560A
Overview
Introduction
The 560A is a 500 series compliant compressor/limiter. It’s design is based on the popular dbx 160A compressor/limiter. It is
a VCA design which incorporates true RMS level detection for very musical compression characteristics. The 560A functions
as a hard-knee compressor/limiter when the OverEasy
®
switch is disengaged – this works great when a more aggressively
compressed signal is required. When the OverEasy switch is engaged, the processor functions as a soft-knee compressor/
limiter – use this mode when more subtle compression or limiting is required.
The 560A is well suited for live sound or studio use and can be used to add punch to drums, add sustain to bass and guitar
lines, control vocal level fluctuations, or control any other mono source which has excessive dynamic range or peaks. When
recording, the 560A can be used to effectively control peaks during the tracking stage or for compressing/limiting signals
during the mixing stage.
Precision metering makes it easy to see input and output levels, as well as the exact amount of gain reduction being applied.
Combined with the simplistic controls and very musical program-dependent attack and release times, the 560A is very quick
and easy to dial in with great results.
We hope the 560A serves as an indespensible creative tool for your sound processing and music production needs. Thank you
for choosing dbx.
