DBX 163 Early Model Wood Panel Compressor/Limiter Vintage Pro Audio
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:767368 | Brand: DBX |
Type: Single-Effect Processor | Modified Item: No |
Output Level: +18 dBm into 2 k-ohms |
Variable compression from +4dB to -36dB. Fixed switched levels +4dB/ -10dB and adjustable variable level (adjustable by screwdriver) from -20dB to +10dB at the back of the device.
Looks great, in excellent ...condition. Incredible on bass and electric guitar and surprisingly very nice on vocals; warm, soft, and grainy; classic DBX sound.
Please note that this is the wood side panel model which is the tabletop version. If you are after rack-mount equipment, the 163 has an accessory RM-18-1 rack-mount kit for one, that you will need to source yourself as I don't have.
This is vintage audio equipment - production of DBX compressor/limiters stopped a long time ago due to buyout of a Chinese company. Rare and hard to find - they don't make 'em like this anymore!
I have sourced a downloadable PDF version of the manual, as I don't have one to go with the item... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.vintageshifi.com/repertoire-pdf/pdf/telecharge.php%3Fpdf%3DDbx-163-Owners-Manual.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjW-J-YltriAhXFW3wKHYnRDlkQFjADegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw1BcSIgMHMpfqkt-SB6zpco
