Send the right frequencies to each part of your PA with the dbx 234xs active crossover, designed for church sound teams, event crews and bands running separate speaker paths.
Position the crossover between your mixer and amplifiers or suitable powered speaker paths. It splits line-level audio into low, mid and high ranges according to your chosen operating mode.
Its Linkwitz-Riley 24 dB/octave filters give you defined crossover slopes, while stereo 2-way, stereo 3-way and mono 4-way modes let you plan a system around your speakers. Set crossover points according to your speakers' specifications.
For a worship service or live event in Kenya, low-cut, phase-invert and LF sum controls offer hands-on tuning options. Check the voltage label of the actual unit before powering it, since the specification lists different mains-voltage versions.
Key Features- Linkwitz-Riley 24 dB/octave crossover filters provide controlled transitions between frequency bands.
- Stereo 2-way mode separates left and right audio into low and high speaker paths.
- Stereo 3-way mode adds a mid-frequency path on each side for larger PA systems.
- Mono 4-way mode divides one signal into four bands for a multi-amplifier rig.
- XLR inputs and outputs connect to compatible professional line-level audio equipment.
- Adjustable crossover frequencies help match each band to the speakers it feeds.
- The 40 Hz low-cut filter helps reduce unwanted sub-bass content when engaged.
- Output phase-invert switches allow polarity adjustment during system alignment.
- The LF sum switch supports mono-summed low-frequency routing where needed.
- Front-panel indicators make operating mode and selected functions easier to check.

Q: How does the dbx 234xs differ from the 234s?
A: The 234xs uses XLR audio connectors, while the 234s uses 1/4-inch TRS connectors. Check your existing cables and equipment before ordering.
Q: Can the dbx 234xs be plugged directly into a Kenyan mains outlet?
A: The specifications list multiple voltage versions, including 230 VAC. Check the voltage marking on the exact unit and its power cable before plugging it in; do not assume every 234xs is the 230 V version.
Q: Can I get the dbx 234xs delivered in Nairobi today?
A: Same-day delivery within Nairobi CBD and major suburbs is available for orders placed before the daily cut-off. Contact Zamar Audio Solutions to confirm stock and lock in a delivery window. Countrywide delivery across Kenya is available, with lead times varying by location.
