Whether you’re looking for “heavy” compression or subtle gain leveling, the 1066 stereo compressor/limiter/gate with selectable hard knee or OverEasy® compression is ideal. The 1066’s compressor section allows you to set attack and release times manually or automatically using our convenient Auto Mode. In addition, our famous Contour switch allows you to smoothly compress entire mixes while preventing low frequencies from punching holes in the overall mix. The 1066’s gate section enables you to clean up unwanted frequencies or mic bleed using its frequency-dependent gain control and the Side Chain External button. With the Side Chain Monitor button and an equalizer, you can select which frequencies will trigger the gate. For overall speaker protection, our innovative PeakStopPlus™ technology prevents unwanted transients from blowing your drivers and minimizes the distortion common to many other “hard” limiters.
