More sound to your amps and speakers

The secret to making speakers sound great lies with the crossover you use. With the dbx 223s and 223xs Crossovers you’llget great performance, ultra low-noise, rugged reliability and four decades of dbx knowledge and expertise in buildingthe world’s finest processors. The 223 uses precision filters to separate the audio signal and direct the correct frequenciesto your loudspeaker drivers. By directing only the specific frequency bands to each speaker driver the 223 leaves youramplifiers free to use their full power on the usable signal eliminating distortion and giving your PA system a cleaner andbetter sound.

The dbx 223 is a dual channel crossover with all the features you would expect from a professional product. They featureLinkwitz-Riley 24dB per octave filters, independent output gain controls for level matching, output phase inversion, 40 Hzlow cut filter, and optional mono summing of the low frequency (subwoofer) output. Everything in the design exudes greatprecision from the solid "click" controls to the high quality ¼" TRS (223s) and XLR (223xs) inputs and outputs.
