dbx 266XS
dbx 266XS
The dbx 266xs is a 2-channel compressor/gate designed for live sound rigs and project studios. Built around patented OverEasy® compression and AutoDynamic™ attack/release circuitry, this unit smooths uneven levels, adds sustain to guitars, and brings vocals forward in the mix.
\n- \n
- Stereo or dual-mono operation with True RMS Power Summing for accurate stereo imaging \n
- Program-adaptive expander/gate on each channel with attack under 100 µs \n
- Balanced XLR and 1/4\" TRS I/O plus a dedicated sidechain insert for frequency-dependent processing \n
- Users benefit from a 1U rack format weighing 2.19 kg, featuring backlit switches and dedicated LED meters for gain reduction, compression threshold, and gate threshold. \n
dbx 266xs Compressor/Gate — Dynamics Control for Live and Studio
\nThe dbx 266xs is a dual-channel compressor/gate that brings the company's dynamics-processing heritage into a single 1U rack unit. Adding it to a live rig or studio chain gives engineers tighter vocal levels, longer guitar sustain, and fuller drum sounds. This processor suits anyone who needs transparent, repeatable dynamics shaping on stage or in a control room.
\nWhat Sets This Compressor Apart
\nAt the heart of the unit is dbx's patented OverEasy® compression curve, switchable to a hard-knee response for more aggressive limiting. AutoDynamic™ attack and release are program-dependent, so the processor continuously adjusts its time constants to match the incoming audio. A sidechain insert on a 1/4\" TRS jack lets engineers key the gate or compressor to an external EQ.
\nCompressor Specifications
\nThe compressor section offers enough ratio headroom for gentle leveling and brick-wall limiting.
\n- \n
- Threshold Range: -40 dBu to +20 dBu — covers whisper-quiet sources up to line-level hot signals \n
- Ratio: 1:1 to Infinity:1 — from gentle leveling to true limiting \n
- Attack and release use Scalable program-dependent AutoDynamic™ circuitry that adapts to the source material \n
- Engineers can choose between OverEasy® or hard knee for the Slope parameter to get the exact compression response needed. \n
Expander/Gate Specifications
\nThe built-in expander/gate on each channel silences drum bleed, cleans unused channels, or tightens a vocal mic.
\n- \n
- Threshold Range: -60 dBu to +15 dBu \n
- Ratio: 1:1 to 4:1 \n
- Attack Time: <100 µs — fast enough to catch transients without click artifacts \n
- Release is program-dependent for natural-sounding decay \n
Connectivity and Build
\nThe hardware is built for studio and touring use, with balanced connections on every input and output and a 1U chassis that fits a standard 19\" rack.
\n- \n
- Inputs/Outputs: 1/4\" TRS and XLR (pin 2 hot), balanced \n
- Max Input/Output: >+22 dBu in / >+21 dBu out into 2 kΩ or greater \n
- Dynamic Range: >114 dB unweighted \n
- Frequency Response: 20 Hz–20 kHz, +0/-0.5 dB \n
- The 1U chassis measures 4.45 × 14.6 × 48.26 cm, weighing exactly 2.19 kg \n
