In today's recording and sound reinforcement environments, the need for multiple channels of high quality, easy to use compression is growing rapidly. The new dbx® 1046 is designed to provide the audio professional with just that: 4 channels of great sounding dbx compression for a variety of applications. Incorporating the industry standard dbx designs and the latest available manufacturing techniques, the dbx 1046 provides pristine sonic quality with that classic dbx sound.

The 1046 provides 4 channels of smooth classic dbx OverEasy® or Hard Knee compression that are perfectly suited for use on individual tracks of your multitrack recorder, and in virtually all applications the separate channels can be individually interfaced and used for entirely independent purposes. Additionally the newly developed PeakStopPlus™ is ideal for protecting your system from the oppressive peaks that can take out valuable drivers in your sound reinforcement rig or studio monitors.

All four channels have the following controls:

Threshold - allows you to set the level at which the compressor starts affecting the gain

OverEasy - allows you to select between soft compression for overall gain control or Hard Knee compression based on the characteristics of the original dbx 160.

Ratio - allows you to set the slope of gain reduction affecting the signal over the threshold level.

Input/Output Meter - allows you to set the meter to check the input and output levels for maximum signal-to-noise ratio and best level matching.

Output Gain - allows you to add make-up gain or to adjust the output level for that channel to match the next device's input gain.

Bypass - hard wire bypass allows you to hear how the compressor is affecting your signal.

PeakStopPlus - allows you to set the maximum signal level you want to pass through this channel. While it's virtually impossible to eliminate distortion, the PeakStopPlus circuit does it gracefully and effectively with minimal distortion.

Stereo Link - allows you to link channels 1&2 and 3&4 for two channels of true stereo compression.

All four channels feature balanced gold plated XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs, and switchable +4dBu or -10dBV operating level to interface each individual channel with any other device.

So whether you need to control the level, placement in the mix, or overall characteristics of 4 independent signals or control the gain leveling on a couple of stereo pairs, the dbx 1046 is for you.

• Four independent channels of operation, stereo linkable in two pairs
• PeakStopPlus™ limiting control for setting maximum allowable level regardless of compressor settings
• Independent Threshold and ratio controls
• Switchable OverEasy® or Hard Knee compression
• Classic dbx® compression
• Differentially balanced gold-plated XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs
• True RMS level detection
• Precision metering of input level, output level, and gain reduction
• Dual True stereo or quad mono operation
• Switchable +4dBu or -10dBV operation per channel

The S com 4 is a compact and versatile single-rack space device that provides
four channels of high quality dynamics processing with an Expander/Gate and
Compressor/Limiter on each channel.
The four channels operate independently or in stereo pairs. Its multi-segment LED
metering displays input/output level as well as gain reduction. The Expander/Gate
section features a continuously variable Threshold control as well as a switch for
fast or slow release times.
The Compressor/Limiter section includes variable Threshold, Ratio and Output levels.
S com 4's Enhancer switch restores high frequencies that are sometimes diminished
by heavy compression. This wide-ranging combination of features makes the S com
4 an efficient and versatile audio tool for a wide variety of applications. Its clean and
quiet audio characteristics make it ideal where high sonic integrity is imperative.

 Reverbs & Delays

Because it is one of the most desired effects, the FX2000 provides 12 different reverb programs, so you always have the ideal reverb for your live performance or studio needs.

Reverbs include:

    CATHEDRAL
    GOLD PLATE
    SMALL HALL
    ROOM
    STUDIO
    CONCERT
    STUDIO
    STAGE
    SPRING REVERB
    AMBIENCE
    EARLY REFLECTIONS

Specialty reverbs include:

    REVERB – reverb is synthetically turned off after a predetermined amount of time
    REVERSE REVERB – reverb envelope is reversed—it slowly gets louder

Delays include:

    STEREO DELAY – delay is processed across the entire stereo image
    TAPE ECHO – simulates classic tape echo devices, pre-dating the advent of digital delays
    PING PONG – delay signal is "bounced” from left to right at an adjustable tempo

Much More than Just Reverb and Delay

The FX2000 has some of the best-sounding reverb and delay programs, but thatʼs not all. It also provides excellent modulation effects (such as chorus, flanger and phaser), including special variations like musical pitch shifter, tremolo and even a rotary speaker simulation.

