Classic punchy stereo compressor limiter - with free XLR pigtails
Product Description
Classic DBX 2 channel stereo compressor/limiter from the 70s. Adjustable ratio, threshold, output. Great for tracking and stereo mix, etc. Rich tone. Great on drums, vocals, bass, kick, snare, across the 2 mix or stereo mix buss.
The dbx 160 is a Voltage Controlled Amplifier compressor that uses a transformerless, solid-state design that has endured for decades. The program-dependent compression, combined with multiple gain stage components, creates a sound that is uniquely its own.
The controls are simple: Threshold (with lights indicating above and below threshold value); Compression ratio from 1:1 to Infinity:1; Output Gain from -20 to +20 db attenuation; and three meter settings for input, output, and gain change.
Servicing of the dbx 160 VU
The dbx 160 VU compressor is a perennial favorite among recording engineers for its classic soft knee/smooth compression sound and ease of operation. First introduced in 1976, many of these units are still around, but due to their age they usually need some work done to make them sound their best.
