dbx 1066 COMPRESSOR/LIMITER/GATE Whether you are looking for heavy compression or subtle gain levelling, the dbx stereo compressor/limiter/gate with selectable hard knee or Over Easy compression, is ideal. The 1066 compressor section allows you to set attack and release times manually or automatically using dbx s convenient Auto Mode. In addition the dbx famous contour switch allows you to smoothly compress entire mixes while preventing low frequencies from punching holes in the overall mix. The 1066 gate section enables you to clean up unwanted frequencies or mic bleed using its frequency dependent gain control and the Side Chain External button (SC Ext). With the Side Chain Monitor Button (SC Mon) and an equaliser, you can select which frequencies will trigger the gate. For overall speaker protection the innovative PeakStopPlus technology prevents unwanted transients from blowing your drivers and minimises the distortion common to many other hard limiters.

Features:

• Selectable auto (classic dbx) or manual (variable Attack and Release) compression
• Contour switch removes unwanted low frequency information from detector circuit
• Selectable OverEasy or Hard Knee compression modes
• PeakStopPlus limiting for setting maximum allowable level with distortion
• SC Ext and SC Mon for setting up and monitoring external devices for gating function

• 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
