Congratulations on purchasing the dbx Model
160XT Compressor /Limiter . We recommend you
take a moment and read through the manual as it
provides information that will assist you from sys-
tem installation to operation to special applica-
tions. For a basic understanding of the terms used
in this manual, there is a Glossary of important
terms located in the back of the manual.
We have added a few new features to the dbx
Model 160XT while maintaining the performance
and ease of operation of its predecessor, the dbx
160X. We have added:

XL-type Input and Output Connectors - be-
cause the 3-pin XL connector has been recog-
nized as the most durable and widely used
connector for professional applications.
Balanced Output - can drive a 6000 load to
+24dBu and provides common-mode rejec-
tion of unwanted noise in the audio path
such as RF and 60Hz components.
True Power Summing - When two 160XT units
are slaved together, the RMS energy of the sig-
nal presented to the slave unit is summed
with the RMS energy of the signal presented
to the master unit to prevent phase cancella-
tion of the two signals from causing unmusi-
cal compressor action. Note: a 160X unit can
also be used with the same results as long as
the 160XT is used as the master unit.
Input Ground-Lift Switch - for isolation be-
tween shield ground and signal ground. Use-
ful when trouble shooting hum (AC line
interference).
