Shipping from Puerto de la Duquesa, Spain.

The dbx 165 is an upgraded version of the venerable 160 VU, featuring the new Over Easy compression function. Great on kick, snare, bass, vocals, etc.

Features

• Power switch (with LED indicator)
• Stereo coupler (with slave LED indicator). Each 165 is equipped with matched rms detectors for stereo-strapping operation without the signal-summing errors of conventional strapped compressors.
• Compression ratio: continuously variable, 1:1 - 20:1 and infinity
• Attack: continuously variable, 400 - 1 db/msec
• Release: continuously variable, 4k to 10 db/sec
• In manual mode, variable attack and release rates allow the 165A to be used as an ultra-fast or slower rms-detecting limiter.
• Auto attack/release (with LED indicator). In automatic mode, compressor attack and release times are determined by program material dynamics. 
• Meter switching: input, output, gain change. Analog rms meter is switchable to read input or output levels or the amount of gain reduction over a 30dB range.
• System bypass
• Output gain: continuously variable, -20 to + 20dB
• Meter adjustment screw
• Separate detector input allows compression pre-emphasis and other effects.
• Active balanced input for hum and RF rejection.
• 24dBv input/output capability.
