Having compression in your audio chain gives you the ability to smooth out uneven levels, add sustain to guitars and fatten up your drums. It also makes it easy to bring vocals to the front of your mix - adding greater clarity and making them stand out from the surrounding instruments.dbx knows compressors...after all we invented them! The 266xs is the latest in a long line of the world's most successful compressors from the inventors of the technology. Its patented Overeasy compression technology provides smooth and musical performance while the AutoDynamic™ attack and release controls, found only on dbx compressors, puts great sound within easy reach. The 166xs can operate in stereo or dual-mono modes, has true RMS power summing and features quality XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs. Review: Love dbx - Worth the price, one of high quality product of dbx, makes my sound system way more better. Review: It's a dbx and it works - Gate works well for very quite bleed not so much for average bleed, the compressor works well and transparent. No complaints about the build quality it feels more expensive than it is. Overall a good buy a better compressor would be 3 times the price and I would probably question the build quality of those. For a budget starter compressor a definite buy (if you know how to use compressors and gates). You can hear the DBX 160 sound (when pushed) that you get in the Plugin versions of DBX. Nothing to write home about but for a first compressor, it is a bargain from a big name in the industry and likely to stay in the rack even after buying more expensive gear. ## Features - Error proof operation to smooth uneven levels, add sustain to guitars, fatten drums or tighten up mixes - Great sounding dynamics control for any type of program material - Balanced inputs and outputs on 1/4" trs and xlr - New gate timing algorithms ensure the smoothest release characteristics - Classic dbx "auto" mode ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004NDFRVC | | Amperage | 300 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Compression | | Brand | DBX | | Brand Name | DBX | | Color | Silver | | Colour | Silver | | Connector Type | XLR and 1/4" TRS | | Controls Type | Switch | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 404 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00691991401244 | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Included Components | XLR and 1/4" TRS cables | | Item Dimensions | 48.3 x 14.6 x 4.4 centimeters | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 14.6L x 48.3W x 4.4H centimeters | | Item Type Name | Dynamic Processors | | Item Weight | 2.99 kg | | Item weight | 2.99 kg | | Manufacturer | DBX | | Manufacturer Part Number | DBX0112 | | Model Name | 266xs | | Model Number | DBX266XSV | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product dimensions | 14.6L x 48.3W x 4.4H centimeters | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | Classic | | UPC | 634644980345 600599645592 691991401244 632317252331 795871255870 | | Voltage | 9 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DBX - **Colour:** Silver - **Item weight:** 2.99 kg - **Product dimensions:** 14.6L x 48.3W x 4.4H centimeters - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![DBX 266XS Dual Compressor/Gate - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510m3XxQwqL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How would I connect a scarlett 2i2 to this?** A: Question: what is a scarlet 2i2??? **Q: im new at this and i have question about the button on the back that says operating level, what level do you use +4db or -10db and why** A: Consumer grade audio equipment and computer sound cards typically have line inputs which run at -10 db. Professional grade equipment like the dbx 286s can output line levels in the range -10 to +4 db. The 286s can output any signal level in that range. The switch on the back is provided so that the 286s can be connected to consumer grade equipment without damaging the driven device. Please note: Applying a +4 db audio output into a -10 db audio input could cause damage to the input device. Care should be exercised whenever connecting professional grade equipment to consumer grade equipment. This information is also covered in the dbx 286s user manual. **Q: can it be used with the 286s mic preamp from dbx** A: The compressor has inserts and XLR connectors in/out and you could probably chain any other rack gear to the 266xs.I am not really familiar with the 286s mic preamp but I am sure there is a way to use it.I have to say this dbx 266xs is a really nice compressor and very easy to use. **Q: Can i run unbalanced in and xlr out, or do i need to run balanced in if i want balanced out? thanks** A: You can run unbalanced in, though there is a higher chance of noise in the system, I do not recall if there are XLR output connections, if there are jacks for XLR then yes you can run unblance in and XLR out. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love dbx *by M***. on 23 March 2026* Worth the price, one of high quality product of dbx, makes my sound system way more better. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a dbx and it works *by N***E on 24 March 2021* Gate works well for very quite bleed not so much for average bleed, the compressor works well and transparent. No complaints about the build quality it feels more expensive than it is. Overall a good buy a better compressor would be 3 times the price and I would probably question the build quality of those.

The instruction booklet gave me a place to start and did a good job of explaining what each of the settings meant. From then on I made incremental adjustments to get the precise results I was looking for. I do podcasts, so I only have to be concerned about my voice. Still, my recordings come out sounding professional. If I had a real recording studio I probably wouldn't need the 166XS, but since I record in my bedroom this machine has become indispensable. Dogs barking next door, cars driving past my house--none of that is a concern anymore because they just don't make it past the threshold. UPDATE, Nov. 20, 2013. I continue to enjoy using this machine. My recordings would be quite inferior without it. I have noticed, however, that the more I use it and understand what each control is actually doing to my sound, the more I want to adjust the controls even further. I think I've made three or four major changes to the controls since I purchased the machine, all in an effort to perfect the recording quality. I believe this latest adjustment yields the best results, and allows me to speak in a cadence and rhythm that is closest to the way I would speak without all the electronics, but at the same time removing the background noise and hiss. There is no one correct control setting(s). You really have to do a lot of trial-and-error tuning to get the right amount of compression/expansion for the project you are working on. But it does make a major difference in my recordings. I almost want to go back and re-record all the projects I completed before installing the 166XS . . .
