IN WORKING CONDITION, DOES HAVE SCRACTHES (SEE PICTURES)

In today's recording and sound reinforcement environments, the need for multiple channels of high quality, easy to use compression is growing rapidly. The new dbx® 1046 is designed to provide the audio professional with just that: 4 channels of great sounding dbx compression for a variety of applications. Incorporating the industry standard dbx designs and the latest available manufacturing techniques, the dbx 1046 provides pristine sonic quality with that classic dbx sound.

The 1046 provides 4 channels of smooth classic dbx OverEasy® or Hard Knee compression that are perfectly suited for use on individual tracks of your multitrack recorder, and in virtually all applications the separate channels can be individually interfaced and used for entirely independent purposes. Additionally the newly developed PeakStopPlus™ is ideal for protecting your system from the oppressive peaks that can take out valuable drivers in your sound reinforcement rig or studio monitors.

All four channels have the following controls:

Threshold - allows you to set the level at which the compressor starts affecting the gain

OverEasy - allows you to select between soft compression for overall gain control or Hard Knee compression based on the characteristics of the original dbx 160.

Ratio - allows you to set the slope of gain reduction affecting the signal over the threshold level.

Input/Output Meter - allows you to set the meter to check the input and output levels for maximum signal-to-noise ratio and best level matching.

Output Gain - allows you to add make-up gain or to adjust the output level for that channel to match the next device's input gain.

Bypass - hard wire bypass allows you to hear how the compressor is affecting your signal.

PeakStopPlus - allows you to set the maximum signal level you want to pass through this channel. While it's virtually impossible to eliminate distortion, the PeakStopPlus circuit does it gracefully and effectively with minimal distortion.

Stereo Link - allows you to link channels 1&2 and 3&4 for two channels of true stereo compression.

All four channels feature balanced gold plated XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs, and switchable +4dBu or -10dBV operating level to interface each individual channel with any other device.

So whether you need to control the level, placement in the mix, or overall characteristics of 4 independent signals or control the gain leveling on a couple of stereo pairs, the dbx 1046 is for you.

Features

  • Four independent channels of operation, stereo linkable in two pairs
  • PeakStopPlus™ limiting control for setting maximum allowable level regardless of compressor settings
  • Independent Threshold and ratio controls
  • Switchable OverEasy® or Hard Knee compression
  • Classic dbx® compression

It’s really pretty decent except for one thing.
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 4 Panel, Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 4 Panel
I bought two of these for my basement and they do look great. They were easy to assemble and I’m happy with them. The problem is that the stitching on the fabric panels are almost the size of a machine basting stitch (which for non sewers means large temporary stitches). Because the panels are tight by design, the stitches had already started to come undone before I could finish assembling everything. Fortunately I can sew and I reinforced all the panels. I had to take the first ones back off the poles to do them but I did the second set before assembling. It’s really not a bad product for the money. It’s quality fabric and the design itself looks great. The stitching looks fine but it’s just not substantial enough for the purpose it is supposed to serve. I can’t imagine why it be sewn so insufficiently. I was able to resolve my issue because I can sew. I wasn’t planning on sewing nor did I really have the time. I could have made it myself but I didn’t want to and that is why I purchased this. I ended up using valuable time. The really unfortunate thing is, I have no other complaints. This is a manufacturing problem.

Inexpensive walls.
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel, Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
We had a hot request for a workstation in the warehouse with some privacy. These have worked great. Easy to assemble. They are lightweight and stable. This was an inexpensive solution that looks professional. Our client loved it.

Dont wait! Assemble right away! Just in case you need to return it.
Color: Black, Size: 22" - 4 Panel
Ok, I like the idea of this but the assembly is frustrating. One side lined up perfectly with the holes however, the small bars that connect the screen to base is not lining up. I think it's do the fabric the screen or divider is made of. It's not stretchy. I brought this months ago and just opened it today. I'm upset and don't even think returning it is possible. If the material was a bit longer or stretchy to give a little room to work with this divider would be great. However, I'm not sure what I can use it for since I'm unable to attach it to the bottom. Beware! Don't wait like me. Tip for the manufacturer. Next time invest in Velcro dividers so the fabric can be adjusted with ease. Literally if I take the screen off the frame aligns perfectly. However, it defeats its purpose of privacy. I might buy some material myself and create a more flexible divider. Or I'll buy Velcro myself and attach to the bottom. I don't know yet.

Very practical and so far its working great.
This outlet extender is super practical! I installed it just behind a night stand to extend the outlet above it. The built in USB C ports can fast charge a Samsung S25 on a MagSafe base, so they are at least good for 15W. The outlet came disassembled and very well packed. There are 3 extensions included to change the reach of the outlet, but for a nightstand, a single extension was all that is needed. The outlets on the extender are nice and tight and like mentioned before, the USB ports work well and are very convenient to have. There is also an On/Off switch at the top of the extender you can use to turn off all the devices connected to it. Overall a great kit, that seems well made and should hopefully last a long time. So far I can recommend it.

Finally, a smart solution for that impossible outlet behind the couch
I have one specific outlet in my living room that drives me absolutely crazy. It’s directly behind our heavy sectional sofa, and every time I need to plug in a laptop charger or the vacuum, I have to literally wrestle the furniture away from the wall and blindly reach down into the dark. When I saw this TROND extendable outlet stick, I bought it immediately hoping it would solve that exact headache. It totally did. The design is brilliant. It’s modular, so you can adjust the length anywhere from 16 to 39 inches depending on how many segments you screw together. I used all three pieces so the actual power strip sits right at the perfect height just above the back of the couch. Now I have five outlets and two USB-C ports right where I can actually reach them. The USB-C ports charge my phone quickly, and having built-in surge protection gives me peace of mind for my electronics. Plus, the 360-degree rotating plug lies completely flat, so the couch can push all the way back against the wall without bending any cords. I did run into one quirky issue when installing it, which I took a couple of photos of to show you. In the US, our wall outlets are usually installed with the round ground prong on the bottom. However, the plug on this device is oriented with the ground prong on the top. If you plug it into a standard outlet, the cord wants to run upwards instead of down. Fortunately, it’s an incredibly easy DIY fix. I just went to my breaker box, shut off the power to the living room, unscrewed the wall outlet, flipped it upside down so the ground prong was on top, and screwed it back in. It took less than five minutes and completely solved the problem. Even with that minor orientation quirk, this thing is a total game-changer for awkward living room layouts. If you're tired of scraping your knuckles trying to reach behind furniture, this is worth every penny.
