DBX-560a
DBX-560A 500 Series Compressor
Finally DBX has made a 500 series version of their classic DBX 160 VCA compressor with Overeasy at a significantly reduced price. This is the go to compressor for recording drums and guitars. The DBX160 has a super fast attack so it's great for slamming snare drums. It's also very simple to use with controls for threshold, ratio and output gain. It has a great 19 segment gain reduction LED for metering.
Type: 500 Series

DBX 560A PRODUCT FEATURES:
Featuring the same switch-selectable OverEasy® and Hard Knee compression curves as our industry-standard dbx 160A rackmount processor, the dbx 560A will be your new workhorse compressor! With extremely wide-ranging threshold, ratio and output controls and true RMS level detection providing the most natural-sounding dynamics processing available, the 560A will provide punch to drums, bass, vocals, almost anything! It’s also versatile enough to go from subtle compression to "brick wall" peak limiting. Choose low ratios and OverEasy compression to expertly smooth out fluctuating vocal and instrumental levels, or use the 560A's Hard Knee compression and high ratios for bombproof protection against overload distortion in digital recording, P.A. systems and broadcast signals.
The 560A's 19-segment, switchable Input/Output LEDs and 12-segment Gain Reduction LEDs provide precise analysis at a glance. And, the dbx 560A's unique "INFINITY +" inverse-compression mode actually decreases the audio output level below unity gain when the input exceeds threshold, a real lifesaver for correcting overbearing vocal choruses and controlling runaway mix levels.
