dbx 110 Subharmonic Synthesizer

The dbx 110 is an innovative device that enhances stereo systems by addressing the limitation of reproducing deep bass frequencies below 50 Hz. It samples low-frequency fundamentals, generates these signals an octave lower, and mixes them back in at controllable levels. This results in a rich, deep bass experience, similar to that of a live performance.

dbx 110 Subharmonic Synthesizer Details

The dbx 110 is a standout product that tackles a common frequency response issue in all stereo systems.

Currently, your system likely struggles to produce bass frequencies below 50 Hz, which is the limitation of most records, tapes, and FM signals. This means you miss out on the deepest bass notes, the kind you can both hear and feel. The dbx 110 fixes this problem.

Technically, the 110 works by sampling the low-frequency fundamentals of your music. It then passes these signals through while simultaneously reproducing them an entire octave lower. Both signals are mixed back in at relative levels that you control.

Musically, the dbx 110 is extraordinary. It recreates the natural subharmonics of the original sound, making your room vibrate with a depth of bass you’ve never experienced before – unless you’ve been at a live performance.
