The Product

The dbx 1046 is a four channel 1U rack mounting compressor/limiter/gate boasting the legendary dbx build quality and electronic circuit design. The 1046 provides four channels of smooth classic dbx OverEasy or hard knee compression and the newly developed PeakStopPlus limiter protects your system from agressive peaks which can so easily damage PA system drivers. Setup is further simplified with precision LED metering which gives realtime indication of audio input/output level and compression of each channel. A stereo link facility enables the user to link channels one and two, and channels three and four for two pairs of stereo dynamics control.

The Manufacturer

dbx was founded in 1971 by David Blackmer who started his career working in professional recording studios. He developed a new process called linear decibel companding, a process considered at the time to be many times more effective than Dolby in reducing tape noise. Although the company went on to develop a range of signal processing equipment for use in recording studios, it was always best known for its noise reduction designs. After several mergers and acquisitions dbx is now owned by Harman International and continues to develop and manufacture a wide range of signal processing equipment which represent a solid build quality, a musical sound quality and excellent value for money.
