Since its inception the 160SL has become the mark for which other compressors reach. As the leader in VCA and compressor design and engineering, we at dbx are always seeking to improve our products and give you the best possible compression solutions.
With the newly improved 160SL, we introduce
the patent-pending AutoVelocity? technology. With AutoVelocity? it is now easier than ever to dial up the exact attack and release effect you are looking for, via the program-dependent, or non program dependent manual mode. Still on board is the venerable dbx Auto mode. Now you can set your maxi-mum preferred settings in manual mode, and let the 160SL do the rest for you, depending on your pro-gram material.
The same striking blue front panel machined from 1/4" aircraft aluminum, handcrafted solid aluminum knobs, LEDs mounted individually in machined stainless steel housings, custom VU meters with peak indicators, and heavy gauge chassis still mark the 160SL as the leader for decades to come. The 160SL combines the best features of all the great dbx compressors, past and present, and gives you more ver-satile performance than ever before. In addition to having the auto attack and release as well as the hard knee threshold characteristics of the classic dbx 160, the 160SL now offers AutoVelocity? manual mode, in addition to our classic OverEasy mode, made standard by the classic dbx 165A. And speak-ing of the 165A, all of its features, including variable attack and release controls, as well as dbx's lat-est limiting algorithm PeakStopPlus?, are included in the 160SL.
