DBX 576 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier and Compressor

DBX 576 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier and Compressor For more than 25 years dbx has been a leader in the audio industry with its outstanding compressors, mic preamps and signal processing technology. The “Silver Series” serves to strengthen that reputation. With innovative, state-of-the-art engineering, the 576  Vacuum Tube Preamp/Compressor carries the dbx heritage into the vacuum tube arena. The 576 is generously appointed with all the features one could possibly want in a preamp/compresssor combinaton. Features that include custom designed analog VU meters that monitor tube level, insert path (or gain reduction, in the case of the  compressor) or output levels. The compressor side also has full sidechain functionality, including sidechain monitor, and our unique Contour function, which allows low  frequency material to pass through the threshold without triggering unmusical  compression effects. Also included are the dbx OverEasy® threshold characteristic, and Auto attack and release. Th
