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.

Overview Bring a more professional sound to your mix
Adding a dbx® 166xs 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. To protect your expensive amps and speakers the PeakStop® limiter provides an absolute ceiling for peak excursions or large transients that could damage your equipment.
dbx knows compressors...after all we invented them! The 166xs 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 166xs can operate in stereo or dual-mono modes, has true RMS power summing and features quality XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs.

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
