Description: Since its introduction in the mid 1970's, the dbx 160 series hasbeen the world's most popular line of audio compressors. After the classic 160(which is still used daily in many world class studios), came the 165, the 160Xand the 160XT. The 160X/XT were the models that truly became the industrystandard. Solid construction, fool proof operation, great sound, at-a-glancemetering and a bulletproof output stage all contributed to its popularity withmusicians, recording studios, consultants and installers, and broadcast mediaproduction people alike.The dbx® 160A is a legendary dbx® 160 family ofcompressor/limiters. The same classic sound, easy set-up and no compromisemetering is now married to an improved signal path and stronger chassis design.The result is industry standard compressor/limiter which is digital-ready androad tough.Featuring switch-selectable OverEasy® and Hard Knee compressioncurves along with extremely wide-ranging threshold, ratio and output controls,the dbx 160A is up to any task. True RMS level detection provides the mostnatural-sounding dynamics processing available, from subtle compression to"brick wall" peak limiting. Choose low ratios and OverEasy®compression to transparently smooth out fluctuating vocal and instrumentallevels. Or use the 160A's Hard Knee compression and high ratios (up to andbeyond :1 and over 60dB gain reduction) for bombproof protection againstoverload distortion in digital recording, P.A. systems and broadcast signals.The 160A is fully compatible with +4/-10dB and balanced/ unbalanced systems,and its electronically balanced output stage is an outstanding line driver forlong cable runs (an output transformer is optional). The 19-segment, switchableinput/ output LED metering can be easily calibrated to any operating level.12-segment gain reduction LEDs provide precise analysis at a glance.The dbx® 160A'sunique "INFINITY +" inverse-compression mode actually decreases theaudio output level below unity gain when the input exceeds threshold, a reallifesaver for correcting overbearing vocal choruses and controlling runawayhouse mix levels. A detector input can be used with an equalizer for de-essingsibilant vocals and selectively smoothing out boomy notes on acoustic guitarand bass. And two 160As can be stereo-coupled to process an entire mix orinstruments mic'd in stereo, without shifting the left/right image. Its musicalsound, easy operation and unequaled versatility made the original dbx® 160 aworld standard. The 160A follows that tradition, while meeting the challengesof a digital world.ent in the mix, or overall characteristics of 4 independentsignals or control the gain leveling on a couple of stereo pairs, the dbx 160Ais for you
