The dbx 676 Tube Microphone Preamp Channel Strip represents all of the best of dbx’s more than 40 years of dynamics processing.  Consisting of a microphone preamp, a 3-band parametric EQ, and an independently accessible compressor based on dbx 162SL, the 676 offers a pristine high-voltage, Class-A tube preamp section that runs on 250 volts.  In other words, it doesn't matter if your track is calling for a clean, polished, well defined signal or a menacing intimidation of grime and smut, the 676 preamp has got you covered.  Its 3-band parametric EQ features sweepable mids, and a front-panel instrument input allows the unit to be used as a DI.  Also incorporated is the compressor/limiter design from the highly-sought after dbx162SL,  The 676 is the perfect channel strip for recording and live applications alike with its military-grade build, vintage-inspired controls and VU metering.
