The dbx 215SV is a professional-grade dual-channel 15-band graphic equalizer designed for touring, studio, and installed audio applications. Leveraging dbx’s four-decade legacy of professional signal processing, the 215SV combines superior sonic performance with rugged, reliable construction suitable for the most demanding environments.

Each channel features 15 bands of 2/3-octave Constant Q equalization, allowing precise control over your audio. With switchable boost/cut ranges of ±6 or ±12 dB, ±12 dB input gain, and 20mm nonconductive sliders, the 215SV provides fast, intuitive adjustments for optimal tonal shaping.

Extended frequency response from below 10Hz to over 50kHz and a dynamic range exceeding 108 dB ensure transparent, professional sound. Front-panel bypass switches and 4-segment LED output meters allow for quick monitoring and signal comparison. XLR and TRS I/O connections guarantee compatibility with professional audio systems.

The 215SV’s robust design and quality components make it ideal for live sound reinforcement, touring rigs, and installed sound systems, delivering reliable, transparent equalization every time.
