Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could simply record our various audio assets, drop them onto our time line, export to our preferred distribution medium and call it a day? Of course, we could do exactly that, but then our work wouldn't have that high degree of professionalism we constantly strive for. Now for that final, professional touch,we'll show you how to ensure that your audio is well balanced and free of both low end noise and high end distortion by using compressors, limiters and noise gates to sound its very best. Link both channels for stereo operation.At last, you've finished recording all the various components of your audio track and have them carefully assembled in your time line. (rear panel) Switches the nominal operating level between -10 dBV and +4 dBu simultaneoulsy for both input and output levels Relay automatically hard-wire bypasses unit at power-down and provides a power-on delay of 1.5 sec. Switches between monitoring input and output levels on the Input/Output Level meterĪctivates the direct input-to-output hard-wire relay bypass. Routes the sidechain signal to the output, interrupting the normal audioĪctivates the OverEasy compression functionĪctivates the frequency-dependent detector functionĪctivates automatic program-dependent attack and release times, disabling the manual Attack and Release controls Routes the external sidechain input signal to the detector State-of-the-technology VCA's, meticulous component selection, and scrupulous testing procedures are just a few more reasons that the new dbx 1066 is the latest in a long line of pedigreed dbx signal processors.Įlectronically balanced/unbalanced, RF filteredĠ.008% typical at +4 dBu (1 kHz unity gain), 0.08% typical at +20 dBu (1 kHz unity gain), < 0.1% any amount of compression up to 40 dB, 1 kHz The bottom line is this: a new VCA working in conjunction with world class design makes the dbx 1066 perform better than compressors selling for hundreds more. Developed especially for the 1066, 1046 and other 10 series products to come, this revolutionary VCA boasts superb dynamic range characteristics while maintaining very low distortion and almost immeasurable noise characteristics. The 1066 allows you to eliminate unwanted signals, flexibly control overall signal gain and guard your overall mix in dual mono or stereo operation.Īt the heart of the 1066 is our new dbx V2 VCA. system, the 1066 is designed for perfectly simple operation. In the studio, broadcast facility or on the road with a P.A. New lightpipe technology replaces standard LED's found on most other units, making the 1066 both very easy to read and much easier to operate. Selectable Hard-Knee or OverEasy® characteristics make the 1066 ideal for your gain control needs, whether you're looking for "heavy" almost-special-effects compression or soft, smooth gain leveling. With a new design, the PeakStopPlus represses those unwanted transients from blowing your drivers while minimizing the distortion common to many other "hard" limiters. Selectable input and output metering allow you to make sure that everything is matched up level-wise, maximizing your signal-to-noise ratio.įor overall speaker protection, our new PeakStopPlus™ does all previous circuits one better. As has become our standard, the contour switch allows entire mixes to be easily smoothed with soft compression while keeping low frequencies from punching holes in the overall mix. Use the Side Chain Monitor button (SC Mon) and your favorite EQ to dial in the specific frequencies you want to trigger the device. Unwanted frequencies or mic bleed in the signal path? Frequency dependent gain control is a snap to set up and execute with our Side Chain External button (SC Ext). Or use the independent Attack and Release controls to tailor the 1066 to your specific needs. Want to instantly add that classic dbx response to your mix? It's there at the touch of the "Auto" button. Now the fruits of their talents are available to you in the form of the 1066 Stereo Compressor/Limiter/Gate. Our engineers know audio like no one else in the world. After producing the world's most renown series of compressors, the task of producing a new compressor worthy of our reputation would be daunting for most engineers.
