Description

DBX 266xs Compressor Gate

Dual Compressor Gate Two channels of classic dbx compression with the new standard dbx internal power supply and AutoDynamic™ Attack and Release controls, as well as an OverEasy® hardknee switch, program‐adaptive expander gates, balanced inputs and outputs, precision LED metering and sidechain insert, and +4 ‐10 operation switch on the rear panel. Front panel selection of true RMS Power Summing™, stereo or dual mono operation.

• Error proof operation to smooth uneven levels, add sustain to guitars, fatten drums or tighten up mixes
• New gate timing algorithms ensure the smoothest release characteristics
• Program-adaptive expander gates
• Great sounding dynamics control for any type of program material
• Separate precision LED displays for gain reduction, compression threshold and gate threshold allow quick, accurate setup
• Stereo or dual-mono operation
• Balanced inputs and outputs on 1 4 TRS and XLR connectors
• Side Chain insert
• Classic dbx® Auto mode
