The engineers at dbx® designed the Quantum II" to be the standard by
which all digital mastering processors are measured. With our patented Type
IV® Conversion System and TSE" Tape Saturation Emulation circuitry, the
Quantum II allows your signal to retain its analog warmth and character, while
delivering the sonic clarity that todays digital environments demand. Other
features include four-band Gating, Compression, and Limiting, or MS Gating,
Compression, and Limiting. A five-band Parametric EQ is available to change
the tonal character of the signal and the EQ can be placed either pre- or postdynamics
processing. The EQ can also be set up as a MS EQ allowing the user
to manipulate the character of the Center information (Left + Right) and the
Side information (Left + Right). The Quantum II is capable of dual mono or true
stereo operation with RMS Power Summing". Also available on the Quantum
II" is a Normalizer with flexible gain optimization, stereo adjust, and an output
Dither and Noise Shaping option which allows user assigned noise shaping
and output dither to 8, 16, 20 or 24 bits. The Quantum II features sample rate
conversion and low-jitter synchronized inputs and outputs that use dbxs proprietary
clock chips.
In addition to providing a bevy of state-of-the-art features and specifications,
the Quantum II allows you to control the aforementioned items via the
included PC GUI interface. This feature in turn allows you to keep your focus
on the project at hand, while keeping your hands off of the unit itself.
Whether you are working with DAT, DAW, or analog, the Quantum II provides
all the tools that you need to make the most of your mixes.
