dbx 116 xl manualProfessionals and newcomers alike will find that the 166XL sets up rapidly and musically the first time it is used, especially with the Auto attack and release function.Most do have example settings and an explanation of the different controls. For further information and example settings please see the Compression 101 White Paper. All products in the dbx S Series build upon 40 years of cutting-edge signal processing heritage. The new dbx S Series products feature a platinum front panel, and four color packaging with informative application suggestions for each product. The dbx 231s dual 31-band, 215s dual 15-band and 131s single 31-band graphic equalizers are designed for exceptional sound and rugged reliability, to meet the needs of the most demanding sound reinforcement and studio environments. The 231s, 215s and 131s all feature 4-segment LED ladder meters that provide ready indication of output levels, and their 20mm nonconductive sliders enable smooth, quiet operation. New gate timing algorithms ensure the smoothest release characteristics available. Both models utilize precision, industry-standard Linkwitz-Riley filters to separate the audio signal and direct the correct frequencies to the loudspeaker drivers, enabling a system's amplifiers to operate more efficiently with lower distortion. Learn more I thought they were decent but then I searched around in here. I found plenty on the 160 and 160x and everything BUT the 166xl.GS is to be taken with a pinch of salt.i'm so happy to be a new member.it's fascinating reading people's opinions throughout the world.it's interesting to speculate that we are witnessing a normalization of thought on a global scale.I'd snap it up for 140 bucks, even if you rarely use it. I've never used it on an acoustic drumkit, but it works nicely on electronic percussion.It's sort of stiff sounding, so for rock toms it does the job fairly well. The gates on the 166XL are ok, I use them occasionally.http://drkalantarian.com/dr-K/uploads/fantom-xa-user-manual.xml

I actually like the 166XL better than the 1066.Thinking of having Jim mod mine.There are so many other, better options out there. It gives all the side control options the 166 series lacks. They use the same RMS detectors and VCA's (which can be swapped out to that 2180 series). Jim Williams Audio Upgrades For that should be just fine. Lots of knobs to twist too. I don't think I have great demands though. After a brief dark period trying an Alesis 3630.:O. I've now had a new DBX 166XL for a few months but I don't feel I'm ever going to be happy with it. The main problem seems to be, on speech, you sometimes hear an unattractive 'click' at the start of a sentence. Does anybody else find what I've described and can't avoid it. Maybe I'm compressing 'too hard' and the 166XL can't handle it. Well, if that's the problem, that's a bit rubbish isn't it. But maybe less rubbish than the Alesis. Any thoughts or experiences. Anyone know a better unit that doesn't react as I've described, although probably one or two steps higher up the cost ladder. I want to be able to set the compressor and leave it, running a generic 'radio station type' mix of speech and music through it which come in at varying levels. What I want to achieve, is significant raising of low levels and compressing (near limiting) of high levels, so that the final listening level doesn't vary very much at all and everything is nicely audible. Keeping much dynamic range doesn't really matter to me. It seems a minefield buying one of these units. You can read reviews and opinions till you're blue in the face, only to then find your considered purchase doesn't really come up to the (fairly basic) mark. Thanks, LeeMy problem is that I find I can't avoid an unpleasant 'click' quite often at the start of a sentence. Not just on speech, though. It's hard to describe really, but you'd find it objectionable if you heard it. I'm just wondering if other users also find this issue and can't 'dial' it out.http://focusnepal.com/userfiles/fantom-xr-service-manual.xml Thanks, LeeTransients would produce a click at start of compression on transients, especially acoustic guitar. Even stock 166's do this. I suspect the xl is having the same problem. The fix was to place a 47 pf cap from the non inverting input pin of the 5534 opamp that follows the current to voltage opamp stage following the VCA to ground. Apparently a current shift would happen that needed to be damped, this fix did that without reducing the 100k hz bandwidth. My hot rodded to hell black 166 with ADA4898-1 opamps and that 2180 vca's works perfectly. It's a design flaw for sure. Even the dbx design team I talked to about this 13 years ago were unaware of it.

