The 520 permits you for creating brilliant, crisp vocals without sibilance!

The dbx 520 examines the differences in dB between the high frequency and full-bandwidth portions of a signal with its modular 500 Series based design, permitting de-essing of signals which change in level by as much as 60dB. It is featuring a Frequency Control with range from 800Hz to 8 kHz, Gain Reduction Metering and a De-essing Amount Range from 0dB to 20dB.
