Audio Compressor (266XL)

Goof proof operation to smooth uneven levels, add sustain to guitars, fatten drums or tighten up mixes;
New gate timing algorithms ensure the smoothest release characteristics;
Program-adaptive expander/gates;
Great sounding dynamics control for any type of program material;
Separate precision LED displays for gain reduction, compression threshold and gate threshold allow quick, accurate setup stereo or dual-mode operation;
Balanced inputs and outputs on 1/4" trs and xlr;
Side chain insert;
Classic "auto" mode.
