In this video I will show you how to remove background noise and create studio quality sound in realtime with the dbx286s.

My quest for the best audio recording setup has lead me to include the dbx286s microphone preamp and audio processor. At under $200 this thing provides 60db of gain (more than enough for my power hungry Shure SM7B microphone) and a host of processing controls that enable you to remove background noise (like computer fans and other humming/whirring environmental distractions) when I am not speaking. It also allows you to add compression, clarity, detail and deessing to your signal as well.

It might sound complicated but it's really not, and in this video I will take you through each process control and explain what it does.

I am super excited with the results of this inexpensive component as I have finally removed the background noise that has plagued my nontreated room. You can hear this for yourself in this video that features unprocessed audio.
