Features Four Independent Compressor Channels Channels 1 and 2, 3 and 4 are stereo linkable 7 LED Gain Reduction metering Balanced XLR Inputs and Outputs Sidechain Insert points Intuitive, user friendly layout Flawless performance The sheer amount of effects and signal processors necessary for today's standards of audio production puts a great strain on the available space in equipment racks, both in the studio and on the road.So, ARX would like to introduce the ARX Quadcomp. An all-new upgrade of the classic award-winning ARX Quadcomp?, the very first four channel 1 RU compressor.You?ll notice that we haven?t strayed very far from our original design concept. The Quadcomp is still four variable ratio Compressor/ Limiters neatly housed in a compact all steel 1 RU package. However, all new low noise/low distortion circuitry, better metering plus XLR inputs and outputs put the Quadcomp in a class of its own. More Control, Less Space On the front panel, each channel has the 'industry standard' individual controls for Threshold, Compression Ratio and Output, plus a new 7 LED Gain Reduction display for accurate visual indication of the amount of gain reduction being applied to the program, and an IN/OUT hardwire bypass switch.In addition to this, each channel has a blank numbered panel to write on for easy confirmation of compressor assigns. Precision Circuitry Internally, each compressor uses Class A VCAs and true 2 pole averaging RMS/DC converters for low distortion and accuracy, plus program dependent attack and release time, which automatically determines optimum compressor response. Balanced Inputs and Outputs The rear panel has true differential Balanced XLR Inputs and Outputs for each compressor. Each compressor has a TRS jack Sidechain access insert point, for frequency sensitive compression, De-essing, etc. in conjunction with an external equalizer (such as the ARX EQ260). Compressor pairs 1 and 2, 3 and 4 also have rear panel mounted Stereo Link switches for accurate stereo tracking. When switched IN, the first channel becomes the master and controls all the functions of the second except Output gain. Universal AC Power AC power range is switchable 100 to 120V, or 220 to 240V, and is connected to the unit via a standard IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage switch. Whatever the application ? Channel insert, Bus insert, Master Outputs, Monitor outputs, Crossover outputs, the Quadcomp II?s unique High Density design, precision Low Noise circuitry and clean uncluttered layout make it a truly useful audio tool for all applications.

Adding a dbx® 266xs Compressor/Limiter/Gate to your live sound rig or studio gives you more dynamic control to help create a more polished, professional sound. Having compression in your audio chain gives you the ability to smooth out uneven levels, add sustain to guitars and fatten up your drums. It also makes it easy to bring vocals to the front of your mix - adding greater clarity and making them stand out from the surrounding instruments.
dbx knows compressors...after all we invented them! The 266xs is the latest in a long line of the world's most successful compressors from the inventors of the technology. Its patented Overeasy® compression technology provides smooth and musical performance while the AutoDynamic™ attack and release controls, found only on dbx compressors, puts great sound within easy reach. The 266xs can operate in stereo or dual-mono modes, has true RMS power summing and features quality XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs. It cuts no corners on visual feedback with gain reduction metering and easy-to-read backlit switches.

Features
Unique High Density design puts SIX gates in
minimum rack space
Intuitive, 'user friendly' layout
Balanced Inputs and Outputs
Fast, low noise opto-coupler circuitry
Sidechain/Key Input points on each channel
Hardwire Bypass switch on each gate
Flawless performance in any audio environment
The sheer amount of effects and signal processors required for today's
standards of audio production puts a great strain on the available space
in equipment racks, both in the studio and on the road.
So, in order to give engineers more control in less space, we've created
the ARX Sixgate; Six full function noise gates neatly housed in a compact,
all steel 1 RU package, without sacrificing features or quality.
Why Six gates?
Research shows that the majority of noise gates get used on drum kits,
which means using typically 5 to 6 gate channels. Compare this to the
two or maybe 4 channels that most other units have, and you'll see the
reason for the Sixgate's success.And, by using a minimalist approach to
drum gates, the ARX Sixgate has enough gates left over for backing vocals
and other instruments.
Industry Standard controls
Front panel controls for each gate consist of the 'Industry Standard' controls
for Release, Depth and Threshold, plus Red and Green LED displays to indicate
Gate Open or Closed status, and an IN/OUT hardwire bypass switch.
In addition to this, each gate has a blank panel to write on for easy confirmation
of gate assigns. No more pieces of masking tape stuck everywhere!
Ultra Low Noise
Internally, each gate has proprietary ARX ultra low noise high-speed opto-coupler
circuitry with program dependent Attack time, which tracks the incoming signal to
automatically determine optimum gate response.
Balanced Inputs and Outputs
The rear panel features true differential Balanced Inputs and Outputs for each gate,
on insulated TRS jack connectors.Each gate channel also has Individual Key Inputs/
Sidechain access insert points which can be used either for gate control by an external
signal, or for frequency sensitive gating (when used in conjuction with an external
equalizer such as the ARX EQ260).
Universal AC Power
AC power range on the Sixgate is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V, and is
connected to the unit via a standard 3 pin IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage
switch.
The Sixgate's unique combination of High Density design, intuitive 'user friendly' controls,
and clean uncluttered layout make it a truly useful audio tool for all applications.
