dbx on vinyl
dbx was also used on vinyl records, from 1973 until around 1982, and over 1100 albums were released with dbx encoding, which were known as dbx discs. When employed on LPs, the dbx Type-II system reduced the audibility of dust and scratches, reducing them to tiny pops and clicks (if they were audible at all) and also completely eliminated record surface noise. dbx encoded LPs had, in theory, a dynamic range of up to 120db.[4] In addition, dbx LPs were produced from only the original master tapes, with no copies being used, and pressed only on heavy, virgin vinyl. Most were released in limited quantities with premium pricing. Until the CD format came along in 1982, dbx LPs were the quietest and highest fidelity mass-market audio format available to consumers.[citation needed]
In practice, dbx companders contain electronic noise below about -60db[citation needed] which is about halfway from the theoretical range. This meant that even with the best all-analog mastering, dbx discs still did not achieve the full 90db range.
