1.1 Common Compressor Applications
s
The 266xs compressor is packed with just the right features to effectively reduce and control
the dynamic range of your audio, add punch to flabby, loose sounds, or add sustain to
instruments. The 266xs begins with the classic dbx compression made famous by our 160 line
of compressors. Just set the 266xs Attack and Release controls to 12:00 to get the same
response as those units. But there’s more. We scaled the program-dependent Attack and
Release controls with dbx’s AutoDynamic™ circuitry, so that the 266xs full range of controls
produce voicings that extend from slow leveling to aggressive peak limiting.

unwanted noise or other background sounds, tighten drum sounds, or change the
characteristic envelope of an instrument. The 266xs gate provides more flexibility than
traditional switch gates because it actually functions as a combination gate/expander. Where
