Dbx 266xl Compressor/Gate

The dbx 266XL is the affordable compression and gating solution with a world-class heritage.Most compressor/gates provide less than musical compression, coupled with gating that swallows transients-or closes early, cutting off decay and reverb tails. The superb engineering in the 266XL ensures that both its compression and gating provide versatility and excellent sonic performance in situations where other compressor/gates typically produce undesirable processing artifactsWhen using the 266XL's AutoDynamic Attack and Release controls, artists and engineers will find that the center settings deliver classic dbx compression, while the full control range produces voicings that extend from slowlevelingto aggressivepeaklim iting.The Auto Dynamic circuitry continuously adjusts the actual attack and release times to optimally match the program material. Since users aren't restricted to using the Attack and Release controls only inpeakoperation, they can tailor the response of the 266XL for individual tracks, mixed p

The 266XL’s advanced gate circuitry uses a completely new, program- dependent timing algorithm to produce ultra-smooth release characteristics— even with complex signals, such as voice or reverb decays. dbx engineers went on to take advantage of the wide dynamic range and high precision of the dbx® VCA to design in an extra-wide threshold range and ensure top gating performance for each application.
