General

The secret of good sound is in the crossover. The DBX 223XS crossover ensures amazing performance. Low self-noise, great durability, and four decades of DBX's know-how and expertise! Thanks to DBX's experience, the 223XS is one of the world's greatest processors. The 223XS uses precision filters to split the audio signal, sending the right frequencies to the right speakers.

The 223XS does what you expect and then some

This crossover sends only specific frequencies to the speakers so that they can be used at top power, while being less prone to distortion and producing a clearer, better PA sound. The DBX 223XS is a two-channel crossover that is equipped with everything you can expect a professional product to be equipped with. For example, there are Linkwitz-Riley 24dB/octave filters and separate gain controls to adjust the levels.

Exceptional crossover functionality.

The DBX 223XS is equipped with a phase inversion for the output as well as a 40Hz low-cut filter. Optionally, you can combine the low frequencies in mono mode for a subwoofer. Everything about this crossover is incredibly well-made, from the rugged click controls to the high-quality XLR inputs and outputs.
