Page 5: Introduction
Introduction Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of the dbx 1066 Compressor. The dbx 1066 is a high perfor- mance multifunctional unit designed to deliver all the flexibility and power that a professional user demands. The dbx 1066 incorporates the new advanced dbx V2™ VCA for high system performance. We recommend you take a moment to read through this Operation manual. -
Page 6: Connecting The 1066 To Your System
Connecting the 1066 to your system To connect the 1066 to your system, refer to the following steps: Install the 1066 in a rack with the rack screws provided. It can be mounted above or below anything equipment is in use. Although the unit is shielded against radio frequency and electromagnetic inter- Both types of connectors for the inputs and outputs can be used for balanced or unbalanced connec- tions. -

The switch lights indicating the input signal is currently being sent to the meter. When the switch is in the out position, the output signal is selected for metering, and the switch will not be illuminated.

The peaks of the input signal which exceeded the clamping level are not allowed to exceed this level at the output. This instantaneous protective action is invalu- possible, while still avoiding the disastrous result of running out of headroom.
