Description
The dbx 530 is a three-band, fully parametric equalizer in the 500 Series module format, based on the dbx 905. Each of the overlapping bands has its own frequency and bandwidth (Q) controls and up to 15 dB of reciprocal boost or cut.
Any band can switch to an infinite notch mode that removes a problem frequency without changing the other bands. The low and high bands also switch from peaking to shelving. The On switch gives an instant comparison between the equalized and bypassed signal, and the module fits one slot of a 500 Series compatible power frame.
