Product Description
dbx
Most compressor/gates provide less than musical compression, coupled with gating that swallows transients or 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.
Product Overview and Specifications
THE DBX 166XL - IT'S A CLASSIC

Visionary Design
When using the 166XL's 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 "leveling" to aggressive "peak" limiting. The 166XL's advanced gate circuitry uses a completely new, program-dependent timing algorithm to produce ultrasmooth release characteristics-even 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 V2(TM) VCA to design in an extra-wide threshold range and ensure top gating performance for each application.
