Product is Tested and Working - NO Warranty
Next-Level Precision EQ with Built-In Limiter and Legendary DBX Performance
The Ex-Hire DBX 2231 is not just a dual 31-band graphic equalizer—it's a powerhouse of audio control, equipped with Type III® Noise Reduction and the game-changing PeakPlus™ Limiter, making it one of the most respected EQs in the industry for touring professionals, live sound engineers, and high-performance installs.
What makes this unit truly special is that one magical little button—DBX’s Type III® Noise Reduction. Engaged at the push of a switch, it increases your signal-to-noise ratio by up to 20dB, letting your EQ settings breathe with rich clarity and virtually zero unwanted hiss. Already a great-sounding EQ on its own, the 2231 becomes next-level with this feature engaged.
Then there’s the PeakPlus™ Limiter, a limiter designed specifically for the demands of live audio. With a threshold range of 0dBu to +24dBu, it easily tames anything from delicate acoustic passages to sudden transients from a full band, ensuring your system stays protected without losing punch or dynamics. Dual LED ladders show both output level and gain reduction, keeping you visually in control at all times.
Despite being ex-hire, this unit remains in excellent functional condition, battle-tested and ready to deliver exceptional performance in any rig.
