Dbx 166xl Compressor/Limiter/Gate

The dbx 166XL provides two channels of noise gating, OverEasy or classic hard knee compression and PeakStop limiting to give complete control of signal dynamics to studios, sound reinforcement companies, musicians, or anyone who needs quality processing quickly and easily. We recommend that you take a moment and read through the manual as it provides information that will assist you in using your unit to its fullest potential.When using the 166XLs Attack and Release controls, artists and engineers will find that the center settings deliver classic dbx compression, while the full control range produces voicings that extend from slowlevelingto aggressivepeaklim iting.The 166XLs advanced gate circuitry uses a completely new, program- dependent timing algorithm to produce ultra-smooth release characteristicsev en with complex signals, such as voice or reverb decays. dbx engineers went on to take advantage of the wide dynamic range and high precision of the dbx V1 VCA to design in an extra-wide threshold range and en

When using the 166XL’s Attack and Release controls, artists and engineers will find that the center settings deliver classic dbx compression, while the full control range produces voicings that extend from slow “leveling” to aggressive “peak” limiting. The 166XL’s advanced gate circuitry uses a completely new, program- dependent timing algorithm to produce ultra-smooth release characteristics— even with complex signals, such as voice or reverb decays. dbx engineers went on to take advantage of the wide dynamic range and high precision of the dbx V2 VCA to design in an extra-wide threshold range and ensure top gating performance for each application.
