The key devices that started the ball rolling were the VCA and RMS detector circuits, and the reasons are straightforward. "It was started in 1971, literally in a garage, by David Blackmer and Zaki Abdun-nabi (he's from Baghdad). But I began by asking Scott how dbx first started.
Scott Berdell is the Director of the Professional Products Division at dbx in America and whilst attending the recent APRS exhibition in London, I managed to talk to him and discover more about the VCA chips in Solid State Logic mixing desks, the dbx approach to digital technology and even received an answer to the question, 'how many compressors have dbx sold?'. However, there's a lot more to dbx than meets the eye. When you ask someone who dbx are, they'll probably reply that it's an American company that makes noise reduction systems for tape machines, or that they remember using one of their compressors in the studio once! The name is familiar to many if not all of us.
