DBX 530 3-BAND FULLY PARAMETRIC EQ 2024 Review and Audio Tests
A 3-Band Fully Parametric EQ for under $300 usd...but is it Good?
I tested the dbx Pro 530 to see if it holds up and found it has a lot to offer. It's not for everyone, but it may be exactly what you're looking for...
This is not a sponsored video, I supplied the 530 for this review and I am not being compensated. As always, my opinions are my own.

============================================================
🔥 Do This First:
To get the most out of your recording or streaming space, I recommend sound treatment including acoustic absorption panels. This is the single biggest way to improve your audio before investing in other gear. You can make your own, or I highly recommend GIK Acoustics as they manufacture some of the best quality acoustic treatment available at an excellent value.
