All the features of the 786 but including the digital output card 704X.
786The 786 combines the best preamplifier features and an absolutely pristine audio path. In addition to having +48V phantom power as well as a phase reverse switch, the 786 also features a patent-pending EQ circuit called "spectrum" with frequency cut and boost up to 40kHz. An 11-position coarse gain switch sets the gain between +10 and +60dB, while the fine gain control varies between -3 and +3dB. Levels may be monitored on peak program VU meters with adjustable reference levels. The signal path consists of a transformer-coupled, discrete-design premium input stage utilizing the proprietary dbx M8? Mic Pre-Amp Module.
"Spectrum", a unique variable high-frequency equalization circuit employed in the mic pre-amp
enhances the high frequency spectral content of the signal while maintaining phase integrity. The
"Detail" control varies the amount of high frequency shelving boost at the frequency determined by the Spectrum control. The combination of the Spectrum and Detail controls allow pristine high frequency equalization adjustments without the added "hash" of traditional high-frequency EQ topologies. Premium active electronics, precision 0.1% and 1% metal film resistors, great sounding temperature stable polypropylene capacitors, high-reliability board-to-board connectors with gold-palladium nickel contacts, Jensen transformers, gold plated Neutrik XLRs, rare earth magnet relays with gold contacts in a hermetically sealed nitrogen environment, military grade glass epoxy circuit boards, to mention a few, contribute to the most technologically advanced preamplifier in the world.
FEATURES:• 130dB of Dynamic Range
• High-Drive output transformer circuit drives 1000 ft. of Belden cable at +30dBu with only .007% THD
• +48V Phantom Power, Phase Reverse, -20dB Input Pad
• Super Low-Z input switch for low impedance microphones or altering the microphone's sonic character
• Proprietary High Frequency EQ circuit with cut/boost to 40kHz
704XThe 704X is the first 96kHz digital output system that offers a 48 bit internal signal processing path, and up to 24 bit digital output in either AES/EBU or S/PDIF formats. The 704X brings the world of super high end digital conversion to the already top-of-the-heap dbx Blue Series processors. That means that now the 786 Precision Preamp has the ability to offer the industry's most pristine signal path in both analog AND digital. And the 160SL is now the most comprehensive analog compression
system with digital output now available.
Think about it, the warmth and smoothness of your analog signal, coupled with a digital system that offers the best performance in headroom management through custom dither algorithms and noise floor shaping. It really is the best of both worlds, and you owe it to yourself to hear how it sounds.
FEATURES:• Sample rates: 44.1 kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, or 96kHz
• Dither outputs to 16, 20, or 24 bits using TPDF or SNR2 algorithms
• 48 bit internal signal path
• Type IV A/D Conversion System
• Sync input/output
• 2 user-selectable noise shape algorithms
• Gold-plated Neutrik AES/EBU and S/PDIF connectors
• For use with dbx 160S, 160SL or 786
