The dbx 162SL Purple Series is a flagship stereo compressor/limiter engineered for precise, musical dynamic control in professional studios and live sound. Built to deliver either transparent levelling or characterful squeeze, it keeps mixes cohesive while preserving nuance and impact.
AutoVelocity timing intelligently adapts attack and release to the programme, helping you rein in vocals, bass, drums or full mixes without pumping or distortion. Operate in dual mono for tracking flexibility or link the channels for mix bus and mastering duties. Clear metering and intuitive controls make setup fast and repeatable, while the dedicated limiter stage provides reliable peak protection for confident gain staging. Premium components and a rugged chassis ensure consistent performance and long-term reliability in demanding rack environments.
Ideal for engineers seeking dependable, great‑sounding compression with minimal fuss, the 162SL excels on lead sources, group busses and stereo programme material. A versatile choice for studio, broadcast and front‑of‑house workflows.
