dbx Pro Visionary Design 704x User Manual
dbx Pro Receivers and Amplifiers
The 704X is the first 96kHz digital output system that offers a 48 bit inter-
nal signal processing path, and up to 24 bit digital output in either
AES/EBU or S/PDIF formats. The 704X brings the world of super high-
end digital conversion to the already top-of-the-heap dbx Blue Series
processors. That means that now the 786 Precision Preamp has the ability
to offer the industry’s most pristine signal path in both analog AND digi-
tal. And the 160SL is now the most comprehensive analog compression
system with digital output now available.
The 704X uses the patent-pending TYPE IV™ Conversion System to con-
vert your analog signals to digital in a way that preserves the analog
warmth, yet gives the clarity and precision offered by the digital domain.
Think about it, the warmth and smoothness of your analog signal, coupled
with a digital system that offers the best performance in headroom man-
agement through custom dither algorithms and noise floor shaping. It real-
ly is the best of both worlds, and you owe it to yourself to hear how it
sounds.
• Sample rates at 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, or 96kHz
• Dither outputs to 16, 20, or 24 bits using TPDF or SNR2 algorithms
• 48 bit internal signal path for increased headroom and low level resolution
• TYPE IV™ A/D Conversion System
• Sync input/output using dbx’s own proprietary clock chips for extremely low jitter sync
• Two user selectable noise shape algorithms for lower perceived noise floor
• AES/EBU format is available on a gold plated Neutrik XLR or S/PDIF format is available on a gold
plated RCA coaxial connector
• Can be installed in a dbx 160S Compressor, dbx 160SL Compressor, or a dbx 786 Precision Preamplifier
