DBMax II is a Level Maximizer and Audio Enhancement processor for use in digital transmission, linking, webcast and radio STL applications.

High resolution and high sample rate processing prevents unwanted distortion and listening fatigue from being generated, artifacts often associated with comparable processors.

The 5-band section in DBMax can be combined with Automatic Gain Control, Dynamic and Static Stereo Enhancement, Dynamic and Static Eq and other tools for maximizing audio impact and creating a signature sound. Balanced and unbalanced AES/EBU I/O is standard, and outputs are always active. Sample rate conversion can be invoked when using digital inputs. Analog I/O is standard and outputs are always active.

The 24 bit converters are scaled in the analog domain, with scaling under preset control, to minimize noise and maximize headroom under all operating conditions. DBMax can be remotely controlled using GPI or RS485 serial inputs.

Specs:

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