dbx 166XS
The dbx 166xs is a two-channel compressor, limiter, and gate that gives direct control over the dynamics of your sound for a fuller, more expressive end result. Normalize and smooth shifts in volume and bring out the best parts of a performance with the easy to use interface. Each channel features an expander/gate, compressor, and limiter, providing comprehensive control over levels.
The 166xs features balanced XLR and TRS inputs and outputs and can be used for both stereo or dual mono operation. In addition, side chain inserts are available on TRS jacks for sidechaining the compressor, great for use with kick drums. Unique to dbx compressors is the AutoDynamic attack and release controls and Overeasy compression, which are musical and smooth, giving you great sounding compression that makes it easy to dial in perfect mixes. The PeakStop limiter adds a maximum level output control, making sure no sounds go above that and potentially damage your equipment.
For professional sounding results, the 166xs delivers incredible sounding compression that is silky smooth and easy to use.
