Behringer MDX4600 V2
The reference-class MDX4600 V2 is a marvellous 4-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 MDX4600 features an integrated Dynamic Enhancer, De-Esser, and Low-Contour filter to provide the ultimate in signal enrichment. Put simply, the MDX4600 can do amazing things for your vocals or instruments – providing virtually everything you need for studio-quality dynamics processing!

Here are just a few of the MDX4600’s outstanding capabilities:

Switchable IKA (Interactive Knee Adaptation) provides program-adaptive compression, combining all the advantages of both hard and soft-knee compression

Enhancer lets you emphasise the Bass, Midrange and Hi output at selectable frequencies for maximum punch, clarity and detail – without raising overall volume

IGC (Interactive Gain Control) – combines clipper and program limiter for reliable, inaudible protection against signal peaks

De-Esser ‘must-have’ tool with switchable male/female voice recognition for reducing sibilance, while preserving natural voice timbre – often used to enhance upper-mid, to high-frequency smoothness in vocals, drum overheads, strings, etc.

Side Chain – allows insertion of graphic/parametric EQ to reduce specific frequencies also often used to ‘tighten up’ tracks using an internal or external signal to trigger compression, or gating of signal being processed (ex. using bass guitar signal to un-gate kick drum)

Stereo Couple – links ½ and ¾ channels, allowing dials and switches of Channels 1 and 3 to provide dynamics control over Channels 2 and 4, respectively (true stereo processing)

The MDX4600 features amazingly-accurate, 8-segment LED meters for In/Out Level and Gain Reduction, switchable +4 dBu or -10 dBV operating level, Side Chain I/O, and servo-balanced XLR and ¼ ” Inputs and Outputs. Best of all, the MULTICOM PRO-XL MDX4600 V2 takes up just a single rack space.
