Up for sale is a classic dbx 160XT monaural compressor/limiter. Purchased brand new and recently decommissioned from active service in a pro studio, this legendary 1U hardware unit is in great shape overall and remains an industry-standard choice for making kick drums, snares, and bass tracks punch directly through a mix. As an evolution of the original 160X, the 160XT features balanced XLR inputs and outputs alongside standard 1/4" TRS connectivity for seamless integration into pro studio environments. Condition & Details

  • Studio History: Meticulously cared for in a smoke-free, climate-controlled professional control room. 
  • Knob Cosmetic Note: The unit is missing one plastic cap/face on one of the front control knobs. This is entirely cosmetic; the metal pot stem is intact and functions perfectly. 
  • Cosmetic Condition: Great physical shape aside from the missing knob cap. The faceplate is clean, the silk screening is bright, and the LED meters are fully intact with only minimal, standard rack wear. 
  • Functional State: 100% operational. The threshold, compression ratio (ranging into negative ratios), and output gain pots sweep cleanly. 
  • Classic Features: The "OverEasy" soft-knee compression switch, hardwire bypass toggle, and slave link button function exactly as intended. 

Ships securely packed and fully insured.
