The Silver Series 386 dual channel tube mic preamp puts the best of both worlds into 1 affordable package by combining the warmth of the irreplaceable vacuum tube with the proprietary dbx Type IV conversion system. The 386 boasts many of the same features as other products in the Silver Series, such as +48V phantom power, a phase invert switch, and low cut filtering; but also includes digital outputs in both AES/EBU, and S/PDIF formats.

The high impedance, 1/4 in. instrument input located on the front panel, as well as the mic/line switch, and 20 dB pad show dbx's dedication to providing convenience in the studio. The 12 segment LED meters provide a visual indication of analog or digital levels at a glance. The rear panel includes both mic and line inputs and outputs, word clock sync input and output, and digital outputs. Add selectable sampling rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, or 96 kHz; selectable dithering and noise shaping; and separate analog and digital output controls to this already impressive list of features, and we think you'll agree that the 386 lives up to the innovative dbx standards.

• About dbx
• More than 25 years ago, a brilliant young engineer named David Blackmer sat at his workbench trying to find something that would make music easier to record. What he came up with changed everything we knew about dynamics processing at the time. Enter the VCA. With the launch of the dbx 160, the music industry sat up and took notice of the new company with the 3 lower-case initials — dbx. Further refinements brought new processes and new products. The 165 a few years later would prove another turning point. The advent of OverEasy compression defined the process of threshold sensitive compression. Both the 160 and 165 are still greatly sought after standards that come along all too infrequently. The 160 is now worth many times its original price tag in the used market — if you can find one. The 165A has proved so popular that it is still manufactured today, exactly the same way it was 20 years ago; pretty rare in this industry.
• Today the tradition of excellence and ingenuity continues. In these pages you'll find the dbx world, one where no corners are cut, and excellence is sought after in every aspect of design, engineering, and manufacture. With the already popular 160S Stereo Compressor, the bar for creativity has been raised higher than ever. A dbx piece that is predictably robust to the ear, artful to the eye, and generously featured, the 160SL is a step above the rest — again. The next generation of dbx looks back to the roots of its birth as well as forward to a fearless venture into the rapidly expanding new world of digital processing.
