dbx 1066 2-Channel Compressor/Limiter

For advanced dynamics control, this flexible 2-channel compressor/limiter allows

you to choose the level and style of compression/limiting you like. Want to

instantly add that classic dbx response to your mix? It’s there at the touch of the

‘Auto’ button. Or use the independent Attack and Release controls to tailor the

1066 to your specific needs. Unwanted frequencies or mic bleed in the signal path?

Frequency dependent gain control is a snap to set up and execute with the Side

Chain External button (SC Ext). Use the Side Chain Monitor button (SC Mon) and

your favorite EQ to dial in the specific frequencies you want to trigger the device.

A contour switch allows entire mixes to be easily smoothed with soft compression

while keeping low frequencies from punching holes in the overall mix. Selectable

input and output metering allow you to make sure that everything is matched up

level-wise. Balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS I/O.

dbx 166XL/266XL 2-Channel Compressor/Limiters

The 166XL stereo linkable compressor/limiter/expander/gate offers a choice

of Over-Easy or hard-knee compression with two sets of program-dependent

attack and release time constants. Most compressor provide less-than-musical

compression, coupled with gating that swallows transients or closes early, cutting

off decay and reverb tails. The superb engineering in the 166XL ensures that

both its compression and gating provide sonic performance without undesirable

artifacts. Balanced XLR and 1/4" I/O.

The economical 266XL uses the dbx AutoDynamic attack and release circuitry to

deliver true dbx compression for a wide range of applications, plus an advanced

gate circuit to produce ultra-smooth release characteristics even with complex

signals, such as voice or reverb decays, with an extra-wide threshold range and

top gating performance for any application. It features a sidechain insert. Separate

precision LED displays. Balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS I/O.

dbx 1046 4-Channel Compressor

The dbx 1046 provides four channels of smooth dbx OverEasy or hard knee

compression designed to meet the demands of everything from multitrack

recorders to PA systems. Its PeakStopPlus function guards against oppressive

peaks that can ruin valuable drivers in a sound reinforcement rig or studio

monitors. All four channels feature balanced gold plated XLR and 1/4" I/O

and switchable +4dBu or -10dBV operating levels to interface each individual

channel with any other device.

dbx 160A Compressor/Limiter

Featuring switch-selectable OverEasy and Hard Knee compression curves along with

extremely wide-ranging threshold, ratio and output controls, the dbx 160A is up to

any task. True RMS level detection provides the most natural-sounding dynamics

processing available, from subtle compression to "brick wall" peak limiting. Choose

low ratios and OverEasy compression to transparently smooth out fluctuating vocal

and instrumental levels. Or use the 160A's Hard Knee compression and high ratios

(up to and beyond :1 and over 60 dB gain reduction) for bomb-proof protection

against overload distortion in digital recording, P.A. systems and broadcast signals.

The 160A is fully compatible with +4/-10 dB and balanced/ unbalanced systems.

The 19-segment, switchable input/ output LED metering can be easily calibrated

to any operating level. 12-segment gain reduction LEDs provide precise analysis

at a glance. The dbx 160A's unique "INFINITY +" inverse-compression mode

actually decreases the audio output level below unity gain when the input exceeds

threshold. A detector input can be used with an equalizer for de-essing sibilant

vocals and selectively smoothing out boomy notes on acoustic guitar and bass.

TC Electronic C400XL Dual Gate/Compressor

The C400XL uses advanced TC Electronic multiband dynamics technology to

compress any source - even de-essing and de-hiss is an option. Optimized and

super-fast gate offers a click free and high precision gating of any source. Multiband

compression and ultra fast gating give you superior sound quality. The C400XL

adapts to any source, analog or digital for quick setup. Source-based compression,

intuitive user interface and a mix knob for parallel compression makes for a fast,

professional unit.

The C400XL is equipped with high-resolution input, gain reduction metering and

threshold LED indication. Choose between true dual mono for superior channel

separation, stereo or serial operation. It also offers brickwall limiting for peak stop

and hot levels prevention. C400XL channel transforms from multiband compressor

to ultra fast gate and back at a flick of a switch and gate and compressor functions

can be serial or parallel. And it's equipped with balanced Analog (XLR) and Digital

AES/EBU (XLR) connectors.

Aphex Compellor 320D

Intelligent Compressor/Limiter

Not strictly a compressor or limiter, the Aphex Compellor 320D is an incredibly

intelligent dual channel leveler. It automatically gives you dynamic control over

your mix, letting you maintain optimum average levels at all times. Extremely easy

to use, you only need to set the Drive level to generate the desired amount of

processing, set the Process Balance control between Leveling and Compression and

adjust the Output level for unity gain. The 320D is then ready to provide complete

dynamic control – smooth, inaudible compression, increased system gain, desired

program density and the freedom from constant “gain riding” – automatically! Its

unique circuit design actually enhances transient qualities, thus making even heavy

processing undetectable. If there’s a digital input, the output slaves to the same

clock, up to 96 kHz. If there is no digital input (audio or clock), then the unit defaults

to a pre-selected frequency.

FEATURES:

• Dynamic silence gate eliminates “breathing”

• Quick compression recovery

• 3 modes of stereo/dual mono operation

• Comprehensive metering

• Balanced or unbalanced I/O via XLR connectors

• AES3 digital input/output
