dbx 166A 2-Channel Compressor/Limiter

For your kind consideration is this dbx 166A 2-channel compressor/limiter. It's in very good condition with minimal wear and rack rash. Has been tested and is full functional with no issues. An IEC power cable is included. Enjoy!

The 166A 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.

• Stereo or Dual Mono operation of gating, compression and peak limiting.
• OverEasy/Hard Knee Selection - allows selection between our famous OverEasy compression curve and the classic “Hard Knee” curve popularized by the original dox 160, 161, and 162.
• Expander/Gate Circuit - with variable release rime and +15dB maximum threshold.
• Compressor Mode switch - selects from two sets of program-dependent Attack and Release times to tailor response for individual instruments or mixed program material.
• Selectable Low Frequency Shelf (via Contour button) in the Sidechain Path - recommend when compressing mixed program material to prevent low frequency energy from punching “holes” in the sound.
• PeakStop Limiting - provides control of maximum peaks levels at the output of the 166A regardless of any other control. PeakStop comes after compression, gating and other circuitry including the output gain, so it lets an absolute limit to be put on the peak excursions before the reach the output.True RMS Level Detection - sense the power in the program in a musical manner, much as human hearing does giving results superior to peak or average detection.
• Hardwire System Bypass Buttons on both channels - allow the audio to pass even if the unit is unplugged, and are also useful for comparing processed and unprocessed signal.
• 10-Segment LED Display for GAIN REDUCTION (up to 30dB)
• Electronically bBalanced XLR and 1/4” TRS Input and Output Jacks
