Description: dbx 168A Studio Dynamics Processor - New Old Stock, Free Shipping The dbx Model 168A Studio Dynamics Processor is an integrated automatic gain control (AGC) device. The 168A has a versatile compressor that can smoothly and unobtrusively ride gain or assertively increase punch and density. The 168A also controls excessive sibilance levels and provides high and low frequency spectral enhancements as desired. The 168A achieves its outstandingly transparent audio performance by finally-tuned controlled circuitry that eliminate the dynamic distortions that are present in most conventional compressors and limiters, and through use of a quiet, low-distortion dbx VCA to ensure negligible static distortion and noise. Features Servo timed binary level detection scheme and hybrid feed forward feedback compressor control circuit compression to achieve outstandingly smooth low distortion. Release time is adjustable to optimize processing for single tracks or mixed program material.A defeatable "silence gate" prevents noise rush-up, holes, pumping and breathing by inhibiting sudden gain in creases once the signal level falls below a present threshold(during pause or low level Adjustable feed-foward De-Esser guards against excessive siblilance , tracking input levels to ensure consistent de-essing over an input level range of greater than 20 dB. High-Frequency Spectral Enhancement circuit is an "automatic equalizer" that adapts to the input program continuously analyzing it to estimate the amount of equalization needed at every moment. Low-Frequency Spectral Enhancement is a special fourth-order bass equalizer that permits substantial boost around 80Hz without creating muddy-muddy-sounding mid bass. Either stereo-tracking or independent two-channel operation is possible. Two LED meters per channel simultaneous display gain reduction and peak output levels. Balanced, floating inputs and outputs are EMI-suppressed; the 168A is compatible with the levels and impedance found in both professional and semi-professional applications. 30dB gain reduction range is achieved with industry-standard dbx VCAs. Hard-wire bypass switches allow the operator to preserve system continuity if the circuitry or AC power fails. This unit is new old stock and has been stored in our warehouse for 14+ years. It is in new condition and comes with a manual, power cord, and four mounting screws in its original packaging. We offer a 7 day guarantee. If the dbx168A does not work or quits within 7 days of receipt, we will repair or refund your money at our discretion. Free Shipping! (within the Continental United States only)