Modulation and Pitch Shifter FX:

    STEREO FLANGER (originally generated by playing back two synchronized "reel to reel” tape recorders with a finger rubbing on the flange of one of the take-up reels)
    VINTAGE FLANGER simulates a guitar fl anger stomp box
    JET STREAM FLANGER sounds like a classic analog flanger
    STEREO CHORUS (combines a slightly detuned signal with the original)
    ANALOG CHORUS simulates a guitar chorus stomp box
    VINTAGE CHORUS imitates a classic analog studio chorus
    ULTRA CHORUS creates the sound of an eight person chorus
    STEREO PHASER (combines a second, phaseshifted signal to the original)
    VINTAGE PHASER represents a guitar phaser stomp box
    DUAL PHASER processes the left and right channels separately
    ROTARY (simulation of the rotating speakers typically used on an organ) – Slow or Fast
    PITCH SHIFTER (changes the pitch of the original signal) – can be used to create harmonies with the original signal or replace it entirely with the altered pitch. Choices include stereo, two and three vocal pitch shifter
    VIBRATO – the peak frequency of the tone is periodically and uniformly changed (quickly or slowly)
    TREMOLO (common vintage guitar amplifier effect) – a fast or slow periodic variation in volume
    AUTO PANNING – signal is automatically sent from one side of the stereo image to the other, either once or multiple times

Dynamic FX:

    COMPRESSOR – reduces the dynamic range of the signal, maintains consistent signal level and thus avoids distortion associated with excessive input levels
    EXPANDER – effectively broadens the dynamic range of source signals while reducing background noise
    GATED REVERB – helps reduce background clutter by turning reverb off below a predetermined threshold level. Particularly effective on drum mics and vocals
    ANA. KOMPR/LIM. — similar to COMPRESSOR but with Limiting functionality
    ULTRAMIZER – analyses incoming signal and automatically applies compression across two independent frequency bands
    DENOISER – eliminates or reduces noise and other interference
    DE-ESSER – reduces or removes sibilance (Ssss sound) from signal
    WAVE DESIGNER – allows you to influence the envelope by adjusting Attack and Release of the signal

Psychoacoustic FX:

    EXCITER – adds artificially generated overtones to the original signal, increasing presence and perceived loudness without significant increase in signal level
    ENHANCER – functions much like a dynamic pitch equalizer
    ULTRA BASS – sub-harmonic processor combined with bass exciter and limiter
    STEREO IMAGER – divides the signal into middle and side signals, allowing individual signals to be amplif ed when desired and placed on the stereo image
    ULTRA WIDE – creates a broader stereo image
    BINAURALIZER – also creates a broader stereo image and compensates for crosstalk between both speakers

Filter/EQ FX:

    AUTO FILTER – influences the frequency response of a signal. Two filters are included: low pass allows low frequencies to pass and suppresses high frequency content; high pass does the exact opposite
    LFO FILTER - Controls the rate of oscillation effects
    PARAMETRIC EQ – allows you to control the bandwidth, frequency and amplitude of a signal
    GRAPHIC EQ – the sound spectrum is divided into eight (8) adjacent frequency bands, which can be cut or boosted, bandwidth is predetermined

Distortion FX and Amp Simulations

The FX2000 is also equipped with distortion, amplifier and speaker simulation including VOCAL DISTORTION, TUBE DISTORTION, GUITAR AMP, TRI FUZZ, SPEAKER SIMULATION, RING MODULATOR and LO-FI.

Special FX:

    VINYLIZER – adds clicks and/or noise to the signal, reminiscent of old vinyl records and tape machines
    SAMPLER – allows you to record and playback up to five (5) seconds of program material
    VOCODER – allows the input signal to modulate another signal (usually a synthesizer sound), creating the familiar "talking synthesizer” effect
    VOICE CANCELER – removes mono vocal parts from stereo recordings for "instant Karaoke”
    RESONATOR – simulates and oscillating system that amplifies a specific frequency

Our FX Combinations Go to 11

Sometimes you want to add a little (or a lot) of color to your reverb and delay patches. The FX2000 allows you to layer modulation effects like chorus, flanger, pitch or tremolo with your reverb or delay selections.

FX Combinations include:

    Chorus & Reverb
    Flanger & Reverb
    Leslie & Reverb
    Pitch & Reverb
    Delay & Reverb
    Tremolo & Reverb
    Phaser & Reverb
    Chorus & Delay
    Flanger & Delay
    Pitch & Delay
