DX 166XL Compressor/Limiter/Gate. Excellent condition
DX 166XL Compressor/Limiter/Gate. Excellent condition. Selling due to lack of use. Collection in Hull. Will deliver local for Ā£5 extra Most compressor/gates provide less than musical compression, coupled with gating that swallows transientsāor closes early, cutting off decay and reverb tails. The superb engineering in the 166XL ensures that both its compression and gating provide versatility and excellent sonic performance in situations where other compressor/gates typically produce undesirable processing artifacts. When using the 166XLās Attack and Release controls, artists and engineers will find that the center settings deliver classic dbx compression, while the full control range produces voicings that extend from slow ālevelingā to aggressive āpeakā limiting.The 166XLās advanced gate circuitry uses a completely new, program-dependent timing algorithm to produce ultra-smooth release characteristicsāeven with complex signals, such as voice or reverb decays. dbx engineers went on to take advantage of the wide dynamic range and high precision of the dbx V1 VCA to design in an extra-wide threshold range and ensure top gating performance for each application. Separate precision LED displays for gain reduction, compression threshold and gate threshold allow quick, accurate setup, while the 166XLās intuitive operation lets users easily smooth uneven levels, add sustain to guitars, squash drums or tighten up mixes. In Stereo couple mode, the Channel 1 controls become Master controls, and Channel 2 follows precisely to ensure a rock solid stereo imageāeven with high amounts of compression, through True RMS Power Summingā¢. Professionals and newcomers alike will find that the 166XL sets up rapidly and musically the first time it is used, especially with the Auto attack and release function. Advanced applications are now easy, with the 166XLās full sidechain functionality, and the ability to use either hard knee or OverEasyĀ® compression algorithms. Add to this already impressive list of features the venerable PeakStopā¢ limiter, and youāve got a strong finisher, every time. Recommended for: Portable, Tour, Studio.
