out awfully darn good. But then, they got idea of putting their patented noise reduction in the box. The EQs sounded great without it but with it the performance was nothing short of incredible. Check it out yourself and see.

Then there's the PeakPlus® Limiter. Who knows more about limiting than the folks at dbx; nobody... that's who. So when they were developing this new series of EQs they wanted something that would be unique to these EQs. Once again, hearing is believing... With a threshold range of 0dbu to plus 20dbu, the patent-pending PeakPlus limiter is designed to tame your program material from the subtlest nuances to the rowdiest hits. Also, the four stage LED ladder gives you a great visual indication as to what the limiter is doing.

20 Series EQs. You used to have to settle for second best in a reasonably priced EQ but not any more. With the new 20 Series from dbx Professional Products you get a great EQ circuit, a graceful yet powerful limiter and the revolutionary new design of the Type III Noise Reduction. You'll see, with the 20 Series EQs you get MORE!!!
