Detail 01
15 bands per channel
Fifteen sliders cover the full 20Hz–20kHz span, so each one moves a wide chunk of the spectrum at once.

dbx215s Dual-Channel 15-Band Graphic Equalizer
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Two channels of 15-band graphic EQ in one rack space. For tuning a small PA, monitor sends, or a fixed install on a budget.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Ringing out two wedge mixes from one rack space
- Small PA left/right tone shaping in a portable rack
- Fixed installs where nobody should touch fine detail
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Narrow feedback notching — sliders are too wide apart
- Anyone needing surgical room correction; step up to 31 bands
- Racks already tight on depth or with no rear access
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
±6dB / ±12dB range switch
Set ±6dB for everyday tone work and you get finer slider resolution; ±12dB is there when a room really fights you.
Detail 03
50Hz 12dB/octave low cut
Kills stage rumble and handling thump without spending sliders on it, so the low band stays free for tone.
Detail 04
1.75 inch H, 19 inch W
One rack space for two channels. Half the rack height of the 231s for the same channel count.
Detail 05
>+21dBu max input and output
Plenty of headroom for hot console outputs; it will not clip before your amp does.
Detail 06
100–240VAC, IEC connection
Runs anywhere in the world off a standard cable. No voltage switch to get wrong on a touring rack.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs a full rack space plus roughly 6 inches of clearance behind the panel
- 02Insert or output patching only — this is not a mixer channel strip
- 03Check whether your gear is XLR or 1/4 inch TRS before ordering cables
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I run two separate monitor mixes through it?
Yes. The two channels are independent, so one can handle a wedge mix and the other a second wedge or a main output.
02Is 15 bands enough to ring out a room?
For broad problem areas, yes. For pinpoint feedback frequencies the sliders are spaced too far apart — a 31-band gets closer to the exact spot.
03Does it work with unbalanced gear?
Yes. The inputs and outputs are impedance-balanced and accept unbalanced connections, with the same headroom either way.
04What is the EQ bypass button for?
It takes the graphic section out of the signal path so you can A/B your settings against flat, or leave signal passing if you want the EQ out.
