Introduction
We congratulate and thank you for your purchase of the dbx 290 Stereo
Reverb . The 290 is a true stereo, dedicated reverb processor designed
for the professional who needs high quality results without the chal­
lenges of complex programming. Whether used in the recording studio
or in live sound situations, world class reverbs are just a button press
away. The 290 also includes unheard of signal to noise specifications for
products in its price range along with a digital noise gate that pushes
unwanted noise even further out of the audio picture. Some of the 290's
features include:
• True stereo reverb processing
..
• Signal to noise ratio of greater than 90dB
(w/o
noise gate)
• 40kHz sampling rate , 18 bit DACs, full bandwidth response
• Balanced Stereo Inputs and Outputs
• Hundreds of professional quality reverb possibilities
• Receives MIDI program changes
Although the dbx 290 was designed to be the easiest reverb on the mar­
ket to use, we suggest that you read this operation manual to fully
understand the 290's power. We have kept the manual simple and easy
to read so that you can get back to work quickly.
We hope you enjoy your 290 and thanks again for purchasing a quality
dbx product.