Jim Williams Audio Upgrades But that is a very very groovy fix!There surely must be one that doesn't cost, what, UK?500 or something. (I don't know off hand how that translates to dollars.) Thanks, LeeIt works like there's a little man inside pushing a fader up and down who's smarter and faster than I am. Jim Williams Audio UpgradesIt works like there's a little man inside pushing a fader up and down who's smarter and faster than I am. Jim Williams Audio Upgrades Thanks, LeeAlso, how do you mean 'fast' as compared to 'slow'. Does 'fast' mean capable of working well at any setting without unpleasant artifacts? LeeI can say it's freakin' bulletproof for sure. I find it to be a bit 'dark' on the recording end. I've tried it on the two buss and. uh,.no. Not terrible on vocals but I'd have to give it a 'lower end' rating for tracking. Live music?. maybe much better.Also, how do you mean 'fast' as compared to 'slow'. Does 'fast' mean capable of working well at any setting without unpleasant artifacts? Lee This is a great marketing feature Aphex missed out on. The dbx is not as fast as you might think. I find transients do get past this design. The Aphex is as fast or slow as you set it, the range is the widest I've ever seen. The attack is from 50 microseconds to 100 milliseconds. The release is from 40 milliseconds to 4 seconds, the length of an LA-2A. The auto detect stuff tends to work well for program material, mixes with high and low frequencies at the same time so the comp can adjust to it. I've never heard any artifacts with the Aphex comps, the THD is also the lowest at.002, compare to the 166 at.02, an order of magnitude higher. My choice: I have both. Jim Williams Audio UpgradesIf your gear is phase linear like all of mine (each piece has a 2 hz to 200k hz bandwidth to eliminate phase shift in the audio band) you will never need it. If you run through gear with roll-offs at 20 hz or so, it may help. The same circuit with a dual reverse log pot to tune the frequency is what the variable phase alignment tools are made from. The Aphex is set at 360 degrees, making the two tuning resistors variable would allow a 0 to 360 degree adjustment. Jim Williams Audio UpgradesThe darned clicking is continuing to annoy me and is likely to continue doing so. Does anyone know of any specific settings on the 166xl that avoids the problem, or maybe you know somebody in the UK who can do the mod Jim mentioned earlier. I've looked a little into the Aphex 651 Expressor but it appears to only really exist in the US. I was originally quite happy with how my Drawmer LX20 worked in general, and have only been trawling through other units since the control knobs became crackly on the LX20. Drawmer told me they no longer have spares for it. The LX20 however is generally quite 'basic' and does noticably 'swallow' on low frequencies, thereby affecting the overall compression much like some other units. However, it has loads of gain and really brings up low levels. Before the DBX and the Alesis I mentioned earlier, I also tried a Drawmer DL241, but I found it didn't significantly raise low levels during compression regardless of how I tried to set it. Presumably it doesn't have much gain in that area. LeeI did e mail the guy back. I told him. The unit is in full working order, but not fully functional. Glenn.Were you trying to say that the 1066 is not a very good unit?It looked new, but was probably B or even C stock for the paint blobs on the front panel. Technical specs are all fine and according to manual. Unfortunately it's all SMD parts throughout, so swapping opamps and VCA might be a real pain. However, I got curious about adding that extra 47 pf cap(s) (should be manageable for me with very sharp tip) if it isn't factor installed already. But I'm not really sure I fully understood where that cap goes. Yet, is there a more detailled description or maybe even a crude schematic of where to put the cap(s) exactly. That would be lovely. Cheers, ScriptReason: two 5532s !Has anyone done this. I'm a pretty comfortable with soldering etx. Could someone please provide detailed instructions or information on what to do. Jim, could you help on this one. Thanks very much.It's sort of stiff sounding, so for rock toms it does the job fairly well. The gates on the 166XL are ok, I use them occasionally. I actually like the 166XL better than the 1066.Thinking of having Jim mod mine. Anyone else with something productive to say? Thanks!A couple of hours later, he switched back to the DBX. Why? Because he'd worked the mix to that device and it sounded better--to both of us.Memorials, RIPs and Obituaries Grove Park, Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6 3LW.Hosted by Nimbus Hosting.

