DBX 223 Stereo 2-Way/Mono 3-Way Crossover

The DBX 223 Stereo 2-Way/Mono 3-Way Crossover looks great and is extremely well built. Also the controls exude great precision, and the feel is a solid click. The DBX 223 Crossover has a high quality power supply built right in the unit. 

DBX 223 Stereo 2-Way/Mono 3-Way Crossover Features:
  • TRS differentially balanced ins and outs
  • Mode switch for stereo 2-way or mono 3-way operation
  • Low frequency summed (subwoofer) output
  • x10 range switch on both channels
  • 40 Hz high pass (low cut) filter both channels
  • Phase reverse switch on all outputs
  • Individual level controls on all outputs
  • 24 dB per octave Linkwitz-Riley filters (the professional standard)
  • Stereo/Mono status LEDs indicate the selected mode
  • dbx 2 year parts and labor as standard
  • CSA NRTL/C approved
  • CE compliant
All the inputs and outputs are TRS differentially balanced 1/4 inch jacks that are bolted down to the chassis. This nutting down of the jacks insures that even if someone stomps on a cable plugged into the unit, it's not going to tear up the circuit board inside. The DBX 223 Crossover features Linkwitz-Riley 24 dB per octave filters, the professional standard.

Via a switch on the back panel, you first select whether you're operating your system in stereo 2-way or mono 3-way. Then you also set, on the back panel, whether or not you want to mono sum the LF (subwoofer) out. Back panel switches allow you to select the range of the crossover frequencies individually for both channels. The crossover frequency controls have a green LED that indicates when the x10 switch on the back panel is activated. 

On the front panel you'll notice there are LEDs that indicate whether the unit is in mono or stereo mode. Each channel has an input gain control for proper level setting. There's a recessed 40 Hz low cut (HPF) on each channel to remove unwanted low frequencies. Both the low and high outputs on each channel have a gain control ranging from - to +6 dB to allow muting of individual outputs and for level matching. Also, these outputs each have phase reverse switches that will help get you out of a bind without having to reconfigure your system. These phase reverse switches on the DBX 223 Crossover, may be internally reconfigured as mute switches.
