The revised DN500 Plus series utilises a new ?THAT?s? chip which features lower distortion, improved dynamic range and faster slew rate. We?ve updated the cosmetics too, bringing them into the new KT ?family look?. The DN500 Plus is our dual compressor / limiter / expander which is characterised by its extremely quiet operation, typically >2dB quieter than any comparable product. This alone has made it a broadcast-industry standard for many years. The two channels are linkable for true stereo operation, and both the compressor and expander sections are fitted with their own sidechain inputs. The DN504 Plus Quad Compressor has enjoyed hugely increased popularity in recent years, due to the ever expanding use of in-ear monitor systems. This is because the unit can be configured into two stereo pairs, has all the superlative audio performance of the DN500 Plus, and fits two sets of stereo compression into just one rack space. This configuration also makes it extremely cost effective. DN514 Plus has become one of the industry standard multi-gate devices for both recording and live applications. Providing the same superb audio performance as its other 500 Plus - series, DN514 Plus packs four channels of frequency conscious gating into just 1RU. This provides a significant operational advantage, being able to tailor the operation of each gate to a specific frequency range. DN500 Plus Dual Compressor / Limiter Expander Overview :
Two channels of full function compression, expansion, limiting and peak clipping in one unit of rack space. Variable knee control for compression styles from hard to easy. Auto attack/release mode for inaudible compression and easy set-up. Manual attack/release mode for creating compression effects. Advanced VCA design for extremely low noise and distortion. Flexible expander section features variable ratio for gentle expansion or hard gating. Separate side chain inputs are provided for compressor and expander sections. A peak limiter with variable threshold and programme related release provides additional protection. Peak clipper eliminates transient overload and tracks limiter threshold for total protection. Additional features include stereo link function, gain reduction meters for both compressor/ expander sections and output level meter. The DN500 Plus is sturdily constructed throughout and complies with standard 19? 1U rack mounting requirements.

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.
