## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this prevent clipping? My music has a lot of soft parts and parts where I'm shouting. Thanks!**
A: The only thing I use to prevent mic clip is mic staging and proper leveling in side what ever DAW your using. In other words sing lower parts louder by moving to the mic and loud parts lower by moving away from the mic. So the DBX is pretty good for the price but without proper mic staging could add to your problem.

**Q: My plan is to use a Microphone - into XLR - then into Channel 1 on my Focusrite 18i20.  How does someone use this as an 'INSERT"?  What is an INSERT?**
A: I'd imagine more or less you'll be doing this the same way I have mine set up. You run your XLR into the back input of the DBX 286s, then use a 1/4" audio out into your first channel preamp on your Focusrite interface. Currently Focusrite cannot get a signal with WDM (only ASIO gets a signal) if you try using the 1/4" audio out into the rear inputs. Only the front ones work until they address it with a patch.

**Q: Can someone direct me to a video showing me exactly how to use this? I use a focusrite scarlette solo audio interface**
A: Do a search for 'Best Settings and How To Connect - get started with the dbx 286s by Julian Krause' for the best video to set up this equipment.

**Q: If i set it up with an interface would i set it up like this? mic > pre amp > interface > monitors/headphones please explain proper setup**
A: John, you would plug MIC > DBX 286s > LINE INPUT of your interface.  Receive the line input signal in your DAW and adjust your settings as necessary on the CH strip. Your monitors would plug in to your interface as normal.  If you have further questions , please let us know!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great transparent crossover
*by W***S on June 27, 2021*

True DBX quality, and very useful in the studio! I have 2 near field full-range monitors and 2 subs (using as a stereo 2-way). This unit allows me to control where the full range and subs crossover, being able to adjust not only the frequency, but the levels as well make this unit versatile and very useful!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Transformed my system
*by 2***S on June 21, 2019*

I've been an audiophile for 30 years. About 15 years ago i integrated a sub, eventually a pair of subs, into my 2 channel system. I did this because a truly full-range high end speaker pair is extremely expensive. Typically starting at $15,000 and up from there. I have a $10,000 pair of speakers that compete with any speaker at any price down to about 32Hz. Below that they roll off quickly. The subs fill in the lower bass. For years I used a crossover to control the cut-off on the signal sent to the subs but allowed the main speakers to run full-range. I thought that anything inserted into the signal before the amp would degrade the sound so never considered a crossover like this. I also thought I had my system dialed in and was happy with the sound. I bought this dbx crossover just to play around with expecting I would either set it aside or return it. Instead, I have been blown away by the improvement in sound. I've detected no degradation of detail in the sound. I love this thing. A few months ago I installed this crossover between my preamp and amp and was amazed
