Compressor Limiters
1046 | 1066 | 160A | 166XL | 266XL | 160SL | 162SL

Features of the dbx 1046:
• Four independent channels of operation, stereo linkable in two pairs • PeakStopPlus™ limiting control for setting maximum allowable level regardless of compressor settings • Independent Threshold and Release controls • Switchable OverEasy® or Hard Knee compression • Classic dbx® compression • Differentially balanced gold-plated XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs • True RMS level detection • Precision metering of input level, output level, and gain reduction • Dual True stereo or quad mono operation • Switchable +4dBu or -10dBV operation per channel

Features of the dbx 1066:
• Selectable auto (classic dbx®) or manual (variable Attack and Release) compression • Contour switch removes unwanted low frequency information from detector circuit • Selectable Overeasy® or Hard Knee compression modes • PeakStopPlus™ limiting for setting maximum allowable level with minimal distortion • SC Ext and SC Mon for setting up and monitoring external devices for gating function • True differentially balanced gold-plated XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs • True RMS level detection • Precision metering of input level, output level, and gain reduction • True stereo or dual mono operation • Switchable +4dBu or -10dBV operation per channel

Features of the dbx 160A:
• OverEasy® or classic hard knee compression with dbx's® ultra-musical program dependent attack and release times • Compression ratio variable from 1:1 through infinity :1 to negative compression • Precision dual RMS LED display monitors input or output and gain reduction over a wide range and calibrates for different operating levels • Over 60dB of gain reduction available • Exclusive Infinity+ compression allows negative compression • Independent balanced and unbalanced outputs can drive 600 loads to +24dBm simultaneously. New floating balanced output stage drives any load • Optional output transformer capable • Strappable with another 160A for true RMS stereo summing operation

Features of the dbx 166XL:
• Goof proof operation to smooth uneven levels, add sustain to guitars, fatten drums or tighten up mixes • New gate timing algorithms ensure the smoothest release characteristics • Program-adaptive expander/gates • Great sounding dynamics control for any type of program material • Separate precision LED displays for gain reduction, compression threshold and gate threshold allow quick, accurate setup • Stereo or dual-mode operation • Balanced inputs and outputs on 1/4" TRS and XLR • Side Chain insert • Classic dbx® "Auto" mode
