Hey all. Quick question: what's the difference between the dbx 160a, 160x and 160xt compressors? I don't own any of them, but I'd like to and it seems the 160x's are the cheapest, followed by the xt's then the a's (on ebay and at used gear shops). I've looked all over the Internet and even on dbx's website, but I can't find any glaring difference.

Does anyone know the significant difference between the dbx 160 and the dbx 161 besides balanced vs unbalanced? is it only the transformers?

I have inherited a pair of 161 and would like to make them into the 160 if it is at all a reasonable project.

any advice, info, links would be hugely appreciated!

thanks

can anyone tell me the sonic diffrences between this vintage unit to its follower (160x,xt and A)
thanx

hi everyone,

I am the lucky owner of a pair of dbx 160VU compressors. It would be lovely to dispose of some more compressors like that for tracking drums.

I love the ease of use of the dbx 160, and I love its sound on lots of things like drums, bass and guitars. Can I use them lightly on vocals as well?

can anyone tell me the difference between a dbx 160 and a 161 they look the same from the front.
thanks,rrrrrr

Is the new 160A sound anything like the older models (X and UV)?
