510
Overview
Introduction
The 510 is a 500 series compliant subharmonic synthesiser that has been specifically optimized to enhance the low
frequencies in audio material. The 510 was designed for use in a variety of professional audio applications, including nightclub
and dance DJ mixing, theatre and film sound, music recording, sound design, live music performance, and broadcasting.
The 510’s patented Modeled Waveform Synthesis™ process builds a synthesized waveform using the wave shapes of the
original bass material, producing a new waveform modeled bass note exactly one octave below the bass in the original audio
signal. dbx subharmonic synthesis produces smooth, musical low frequencies that do not interfere with mid and high-band
information, even when the maximum amount of synthesis and boost are applied. The result is a low-end punch that people
really feel!
Using traditional EQ to enhance this extremely low frequency region doesn’t always provide desirable results and can increase
noise potential. Another problem is that the audio source may not have sufficient information in this low-end region to boost or
the mic used to capture the sound may not capture these extremely low frequencies.
The 510’s two independently adjustable bands of subharmonic synthesis (24 Hz–36 Hz and 36 Hz–56 Hz) provide the best
combination of smoothness and control. The SUBHARMONICS control adjusts the overall amount of effect applied to the
signal. The LF BOOST control can then be used to fill in the “gap” between the modeled waveform and the lower midrange of
the source, for a deep, smooth low-end response.
We hope the 510 serves as an indispensable creative tool for your sound processing and music production needs. Thank you
for choosing dbx.
