dbx 376
Vacuum Tube Channel Strip with Preamp, EQ, Compressor, De-Esser, and Digital Outputs
The Cutting-edge of Channel Tube Design!
A tube channel strip with all essentials! The dbx 376 is an innovative approach to channel strip processors, coupling the latest in channel strip technology with the warm sound of a vacuum tube. What makes it so special? Beyond the quality features you'd expect from a professional channel strip processor - things like +48V phantom power, phase invert switch, selectable sampling rates, a large effect menu, and more — the dbx 376 also provides digital output capabilities on both AES/EBU and S/PDIF formats. Separate analog and digital controls are another highlight. An invaluable addition to your studio! dbx 376 Channel Strip Features at a Glance:- 200V tube plate voltage

The 376 vs. Eureka
by Jeff from Salt Lake City
December 5, 2008
Music Background: long time semi-pro and current student in the field
I have owned both a PreSonus and DBX 376 for several years. I use the 376 more because of it's simple design. It is very easy to dial in the sound desired. The LED indicators are also very easy and ... read more [+] useful. I don't have time for the evasive metering of the Eureka. I typically use this preamp for vocals, but I have also used it for guitar. The DBX is a great value in this price range for vocals. The sound tends to be warm rather than crisp. If you intend to use this preamp more for instruments, I might recommend the Eureka. Especially in a 'set it and forget it' situation. close [-]
Good Channel Strip, but Consider the Presonus Eureka
by Everett Griffiths from Los Angeles, CA
October 27, 2007
Music Background: Composer, Engineer
I looked carefully for a channel strip in the $500 price-range, and the dbx 376 and the Presonus Eureka were the two I came up with. They offer similar features: Preamp, EQ, Comp/Limiting. The dbx c ... read more [+]omes standard with a digital output; the Eureka offers this extra at a price. I recorded lots of good stuff with the 376, but head to head, I just liked the PreSonus more -- it had more of what I wanted to hear. Both units are little bit hard to steer with touchy knobs, but the Eureka was a bit easier to set, although on the Eureka I found it harder to catch clips (the dbx does offer easy to read LEDs instead of the old school VU meter) and the Eureka's knobs are pretty tiny and catch a bit of glare which makes them very difficult to read.
The dbx 376 is nothing to be ashamed of, but if you don't need the digital output, the Eureka is the better sounding unit in my opinion. close [-]
