Description:
|
The dbx® 160A is a legendary dbx® 160 family of compressor/limiters. The same classic sound, easy set-up and no compromise metering is now married to an improved signal path and stronger chassis design. The result is industry standard compressor/limiter which is digital-ready and road tough.
Features
-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 putput 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

Incredible unit. Does exactly what I wanted it to do: lets my playing come out loud and clear without affecting my tone at all! I hardly even notice it's there, except that everything sounds better. And, it looks beautiful in my rack

What can I say... this is how a compressor should work. No side effects to your sound. Even if you largely compress your signal, it still sounds great.
