{"product_id":"266xs","title":"dbx 266XS Dual Compressor\/Expander\/Gate with XLR Connectors","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe dbx 266XS is a two-channel compressor, expander and gate designed to bring predictable dynamic control to live rigs, studios and installed systems. It smooths uneven levels, adds sustain to guitars, fattens drums and tightens full mixes, making it a practical tool for engineers, installers and musicians who need consistent results without lengthy setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach channel offers full manual control alongside the classic dbx \u003cstrong\u003eAuto\u003c\/strong\u003e mode, which sets attack and release times relative to programme material for transparent gain reduction. Revised gate timing algorithms deliver smooth release characteristics, while the program-adaptive expander\/gate section tracks the signal rather than working to fixed times. Balanced inputs and outputs on both XLR and 1\/4-inch TRS suit patching into consoles, racks and outboard chains, and a side chain insert per channel enables frequency-conscious compression such as de-essing or ducking. The rack-mount steel chassis is built for permanent installation or repeated transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo channels with stereo or dual-mono operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgram-adaptive expander\/gate with updated timing algorithms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate precision LED displays for gain reduction, compression threshold and gate threshold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced XLR and 1\/4-inch TRS inputs and outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide chain insert for de-essing, ducking and frequency-dependent compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell suited to live events, touring, houses of worship, theatre, education, studio and rehearsal applications, as well as fixed installation work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"dbx","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58425350095151,"sku":"266XS","price":516.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/2210\/2319\/files\/266XS-1.jpg?v=1788469167","url":"https:\/\/audioconnect.co.nz\/products\/266xs","provider":"Audio Connect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
