Hiermit verkaufe ich mein DBX 286s + Behringer MDX2600 Composer Pro-XL 2 Kanal Expander/ Compressor/ Limiter/ Gate als Bundle da sich meine Interessen geändert haben.
Wer die Analoge Technik vervorzugt weiß wahrscheinlich schon was ich hier verkaufe und ich denke da gibt es dann nicht mehr viel zu sagen.
Es sind nur minimale quasi nicht sichtbare Kratzer drauf, er funktioniert wie am ersten Tag und ist auch noch in benutzung. Da ich nicht Raucher bin ist auch vom lästigen Geruch keine Spur und auch keinerlei vergilbung am Gerät zu sehen.
Da dies ein Privatverkauf ist drücke ich hiermit deutlich aus dass jedliche Grantie/ Gewährleistung/ Rücknahme ausgeschlossen ist.
This is a buyer’s market for used dynamics processors, and the €130 asking price for the DBX 286s in excellent condition is slightly ambitious but still fair. It sits just above the median of €122 and between the 25th percentile (€117) and 75th percentile (€126) from our recent EUR listings, meaning you’re paying a modest premium for the excellent condition rather than getting a bargain.
The DBX 286s remains a top-tier choice for vocal and studio processing, offering precise multi-band compression, de-essing, saturation, and a high-quality limiter in one unit. Its analog character and flexible routing make it a favorite among engineers who value tone alongside control. At €130, this clean, original-owner listing is a solid buying opportunity for anyone needing a reliable, all-in-one dynamics solution without the cost of new gear.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in 1971 in the United States by audio engineer David Blackmer, dbx emerged from his pioneering work in dynamic range processing. Blackmer, whose initials inspired the brand name, initially developed decibel expansion technology to enhance audio fidelity, aiming to capture the realism of live performances. The company's early innovations, including the dbx 202 "Boom Box" bass amplifier and the iconic dbx 160 compressor/limiter, quickly established it as a staple in professional studios and live racks during the 1970s and 1980s.
dbx specializes in professional audio signal processing equipment, with a legacy built on compressors, limiters, and noise reduction systems. Its lineup has expanded to include microphone preamps like the 286s, speaker management systems such as the DriveRack PA2, and modern rackmount processors in the CX and 500 Series. While it briefly ventured into consumer gear like speakers and amplifiers under BSR ownership in the late 1970s, dbx has steadfastly focused on pro-audio tools leveraging proprietary technologies like True RMS detection.
Now a division of Harman International (under Samsung), dbx holds a respected mid-tier position in the professional audio market, prized by engineers for reliable, workhorse dynamics control in broadcasting, live sound, and recording. Vintage models remain collector favorites, but current offerings compete effectively against digital rivals, blending heritage innovation with robust build quality for demanding applications.
