BEHRINGER COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX-Channel Expander/Gate/
BEHRINGER COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX-Channel Expander/Gate/ Compressor/ Limiter In good working order. This one's had very little use, although there are some slight surface scratches where it's been slid between other pieces of rack mount kit. It comes boxed with all original paperwork Here's some further information about this piece of kit taken from some other websites: The reference-class MDX is a marvelous dual-channel Expander/ Gate/Compressor/Peak Limiter that is ideal for: compressing mono/ stereo signals and providing virtually inaudible noise suppression, without loss of high frequencies; increasing vocal presence and energy; and limiting, or smoothing out extremely-high signal peaks. Additionally, the MDX features an integrated Dynamic Enhancer, De-Esser, Low-Contour filter and our revolutionary, switchable Tube simulation – for the extra warmth and transparency of classic tube circuitry. Put simply, the MDX can do amazing things for your vocals or instruments – providing virtually everything you need for studio-quality dynamics processing! The Composer Pro is a popular processor which provides interactive control over the signal dynamics. An Interactive Knee Adaption Compressor which combines hard knee technology with current soft knee circuitry. (Hard knee compression compresses by a fixed ratio above the threshold whereas soft knee provides an increasing compression ratio as the signal increases until limiting is achieved.) This method is often felt to provide the most sonically acceptable form of compression. An expander section includes Ratio circuitry which adapts the time constants to the programme material to avoid premature gate closure. It also eliminates `chatter` by introducing a hysteresis component into the time constants. A Clipper/Peak limiter brickwalls the signal for short transients and then reduces the overall output level. Attack and Release times can be set manually or automatically. Automatic bypass relay in the event of failure. External Key and Key listen facilities. -10dB/+4dB operation. Jack/XLR connectors. Looking for a multi-tool for stage and studio? The Behringer Composer Pro-XL MDX Compressor is a dual-channel compressor/limiter/expander ready to take on your biggest challenges. The expander increases signal presence and energy, while the compressor minimizes peaks without loss of high frequencies. The switchable Interactive Knee Adaptation (IKA) in the MDX combines the advantages of hard and soft-knee compressors. The integrated de-esser has switchable male/female voice recognition to remove excess sibilance. You can combine both channels for stereo operation, and also turn on the side chain input for monitoring. Switchable tube emulation lets you add warmth to your tracks.
