dbx and XMC - need your input

[mepositive]

My dbx unit works with the XSP-1 given the Processor Loop inputs/outputs. I don't see this in the XMC - is there a way to connect the dbx unit to an XMC?

Thanks.

The XMC-1 doesn't have a true tape monitor/processor loop, like the XSP-1. Just curious why you'd want to use your dbx unit, as the XMC-1 has quite the robust P-EQ built in.

Is it a dbx II Model 128?

Thanks. Maybe I don't understand the options well enough and hence my situation - I have a number of dbx records which I am able to play via the dbx player only. Use the Processor Loop on the XSP for this.

I am thinking of moving to an XMC and hence wondering how to play my dbx records.

Yes Cory. I have a 128 and 224.

Cool....nice old units. And, what a blast from the past when you mentioned dbx discs!

If you move to an XMC-1, you may just need to keep the XSP-1 in the loop for playing those dbx discs. The XMC-1 does have a set of record out/in jacks, but I don't know if they work the same as the XSP-1's processor loop jacks. Someone from Emotiva should be able to comment on/confirm that.

If the OP has dbx-encoded music all the PEQ in the world will not help...  needs a processor loop w monitor capabilities to insert that processing. Recommend using the zone 2 out to simulate a tape monitor loop,  as described n a separate thread.
