DBX goRack [18/31] Subharmonic synthesizer

PERFORMANCE PROCESSOR

Subharmonic Synthesizer

dbx subharmonic synthesis (or sub synth) processing has been specifically optimized to enhance the low frequencies in audio

material and was designed for use in a variety of professional audio applications, including nightclub and dance DJ mixing,

theatre and film sound, sound design, music recording, live music performance, and broadcasting. In certain applications, using

traditional EQ to enhance this extremely low frequency region typically does not provide desirable results and can increase

noise potential and stage rumble (low-frequency feedback) in live PA systems. Another problem is that the audio source may

not have sufficient low end in this region to boost or the mics used to capture the sound may not capture these extremely low

frequencies.

Subharmonic synthesis looks at frequencies around 100 Hz in the audio program and creates synthesized frequencies an

octave below, providing noise free low-end enhancement that people can really feel! Subharmonic synthesis is best suited for

sound systems utilizing subwoofers and in applications where deep low-end response is required.

Available Subharmonic Synth Parameter

SUBHARMONIC SYNTHESIS LEVEL [1 - 99]

Adjusts the amount of subharmonic synthesis effect added to the signal, with 1 being essentially no effect and 99 being the

maximum amount of effect.

To use the Subharmonic Synthesizer:

1. Press the SUB SYNTH button to enable the Sub Synth module (the

LED will light, indicating the processing module is enabled).
