Routes the external sidechain input
signal to the detector
|
|
SC Mon:
|
Routes the sidechain signal to the output,
interrupting the normal audio
|
|
OverEasy®:
|
Activates the OverEasy compression function
|
|
Contour:
|
Activates the frequency-dependent detector
function
|
|
Auto:
|
Activates automatic program-dependent
attack and release times, disabling the manual Attack
and Release controls

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. Not for dbx®. Our
engineers know audio like no one else in the world. Now the
fruits of their talents are available to you in the form of
the 1066 Stereo Compressor/Limiter/Gate.
