panel controls. Instead, a DC voltage controls all functions; this eliminates any

possibility of potentiometer noise developing over time.

Although the dbx 262 was designed to be the easiest stereo compressor/limiter

on the market to use, we suggest that you read this operation manual to fully

understand the 262's power. We have kept the manual simple and easy to read

so that you can get back to work quickly.

We know you'll enjoy your 262 and thanks again for purchasing a quality dbx

product.

Before continuing any further, please inspect the contents of the dbx 262 box to

be sure that the following items are included:

• dbx 262 Compressor/Limiter

• Operation Manual (yes, you are already reading it)

• Registration/Warranty card

• 4 Rack Screws and Washers

• Power Cord

If anything is missing, please notify your dealer.

The information contained in this manual is subject to change at any time with-

out notification.

BYPASS Switches and LEDs: In Bypass mode, the 262's processing and con-

trols are disabled, presenting unaltered input signal at the 262's output. The

bypass mode for each channel works independently, even when in stereo cou-

ple mode. Bypass mode is especially useful for making comparisons between

processed and unprocessed signals. When bypassed, the red LED adjacent to

the switch is lit.

THRESHOLD Control: Adjust this control to set the threshold of compression

from -40 to +20 dBu.
