dbx <strong>10</strong>66 2-Channel Compressor/Limiter<br />
For advanced dynamics control, this flexible 2-channel compressor/limiter allows<br />
you to choose the level and style of compression/limiting you like. Want to<br />
instantly add that classic dbx response to your mix? It’s there at the touch of the<br />
‘Auto’ button. Or use the independent Attack and Release controls to tailor the<br />
<strong>10</strong>66 to your specific needs. Unwanted frequencies or mic bleed in the signal path?<br />
Frequency dependent gain control is a snap to set up and execute with the Side<br />
Chain External button (SC Ext). Use the Side Chain Monitor button (SC Mon) and<br />
your favorite EQ to dial in the specific frequencies you want to trigger the device.<br />
A contour switch allows entire mixes to be easily smoothed with soft compression<br />
while keeping low frequencies from punching holes in the overall mix. Selectable<br />
input and output metering allow you to make sure that everything is matched up<br />
level-wise. Balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS I/O.<br />

dbx <strong>10</strong>46 4-Channel Compressor<br />
The dbx <strong>10</strong>46 provides four channels of smooth dbx OverEasy or hard knee<br />
compression designed to meet the demands of everything from multitrack<br />
recorders to PA systems. Its PeakStopPlus function guards against oppressive<br />
peaks that can ruin valuable drivers in a sound reinforcement rig or studio<br />
monitors. All four channels feature balanced gold plated XLR and 1/4" I/O<br />
and switchable +4dBu or -<strong>10</strong>dBV operating levels to interface each individual<br />
channel with any other device.<br />

dbx 160A Compressor/Limiter<br />
Featuring switch-selectable OverEasy and Hard Knee compression curves along with<br />
extremely wide-ranging threshold, ratio and output controls, the dbx 160A is up to<br />
any task. True RMS level detection provides the most natural-sounding dynamics<br />
processing available, from subtle compression to "brick wall" peak limiting. Choose<br />
low ratios and OverEasy compression to transparently smooth out fluctuating vocal<br />
and instrumental levels. Or use the 160A's Hard Knee compression and high ratios<br />
(up to and beyond :1 and over 60 dB gain reduction) for bomb-proof protection<br />
against overload distortion in digital recording, P.A. systems and broadcast signals.<br />
The 160A is fully compatible with +4/-<strong>10</strong> dB and balanced/ unbalanced systems.<br />
The 19-segment, switchable input/ output LED metering can be easily calibrated<br />
to any operating level. 12-segment gain reduction LEDs provide precise analysis<br />
at a glance. The dbx 160A's unique "INFINITY +" inverse-compression mode<br />
actually decreases the audio output level below unity gain when the input exceeds<br />
threshold. A detector input can be used with an equalizer for de-essing sibilant<br />
vocals and selectively smoothing out boomy notes on acoustic guitar and bass.<br />

TC Electronic C400XL Dual Gate/Compressor<br />
The C400XL uses advanced TC Electronic multiband dynamics technology to<br />
compress any source - even de-essing and de-hiss is an option. Optimized and<br />
super-fast gate offers a click free and high precision gating of any source. Multiband<br />
compression and ultra fast gating give you superior sound quality. The C400XL<br />
adapts to any source, analog or digital for quick setup. Source-based compression,<br />
intuitive user interface and a mix knob for parallel compression makes for a fast,<br />
professional unit.<br />
The C400XL is equipped with high-resolution input, gain reduction metering and<br />
threshold LED indication. Choose between true dual mono for superior channel<br />
separation, stereo or serial operation. It also offers brickwall limiting for peak stop<br />
and hot levels prevention. C400XL channel transforms from multiband compressor<br />
to ultra fast gate and back at a flick of a switch and gate and compressor functions<br />
can be serial or parallel. And it's equipped with balanced Analog (XLR) and Digital<br />
AES/EBU (XLR) connectors.<br />

dbx 166XL/266XL 2-Channel Compressor/Limiters<br />
The 166XL stereo linkable compressor/limiter/expander/gate offers a choice<br />
of Over-Easy or hard-knee compression with two sets of program-dependent<br />
attack and release time constants. Most compressor provide less-than-musical<br />
compression, coupled with gating that swallows transients or closes early, cutting<br />
off decay and reverb tails. The superb engineering in the 166XL ensures that<br />
both its compression and gating provide sonic performance without undesirable<br />
artifacts. Balanced XLR and 1/4" I/O.<br />
The economical 266XL uses the dbx AutoDynamic attack and release circuitry to<br />
deliver true dbx compression for a wide range of applications, plus an advanced<br />
gate circuit to produce ultra-smooth release characteristics even with complex<br />
signals, such as voice or reverb decays, with an extra-wide threshold range and<br />
top gating performance for any application. It features a sidechain insert. Separate<br />
precision LED displays. Balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS I/O.<br />

Aphex Compellor 320D<br />
Intelligent Compressor/Limiter<br />
Not strictly a compressor or limiter, the Aphex Compellor 320D is an incredibly<br />
intelligent dual channel leveler. It automatically gives you dynamic control over<br />
your mix, letting you maintain optimum average levels at all times. Extremely easy<br />
to use, you only need to set the Drive level to generate the desired amount of<br />
processing, set the Process Balance control between Leveling and Compression and<br />
adjust the Output level for unity gain. The 320D is then ready to provide complete<br />
dynamic control – smooth, inaudible compression, increased system gain, desired<br />
program density and the freedom from constant “gain riding” – automatically! Its<br />
unique circuit design actually enhances transient qualities, thus making even heavy<br />
processing undetectable. If there’s a digital input, the output slaves to the same<br />
clock, up to 96 kHz. If there is no digital input (audio or clock), then the unit defaults<br />
to a pre-selected frequency.<br />
Features:<br />
• Dynamic silence gate eliminates “breathing”<br />
• Quick compression recovery<br />
• 3 modes of stereo/dual mono operation<br />
• Comprehensive metering<br />
• Balanced or unbalanced I/O via XLR connectors<br />
• AES3 digital input/output<br />
