    I waited a long time for it to finally be available worldwide again. For the past 5 months, the product was not available anywhere.

    So it arrived and I ordered it immediately. The setup is with an Audio Technica PB40 and a Yamaha mixer, the MG10XU.

    The combination of these purchases is unique for a user who wants to have the ultimate from a professional microphone.

    Specifically, the DBX 286s gives you the ability to pre-amp, compress, de-ess, expand/gate, and finally adjust the output gain if needed, which I usually have at -10dB.

    The DBX 286s is capable of comfortably driving the Audio Technica PB40 with the gain set at +45dB, maybe even less (the gain can be adjusted up to +60dB), so the white noise is significantly reduced, as I don't need to adjust the gain on the MG10XU mixer controller at all. I also hear many people who have a problem with the USB output volume from the MG10XU. I had it too, and the DBX 286s solved my problem.

    For the compressor, I have the Drive set at 3 and the Density at 3.5.
    For the De-Esser, the frequency is set at 4K and the threshold at 3.5.
    I haven't adjusted the enhancer for now.
    For the Expander/Gate, the threshold is a small line below -30dB, while the ratio is set at 2:1.
    Output: -10dB.

    All the above characteristics are for the PB40, as well as how I have set up my mini studio without any special treatment.
