TM
®
With an EQ heritage that has produced countless industry standard patents and dates
back more than 30 years, the dbx iEQ-31 easily lives up to the dbx legacy of uncom-
promised sonic integrity. In addition to unsurpassed equalization specs, the iEQ-15 also
offers the built-in necessities which include AFS™ feedback Suppression, Type V™ noise
reduction and PeakStopPlus®limiting. Besides including two 15-band channels of 2/3-
octave equalization, the iEQ-15 also offers +12 dB input gain range; switchable +6 or +15
dB boost/cut range, 40mm faders, XLR, 1/4'' and Euroblock inputs and outputs, noncon-
ductive nylon sliders; and an intuitive user interface with comprehensive output and gain
reduction metering. As always, the inevitable result of our meticulous attention to detail
and top-quality componentry is exceptional sound, performance, and reliability.
The iEQ series represents a major step forward in the performance of EQs. The iEQ series
is now able to offer state-of-the-art digital EQ performance and specs with an analog look
and feel. From its amazing 10Hz to 22kHz frequency response, to its 113dB dynamic range
and Advanced Feedback Suppression (AFS™), dbx proprietary Type V™ noise reduction
and PeakStopPlus®limiting, the iEQ-15 offers out of this world specifications with a down-
to-earth price point. Sure to find a home in the studio, on tour and with installed sound
venues, the iEQ-15 is destined to take its rightful place in the lineage of great dbx®signal
processors that are the professional’s choice in signal processing. With such pristine design
and quality, the iEQ-15 offers the maximum sonic flexibility in a straight forward interface
and rock-solid construction. For more information please visit us at: www.dbxpro.com.
