dbx 1215 is a dual channel, 15 band 2/3 octave graphic equalizer giving you ISO frequency centers, ±12dB input gain range, and switchable 40Hz/18dB per octave low-cut filters. Other features of the 1215 include 45mm faders; selectable ±6dB or 15dB boost/cut range; XLR, barrier strip, and 1/4″ TRS connectors; balanced inputs and outputs for quiet operation; and chassis/signal ground lift capabilities for quick hum isolation.
