It offers selectable bell or shelf type filters on low and high frequency bands, along with adjustable Q settings for each band, allowing for precise sound customization in a compact design. ## Description The dbx 530 parametric EQ offers a unique degree of equalization flexibility in the popular 500 Series format. Based upon the classic dbx 905, the dbx 530 is an uncompromising equalizer offering true, fully parametric operation of all three filter bands! dbx has a much-heralded history with modular processors dating back to our 900 Series, and the dbx 530 continues that tradition. The dbx 530's overlapping bands each offer control of frequency bandwidth (Q) and up to 15dB of reciprocal cut or boost to provide exact, complimentary filter action for the most demanding of equalization needs. For problem situations requiring the removal of spurious signals, each of the bands can be independently switched into “infinite notch” mode without affecting the operation of others. In situations where a shelving equalizer will produce better results than a peaking one, the 530’s high and low bands can be independently switched from peaking to shelving operation. You can also make instant affect/bypassed comparisons using the 530's “on” switch. Load up your 500 Series rack with dbx 530 parametric EQs—and cut your way through mixes like an audio surgeon! Review: Great product! Using it in a professional grade studio! - I bought this to use at Audio Mix Pros Recording Studio in Phoenix, AZ. We were not sure if it was even worth buying but decided to give it a try. We couldn't be happier with this unit. I plan on buying a couple more now that I have had a few months to test this first one out. Review: Excellent seasoning for your lunchbox! - Versatile EQ with excellent control that I use mostly for cutting offensive frequencies during tracking. Mid priced, but solid, dbx is a name you can count on. I have several dbx products, they have excellent features and are useful, well built devices. Don't be fooled by the price. ## Features - Based on the classic dbx 905 - 3-Band parametric EQ - Selectable bell or shelf type filters on low and high frequency bands - Adjustable Q on each band ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #95,907 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #197 in Equalizers & Feedback Controllers | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 6 Reviews | ## Product Details - **Brand:** dbx - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 9 x 2 x 6.6 inches - **Item Weight:** 16 ounces - **Included Components:** Quick Start Guide - **Manufacturer:** DBX ## Images ![dbx 530 Compact, Professional Parametric EQ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QB9fxw2XL.jpg) ![dbx 530 Compact, Professional Parametric EQ - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516AGMg0KoL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this the model with knobs aligned vertically, as in the first picture or knobs staggered diagonally, as in the other pictures?** A: the knobs are staggered diagonally **Q: I have a dbx boom box vintage. Will this model replace mine?** A: Keep both **Q: Is this the same as built in to the 286S?** A: Yes and no. I have both and I prefer the 500 series. The difference is notable however. Circuitry is less complex than the 286s therefore the analog path is shorter and the engineering behind the 500 is tuned for a single purpose. **Q: Are these sturdy, good quality?** A: Yes, especially for the price point. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product!
