The dbx 530 Parametric Equalizer is a versatile 500 series module inspired by the dbx 905, featuring three filter bands with adjustable bandwidth control and up to 15 dB cut or boost. Each band can independently apply an “infinite notch” for specific frequency removal, and the high and low bands switch between peaking and shelving. The “In” button provides easy comparison between affected and bypassed signals.
The dbx 560A Compressor/Limiter, designed for 500 series lunchbox chassis, offers VCA-based compression with switch-selectable OverEasy and Hard Knee curves, identical to the dbx 160A. This unit features broad threshold, ratio, and output controls, along with true RMS level detection for natural dynamic processing. Ideal for enhancing drums, bass, and vocals, it provides flexibility from subtle compression to brickwall limiting. Suitable for both studio recording and live sound, it effectively manages fluctuating levels and prevents overload distortion.
The dbx 580 Mic Preamp is a 500 series lunchbox-style chassis that provides up to 60 dB of low-noise amplification suitable for a variety of microphones.

They offer comprehensive input processing tools including gain control, EQ, selectable paging microphone processing, and advanced functions like Auto Gain Control and Feedback Suppression. The routing module provides Primary Source Selection and Source Ducking. Outputs include processing tools such as AutoWarmth®, EQ, bandpass filters, and limiting. These tools ensure system optimization and scalability, making them ideal for commercial applications.
The ZonePRO 641m features six inputs, including four balanced mic/line terminal blocks and two mono-summed RCA pairs, with four outputs. It offers a pre-configured architecture for input/output processing, configurable insert processing, and optional audio channel duplication via a link bus. Hardware-controlled microphone gain and AutoWarmth® technology ensure optimal audio quality across all output zones.
The 676 Tube Microphone Preamp Channel Strip from dbx integrates a tube mic preamp, 3-band parametric EQ, and a 162SL-based compressor. The Class-A preamp operates at 250V for versatile tone control, and the EQ includes sweepable mids. A front-panel instrument input also makes the device suitable for direct instrument recording.
The AFS2 Dual-Channel Advanced Feedback Suppression Processor from DBX effectively protects audio systems from feedback while preserving sound integrity. It features application-specific filter types and 24 narrow-band notch filters, which eliminate feedback without compromising frequency response. The front panel includes a wizard function for easy setup, an LCD display, a segment LED for input monitoring, notch filter indicators, and bypass buttons. The rear panel accommodates XLR and 1/4″ switchable inputs/outputs and a USB port for firmware updates. It comes with an IEC power cable.
The Zone Controllers enhance the functionality of the DriveRack® and ZonePRO™ series by using analog DC voltage for logic control, including zone source selection, volume control, muting, program/scene selection, and fire safety muting. Compatible with CAT5 cabling and RJ-45 connectors for up to 1000 ft, the ZC-4 specifically offers program change via contact closures for the DriveRack 220i and 260, and manages source selection, page steering, or scene selection for ZonePRO devices.
The dbx CT2 cable testing unit simplifies the process of evaluating various audio cables, including Speaker Twist, XLR, Phono, BNC, DIN, TRS, TS, DMX, and Banana.
