If you’re a music lover or an audiophile (or both), you have probably noticed that much of the excitement of a live performance is missing in a recording or broadcast performance. The primary reason for this loss of excitement is that the dynamic range of the recorded or broadcast performance has been purposely restricted to fit the dynamic range limitations of the recording or broadcast mediums. The 3BX is a sophisticated, three band expander that can restore the dynamic range, and excitement, to a recording or radio broadcast, adding considerably to your listing enjoyment. By expanding dynamic range, the 3BX lowers the characteristic noise levels of a tape, phonograph record, of FM broadcast. It restores the “punch” of loud passages, and the whisper of quite ones. It can add new life to an old record collection, and make FM broadcasts worth listening to. 

A few scuffs and scratches throughout bit the wood grain is in great condition and the unit works great.
