## Description

dbx Stereo Compressor Limiter Gate with select-able hard knee or OverEasy compression is ideal. The compressor section allows you to set attack and release times manually or automatically using our convenient Auto Mode. In addition, our famous Contour switch allows you to smoothly compress entire mixes while preventing low frequencies from punching holes in the overall mix. The compressor limiter gate section enables you to clean up unwanted frequencies or mic bleed using its frequency-dependent gain control and the side chain external button. With the Side chain monitor button and an equalizer, you can select which frequencies will trigger the gate. For overall speaker protection, our innovative PeakStopPlus technology prevents unwanted transients from blowing your drivers and minimizes the distortion common to many other "hard" limiters. Its features true differentially balanced gold-plated XLR and 1/4 inches inputs and outputs, true RMS level detection, precision metering of input level, output level and gain reduction, true stereo or dual mono operation, switchable +4dBu or -10dBV operation per channel.

## Features

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this compressor good for controlling sound level coming out of mixer...keep the volume even from song to song?**
A: If you mean in real time, yes. This is a lengthy topic on the how to of 'leveling out songs'... but yes, in a general sense if you have your compressor set correctly you can achieve this. Mind you, when you use a compressor for this purpose you will lose the dynamic quality of the musIc somewhat. Ie: you will 'squash' the music. The combination of your gain ratio and threshold will be the two ways to accomplish this.

**Q: Can i use this unit in music mastering ?**
A: You could use this as a stereo compressor to maximize the gain for any stereo tracks you may need to make louder. There are certainly better mastering compressors but this will get the job done.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I love this thing!
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on 29 October 2014*

I had the Presonus studio channel, it didn't quite do all I needed, and it added a tiny bit of audible noise. Gave that to a friend and got the DBX 1066. AMAZING unit! I do a live syndicated radio show (Freedom Feens), and my co-hosts are remote, in different states, and coming through to me via Skype (!). I run my mic through channel 1, and the hosts through Channel 2. Sound is beefy, clear, never distorted and without noise. This thing rocks the airwaves.The attached pic shows my settings for Channel 1, they're pretty much the same on channel 2.

    and I couldn't be happier!
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on 5 February 2016*

I tried a BBE MaxCom, and it was a flop. You could actually hear the LEDs switching on and off in the signal as a note decayed from my bass. Spent the extra cash for the DBX, and I couldn't be happier!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nice. Very nice.
  

*by I***T on Reviewed in the United States on 24 June 2017*

A big step up from the DBX 266xs. Works better, sounds better. Highly recommended if you can afford it.
