Key Features
Product Ref: 329226
The dbx 266xs features patented Overeasy compression technology, designed to deliver seamless dynamic control without sounding harsh or artificial. Whether you're tightening up a vocal performance, adding sustain to a guitar, or giving your drums extra punch, the 266xs ensures smooth transitions and musical compression.
Its program-adaptive attack and release settings take the guesswork out of fine-tuning, making it easier to get consistent, polished results. This means your mix stays balanced, clear, and controlled with minimal effort.
The 266xs offers both stereo and dual-mono operation, making it adaptable for various applications. Whether you need independent compression on two separate sources or linked stereo processing for a mix, this unit has you covered.
With balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS connections, integrating the 266xs into your existing rig is simple. It's designed for reliability and ease of use, whether in a studio rack or part of a live sound setup.
dbx’s exclusive AutoDynamic™ attack and release controls make it easy to achieve a professional sound. By automatically adjusting response times based on the incoming signal, the 266xs delivers consistent compression across different types of audio sources.
This feature ensures that fast transients remain punchy while sustained notes are controlled smoothly, giving you a balanced mix without the need for constant manual adjustments.
With dedicated LED meters for gain reduction, compression threshold, and gate threshold, the 266xs provides instant visual feedback on your settings. These displays make it quick and easy to dial in the perfect amount of compression and gating.
Backlit switches further enhance usability, ensuring you can make precise adjustments even in low-light environments. Whether on stage or in the studio, you’ll always have a clear view of your dynamics processing.
