In Stock
From the inventors of the compressor, this DBX 166XS Compressor/Limiter/Gate packs a lot of punch and dynamic control into your mixes whether in the studio or stage. Built and designed to be a tough workhorse to your set up, the DBX-166XS features Overeasy® compression technology providing smooth and musical performance while the AutoDynamic™ attack and release controls, found only on dbx compressors, puts great sound within easy reach. The DBX166xs can operate in stereo or dual-mono modes, has true RMS power summing and features quality XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs and Sid Chain insert. The program-adaptive expander/gates with new gate timing algorithms ensure the smoothest release characteristics, separate precision LED displays for gain reduction metering, compression threshold and gate threshold allow quick, accurate setup, bringing loads of punch to vocal, drums or an overall mix. The DBX166XS is one piece of hardware you must have in your rack set up. Oxygen Music stocks a great range of DBX products including the DBX166XS Compressor/Limiter/Gate.
