"Dbx did not achieve popularity in the consumer marketplace, as compressed recordings did not sound acceptable played back on non-dbx equipment; Dolby B won out instead, as its use of preemphasis gave far more acceptable results when played back on non-Dolby equipment."

Why didn't manufacturers presuade this by fitting dbX decoders on all new playbcak equipment?

[edit] Why won't it let me...

change every word "noise" into "nose?" Every time I do it the page reverts itself when I open it again. It's most annoying. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.188.114.240 (talk) 11:07, 8 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DBXlogo.jpg

Image:DBXlogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] dbx on vinyl

dbx was also used briefly on vinyl records ... and, in theory, gave them a dynamic range of up to 120db.

In practice ... dbx discs still did not achieve the full 90db range.

Is it 120dB or 90dB? 86.160.116.226 (talk) 10:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
