TCS? Overview

The TCS is a two-channel high performance compression system which features two types
of compression per channel utilizing ART?s Dual Topology technology.
On one hand you can choose from optical compression, like that in our Pro VLA, for that
smooth transparent compression. On the other hand you might want to use a VCA based
compression scheme for hard limiting. Both of these compression methods are underneath
the hood of this single space rack unit. Taking it even one step further the TCS offers the breakthrough
feature of stacking the VCA and the opto isolator for when you want that over the top compression,
or a hard VCA limiter on your optical compressed channels.
Going beyond the idea of just a two-channel compressor, ART decided to spice up the TCS with
our famous V3? technology. The TCS also offers the ability for the user to twist the V3 knob to
a variety of settings that take some of the hassle out of compression, yet still allowing each setting
to be tweaked to the material?s needs.
The TCS has a long list of impressive features, including a Toroidal Transformer, XLR & 1/4? Inputs,
front panel instrument input, Optical and VCA compression capabilities, side chain inserts, channel
linking for when you are working on a stereo track, attack, release, threshold, and ratio knobs, de-essing,
an expander/gate per channel, V3 control per channel, twin VU meters for measuring compression,
twin LED input/output meter for ultra-precise level metering, and the ability to place a tube in the
signal path to add some warmth to your signal.

The latest addition to the 10 Series product line, the dbx® 1074 QuadGate™, is the perfect companion to the 1066 and 1046. The 1074 offers 4 channels of gating with threshold, depth and release controls on each channel. The 1074, like the rest of the products in dbx 10 Series, is based on the legendary dbx V2 VCA and offers XLR inputs and outputs, and 1/4” side-chain input. In addition to an external key input per channel, the 1074 also has an internal filter that can be independently activated and controlled on a channel-per-channel basis. This filter allows the 1074 to not only clean up tracks, but gives you frequency selective control on each gate, to open exactly when you want it to. These features combined, make the 1074 an absolute must for those who require quad gating on applications including: Gating dry and percussive sounds such as snare drum and kick drum,gating sounds that have longer decay times such as cymbals and Pianos, gating hum or buzz from live instruments or recorded tracks or eliminating Headphone leakage into microphones. Gating instrument microphones to eliminate amplifier bleed. 

From the company that has been redefining the standard of signal processing for more than 30 years, dbx® Professional Products comes a bulletproof product that caters to the scrutinizing needs of those who require the precision noise gating capabilities. Once again, the engineering staff at dbx® Professional Products have taken technology that has been over three decades in the making and have created a product that is flexible, versatile and rock solid in construction design. The 1074ʼs independent channel design with key filtering capabilities make it the perfect tool for countless applications.

  • Four independent channels of gating
  • Independent key filtering
  • Independent Threshold and Release controls
  • Differentially balanced gold-plated XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs
  • True RMS level detection
  • Stereo Coupling mode
  • Switchable +4dBu or -10dBv operation per channel
