The 166xs compressor/limiter/gate adds to live sound rig or studio and gives more dynamic control to help create a more polished, professional sound. Having compression in audio chain gives 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. To protect your expensive amps and speakers the PeakStop limiter provides an absolute ceiling for peak excursions or large transients that could damage your equipment. The 166xs is the latest in a long line of the world's most successful compressors from the inventors of the technology.
