The Product

The dbx 166XL is a dual channel 1U rack mounting compressor/limiter/gate boasting the legendary dbx pedigree and engineering build quality. Simple set-up and operation is a principal trademark of dbx, such that smoothing out uneven levels, to sustaining guitars and fattening drum sounds, the 166XL controls remain intuitive and entirely accurate. Features include stereo or dual mono modes, side chain access and precision LED metering, ensuring all settings are achieved quickly and accurately.

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.
