DBX 160 VU Compressor/Limiter pair

DBX 160 VU first came out in 1976 and the stereo version was quickly recognised by the audio engineering community as a good alternative to the LA-3A and the 1176 compressors.

This VCA compressor uses a transformerless solid-state design.
The face of the unit has threshold, ratio and output level control knobs, as well as the VU meter type selectors: input, output and gain reduction.

The attack and decay times are program-dependent. This compressor is known to work wonders on the drums and bass.

Serial No.: #7728; #7677
