Great sounding dynamics control for any type of program material is what you get with the dbx 166XL Compressor/Limiter/Gate. With "goof proof" operation, it enables you to smooth uneven levels, add sustain to guitars, fatten drums or tighten up mixes. The dbx 166XL provides two independent channels and can operate in dual mono or stereo modes. Each channel features dbx OverEasy® or hard knee compression, PeakStop™ limiting and a program-adaptive expander/gate with new gate timing algorithms to ensure smooth release.

Professionals and newcomers alike will find that the dbx 166XL Compressor/Limiter/Gate sets up rapidly and musically the first time it is used, especially with the Auto attack and release function. Inputs and outputs are balanced on XLR or 1/4" TRS connectors.
