DBX 262 Project 1 Compressor/Limiter (1996) - Used

Type: Used
Condition: Very Good

1996 DBX 262 Project 1 Compressor/Limiter in very good condition. The DBX 262 was made in the USA. There is some scratching on the top and bottom of the unit.

Carrying on the classic design and construction techniques that have made dbx the standard for the pro audio industry, the 262 Compressor/Limiter uses the patented dbx VCA and RMS detector circuit to drive this outstanding processor.

But the 262 is more than just powerful, it's an absolute breeze to use. With dbx's OverEasy compression, you'll get natural sounding gain control while keeping those nasty peaks and unwanted transients from ruining your entire mix. Or use it to get that cool popping sound from your guitar or bass. Or put that vocal track or voice over center stage while maintaining the integrity of your music. Want to get more from your PA without having to add a new, expensive amp? Just add a 262.

OverEasy/Hard Knee Selection - allows selection between our famous OverEasy compression curve and the classic “Hard Knee” curve popularized by the original dbx 160, 161, and 162.

True RMS Level Detection - senses the power in the program in a musical manner, much as the ear does, giving results superior to peak or average detection.

True RMS Power Summing - When the two channels of the 262 are stereo coupled together, the RMS energy of the two signals is intelligently summed together in a way that prevents phase cancellation of the two signals which would normally cause unmusical compressor action.

Balanced 1/4” TRS Inputs and Outputs can be used with pro and semi-pro, balanced or unbalanced systems..

DC-Controlled Parameters - the signal does not pass through any of the front-panel controls. Instead, a DC voltage controls all functions; this eliminates any possibility of potentiometer noise developing over time.
