DBX 160A Compressor Limiter

dbx 160A COMPRESSOR/LIMITER The 160A offers features such as OverEasy and hard knee compression, extremely wide threshold ranges and controls for ratio output gain. The 160A also includes true RMS level detection providing the most transparent dynamics processing available-from smooth subtle compression to brick-wall peak limiting, Its electronically balanced output stage is an outstanding driver for long cable runs (an output transformer is optional). With its unique INFINITY + inverse compression mode, the 160A actually decreases the audio output level below unity gain when the input exceeds threshold. You can even stereo-couple two 160As to process a stereo mix without shifting the left/right image.

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 output 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
• lndependent 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
