The dbx 166xs adds professional dynamic control to any live sound rig or studio, helping create a more polished, consistent sound. Compression smooths uneven levels, adds sustain to guitars, fattens up drums and brings vocals forward in a mix, while the built-in PeakStop limiter sets an absolute ceiling on peak excursions that could otherwise damage expensive amplifiers and speakers. As the latest in the world's most successful line of compressors from the inventors of the technology, the 166xs uses patented OverEasy compression for smooth, musical performance, together with AutoDynamic attack and release controls that adapt automatically to the program material. New gate timing algorithms ensure the smoothest release characteristics, and program-adaptive expander/gates handle complex signals gracefully. The unit operates in stereo or dual-mono modes with true RMS power summing for a rock-solid stereo image, and separate precision LED displays for gain reduction, compression threshold and gate threshold make setup quick and accurate. Balanced XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs and outputs plus a sidechain insert make integration into any system simple. A dependable choice for studios, bands and event rigs across Kenya.
