Product information

Product no: 9000-0017-3162

General

The classic and authentic DBX-grade compression of the immensely popular DBX 160A has been repackaged for our modern age. The DBX 560A is a VCA based compressor built to shape bright audio. Its characteristically sharp response makes it perfect for refining drums and percussion while its insane level of flexibility is more than capable to enrich vocals, bass, guitar, and so on. From sweet and subtle compression, to solid 'brick wall limiting', it's all offered, while the lunchbox format can be mounted neatly in a 500 Series rack.

The DBX 560A: OverEasy Compression

The OverEasy compression technique originated with the DBX 166 compressors and has been included here. Simply activate the OverEasy mode for a lower ratio and a more subtle compression that immediately pulls life out of the audio signal, filling it with dynamics and making it feel less flat. Since subtle compression is sometimes not enough, the 560A can be set to push the signal mercilessly when needed. When the Hard-Knee function is switched on, the difference between the original and compressed signal is made abundantly clear, and if you also use a high-ratio, this unit transforms into a limiter, protecting your input signal from damaging high peaks.

DBX 560A compressor

Envoi nickel sans problème.
Le dbx560A est cun compresseur très éfficace que j'utilise sur les kicks et les snares de mes drums, et c'est très propre , on peut avoir une compression très rapide comme c'est un VCA.
Un classique à avoir dans sa lunchbox ;)

DBX 560A compressor

Heb deze aangeschaft om na preamps te zetten die geen output attenuator hebben (WA12, Langevin AM16, ...) en wat lichte compressie toe te voegen voor het signaal door een AD convertor geduwd wordt.

Voor de prijs is het zeer moeilijk minpunten te vinden...
- duidelijke led-uitlezing input / output en compressie
- VCA gebaseerd op de classic dbx 160 (altijd leuk een extra "kleur" te hebben naast een FET of Optische comp)
- kwalitatieve bouw
