Description

The dbx 560A Compressor/Limiter offers legendary VCA-based compression in the increasingly popular 500 Series format. dbx has a much-heralded history with modular processors dating back to our 900 Series and the 560A continues that tradition. Featuring the same switch-selectable OverEasy® and Hard Knee compression curves as our industry-standard dbx 160A rackmount processor, the dbx 560A will be your new workhorse compressor!

Features

OverEasy® or classic hard knee compression with dbx’s ultra-musical program dependent attack and release times
Compression ratio variable from 1:1 through infinity:1 to -1:1
Precise RMS gain reduction and input/output meter displays with calibration control for different operating levels
True RMS level detection
Exclusive Infinity+ compression using negative ratios

Why We Like This

It brings a proven dbx studio-processing design to the space-saving 500 Series format, making it easy to build a flexible modular signal chain.

FAQs

Q: Does the dbx 560A work by itself?
A: No. It is a 500 Series module and requires a compatible powered 500 Series chassis.

Q: What is the main job of the dbx 560A?
A: It is designed for classic dbx dynamics in a modular format within a modular studio or live-processing rack.

Q: Can the dbx 560A be combined with other 500 Series modules?
A: Yes. It can be installed alongside compatible preamps, EQs, compressors, and other 500 Series processors, subject to the chassis power capacity.
