The dbx 165A compressor is a classic audio processing device that has played a significant role in shaping the sound of music recordings since its introduction in the late 1970s. Developed by the company dbx, which stands for David Blackmer's Exploration, the dbx 165A was designed to provide dynamic range control for audio signals.

The dbx 165A is an analog compressor that utilizes the dbx "Over Easy" compression technology. This technology aims to provide smooth and transparent compression by applying gradual compression as the input signal surpasses the set threshold, avoiding abrupt and noticeable changes in the sound. This characteristic made the dbx 165A popular among audio engineers for its ability to enhance the overall balance of a mix while maintaining the integrity of the original audio.

One of the distinctive features of the dbx 165A is its use of the dbx VCA (Voltage-Controlled Amplifier) in the compression circuit, which contributed to its precise and reliable performance. The unit became a staple in recording studios, used on a wide range of sources, including vocals, drums, and instruments.

Over the years, the dbx 165A has earned a reputation for its musical and versatile compression characteristics, making it a sought-after vintage unit in the world of audio production. Its impact on the music industry is reflected in its continued use in both professional studios and by audio enthusiasts seeking to capture the warm and classic sound that the dbx 165A is known for.

While newer digital compressors and processing tools have emerged in the modern era, the dbx 165A remains a cherished piece of equipment, valued for its unique sonic qualities and its role in the rich history of audio recording technology.
