Professional grade equipment like the dbx 286s can output line levels in the range -10 to +4 db. The 286s can output any signal level in that range. The switch on the back is provided so that the 286s can be connected to consumer grade equipment without damaging the driven device. Please note: Applying a +4 db audio output into a -10 db audio input could cause damage to the input device. Care should be exercised whenever connecting professional grade equipment to consumer grade equipment. This information is also covered in the dbx 286s user manual. **Q: can it be used with the 286s mic preamp from dbx** A: The compressor has inserts and XLR connectors in/out and you could probably chain any other rack gear to the 266xs.I am not really familiar with the 286s mic preamp but I am sure there is a way to use it.I have to say this dbx 266xs is a really nice compressor and very easy to use. **Q: Can i run unbalanced in and xlr out, or do i need to run balanced in if i want balanced out? thanks** A: You can run unbalanced in, though there is a higher chance of noise in the system, I do not recall if there are XLR output connections, if there are jacks for XLR then yes you can run unblance in and XLR out. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 楽器やで買うよりかは安いです。 *by 評***ん on April 15, 2020* 使用していても特に問題はありません。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 私も初めてです。 *by S***君 on April 15, 2018* 私も初めてです。最近は、DTMのパートの数が、増えて、30パート位以上になると、pとffの差が、極端になり、録音の際、どうしても、歪んでしまいます。と言って、普通に録音すると、Ｐのパートが、しょぼくなります。実際、そのままでスピーカーから鳴らす分には、演奏者？としては、okなのですが、是非、聞かせてと言う人のために、CDに焼けつける為に、購入しました。大雑把にミキサーから、何通りか、オートで、レシオをためして、録音したところ、音質が、落ちる事なく、使える事が、わかりました。でも、この機材を使いこなすには、奥深い物かもしれませんが、買って、大正解かもしれません。ありがとうございました。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ＮＨＫ大河ドラマの暴力的ダイナミックレンジの広さ *by 豊***雪 on October 10, 2016* 暴力的なまでのNHK大河ドラマのダイナミックレンジの広さを押さえるために購入。設置したおかげで、片手にリモコン・ボリュームで絶えず音量調整していた煩わしさから解放された。スピーカーから出る音量がフラットになり、ストレスから解放された。音ががフラットになって変化したのは、より物語に集中でき内容が理解できるようになったことに驚いている。 ## Frequently Bought Together - dbx 266xs Professional Audio Compressor/Gate Dynamic Effects Processor with Sidechain Insert.
