Product Description
Adjustable attack , release, ratio gain. Great on kick, snare, bass, vocals, etc.Features:
- Power switch (with LED indicator)
- Stereo coupler (with slave LED indicator). Each 165 is equipped with matched rms detectors for stereo-strapping operation without the signal-summing errors of conventional strapped compressors.
- Compression ratio: continuously variable, 1:1 - 20:1 and infinity
- Attack: continuously variable, 400 - 1 db/msec
- Release: continuously variable, 4k to 10 db/sec
- In manual mode, variable attack and release rates allow the 165A to be used as an ultra-fast or slower rms-detecting limiter.
- Auto attack/release (with LED indicator). In automatic mode, compressor attack and release times are determined by program material dynamics.
- Meter switching: input, output, gain change. Analog rms meter is switchable to read input or output levels or the amount of gain reduction over a 30dB range.
- System bypass
- Output gain: continuously variable, -20 to + 20dB
- Meter adjustment screw
- Separate detector input allows compression pre-emphasis and other effects.
- Active balanced input for hum and RF rejection.
- 24dBv input/output capability.
