COMPOSER PRO MDX2200

COMPOSER® PRO

Interactive 2-channel expander/gate/compressor/limiter of the reference class

IKA (Interactive Knee Adaptation) compressor concept combines the advantages of “hard knee” and “soft

knee” characteristics

MDX2200

 

Attack and release times controllable automatically or manually

Switchable high-pass filter in control signal path avoids low-frequency signals from dominating compressor action

Compression characteristics switchable between IKA and “hard knee” characteristics

IRC circuit in expander/gate allows for “inaudible” elimination of disturbing noise signals

IGC (Interactive Gain Control) peak limiter combines clipper with program limiter circuits

Extremely low-noise operational amplifiers and high-grade VCA’s

High-quality detent potentiometers and backlit switches

Stereo couple function selectable with real totaling of RMS output

Accurate 12-digit LED meters for input level, output level and gain reduction

Traffic-light function for easy threshold setting

Switchable side chain input with side chain monitor function

Operating level switchable from +4 dBu to -10 dBV

Servo-balanced inputs and outputs featuring 6.3 mm TRS and XLR connectors

High-grade output transformer BEHRINGER OT-1 can be retrofitted

Relay-controlled hard-bypass switch with auto-bypass function (failsafe relay)

Manufactured under ISO9000 certified management system
