dbx IEM In-Ear Personal Monitor System Processor

A digital signal processor designed specifically for in-ear personal monitor applications.

Designed to enhance the sonic quality of in-ear personal monitors and provide level protection, the dbx IEM in-ear personal monitor processor features legendary dbx effects like 4-band stereo compression with gating and limiting, PeakStop limiting, and 5-band parametric EQ, plus stereo adjust, dbx proprietary Type IV conversion system, and custom reverb algorithms using industry-standard Lexicon technology. The intuitive front panel provides instant access to all effects within the IEM at the push of a button, and a large custom display clearly shows all operational information.
