The MC6 provides traditional dbx sonic quality and perfor-

mance for the working musician, DJ, studio operator or

anyone who needs a friendly compressor to achieve pro-

fessional quality compression quickly and easily. The

MC6 Mini-Comp is the most affordable professional

quality stereo compressor on the market today. Its

unique table-top design makes it the most conve-

nient stereo compressor to use, and it’s packed

with just the right features to effectively reduce

and control the dynamic range of your audio, add

punch to flabby, loose sounds, or add sustain to

instruments. The MC6 begins with the classic

dbx compression made famous by our 160 line

of compressors, and has all of the now-stan-

dard features that have brought dbx to the

forefront of dynamic control, including full

control over threshold, attack, release, ratio,

and output. And we’ve included a footswitch

bypass jack on the rear panel, just to make life a

little easier.

The MC6 operates in stereo mode or in mono mode, with the resultant mono signal being fed to both output jacks. Stereo sig­nals are compressed using our True RMS Power Summing™ algorithm, giving a perfect stereo image every time. With True
RMS Power Summing, the detectors are linked and respond to the sum of the energy (power) of each channel’s signal. This sum
of energies will accurately track over a wide dynamic range providing excellent response at low or high signal levels. The MC6
features two Auto compression modes, one optimized for vocals and the other for instruments such as an electric guitar. For max­imum flexibility, we also scaled the program-dependent Attack and Release controls with dbx's new AutoDynamic™ circuitry,
so that the MC6's full range of controls produce voicings that extend from slow leveling to aggressive peak limiting.