This last mode of operation is the most common application I use this in to reduce need of continuous adjusting of volume in daily listening. The controls aren't too fancy to make the unit easy to use and they're grouped appropriately, except for the sidechain enable button which is confusingly grouped with the gate adjustments. All the buttons light up when they're pressed. The gate and compressor indicators double as power indicators.When appropriately adjusted it's as if the compressor doesn't even exist in the signal chain while keeping the volume peaks in control. I don't use the sidechain insert much but it's good to have it to plug an EQ in it for increased de-essing when compressing speech. There are other uses for the sidechain insert as well but I haven't experimented with them, yet. The only drawback I can think of when using this in a small setup is the lack of a power switch as this unit is clearly intended to be installed in a rack with switched power distribution. Send report Total handling features sound quality Great all round compressor Patrick M, 24.02.2015 Pretty nifty product right here. For those that want a compressor, this is the best you'll get without heading into a price range several times this. On a hardware level it's sturdy and secure; everything adjusts as it should and it doesn't look bad either. Sound wise.if you aren't familiar with compressors you WILL need to spend some time working your way around it. But it does the job nicely. I use it for live applications so my bass amp isn't too 'flabby'; just a little bit of control and some boost, and while not a dramatic difference that difference is pretty useful. Less uncontrolled oomph, more kick-in-the-face output. My only concern is that attempts to control things even a little too much can make the sound quite flat very quickly (yes I know how compressors work before anyone goes there-some of the higher models can control the sound further without draining the soul of the bass). That said I use a pretty heavy sound, even for a bass, so more standard applications probably won't suffer the same issue so quickly. Send report Total handling features sound quality Its a DBX Pingpongunderpants, 18.03.2020 It’s a DBX does exactly what it is supposed to do, you’ll not find a better general compressor. Plus, it should last you a lifetime. It's a sturdy well built unit and gave me zero problems whatsoever. Would recommend this if you're looking for a 3-in-1 unit within this price range.

Thrilled with it so far!Of course the dbx 160 or 162 sound great but Hey. I can't afford them. What I can tell you is that Dbx scored with this piece of gear. I think it sounds a lot better than the Alesis 3630 or the Behringer mdx 2600.more natural maybe because of the dbx's overeasy function which is great for the beginner or if you are not very patient while tweaking threshold and ratio. Also the Auto function works out a very natural approach to attack and release. I use it for recording and I'm very happy with it. Dual Stereo allows you to compress your whole stereo bus for that final oomph to your mix. Overall very happy with this unit.Voice programming, not music. The fast acting limiter catches peaks that would overmodulate, while the slower compression function boosts the modulation index. Can see it on the 'scope. Hang time great, does not wheeze. Compatible levels for balanced lines. Hope they keep making this one for a while. I asked a vendor and the manufacturer to explain the difference between the discontinued XL and this, the XS. The panels are different, so there's the cosmetics.It has worked extremely well for me on vocals, mic'ed guitar amps and pre-amp'ed bass guitars. It is totally transparent providing it is set correctly. The only drawback is that the power switch is on the back, not in the front. I have it installed in an enclosed portable rack and getting to the power switch is next to impossible. So I took a star away for that. If you are not mounting this or if it will be in an open rack it won't be an issue for you.I had purchased another brand that was absolutely horrible. If you set the levels as you would with any high quality compressor, it will smooth out your sound and give you a very professional sound. I was very impressed especially after reading some of the not so accurate reviews on here. I am so happy I gave it a shot. Remember, its a DBX.We use it with our pastor's Shure. This is a high quality piece of equipment and produces excellent results. We use it with our pastor's Shure wireless headset. We're able to hear him when he's quiet for emphasis, and when he gets loud this pulls down the signal very smoothly and still allows us to retain dynamics with a proper ratio setting.I've been using DBX equipment since I founded my business in 1976 (after discovering it in another top-notch studio). The one thing you can be sure of DBX doesn't let you down!Wish we had purchased it years ago.It was annoying enough since it was being picked up on my mic recordings, but it was doing a good job of compressing, but then as 20 mins elapsed, it just continued to increase in volume. No amount of fiddling with dials, cables, or surfaces would solve the problem. It was completely apparent on my vocal recordings. It gets 2 stars, since my voice was sounding good, but I can't be working with this buzzing going on. Not only do I not want it in my recordings, it's borderline torture to hear. There's no switch either, so you'd have to unplug it to rid of the din. I have no option but to return it.Sorry, we failed to record your vote. Please try again This worked for a while but then the whole thing (both channels) seems to fail to compress anything now even when forcing through a 'hard' compression. I purchased this based on the favourable reviews but now, with all the hassle I've had, I really wish I hadn't bothered. Such a shame from a supposedly, key brand in the market.Sorry, we failed to record your vote. Please try again With a good make up gain it lose quality.

Please see pictures for details. What We Like: These are great noise gates. They work very well and are a great price for four excellent noise gates. These are pictures of the actual product you.A noise gate is an audio signal processing device that turns off or greatly attenuates a signal when the level falls below a user adjustable threshold; therefore when the signal level is below threshold. It will pass through the device greatly attenuated so that low-level hiss, noise, or leakage will not be heard. When the signal is above threshold, the noise gate will have no effect on the signal, and passes it through at unity gain. Looking for high-quality pro audio cables.
