Classic dbx over-easy compression. Stereo version of the legendary 160A. For natural sounding, subtle program dependant dynamic control. With separate brick wall peak limiter and expander gate.
Features: expander gate with switchable fast or slow release.
Variable threshold and compression ratio controls.
Gain reduction LED meter, peak stop level control and output gain.
Switchable dual mono or stereo operation, sidechain monitor and bypass.
Connections: balanced TRS jack inputs. TRS jack outputs. TS jack sidechain inputs.
Suitable for vocal compression, instruments, system control and peak limiting
