MULTICOM PRO MDX4400
2. THE DESIGN CONCEPT
2.1 High Quality Components And Design
The philosophy behind BEHRINGER products guarantees a no-compromise circuit design and employs the best choice of components. The operational amplifiers NJM4580 which are used in the MULTICOM PRO, are exceptional. They boast extreme linearity and very low distortion characteristics. The most important aspect of the MULTICOM PRO design is a radical VCA implementation which results in outstanding technical specifica- tion and excellent performance. To complement this design the choice of components includes high tolerance resistors and capacitors, detent potentiometers and several other stringently selected elements.
For the first time, the MULTICOM PRO MDX 4400 uses SMD technology (Surface Mounted Device). These sub-miniature components known from aerospace technology allow for an extreme packing density, plus the unit’s reliability could be improved. Additionally, the unit is manufactured under ISO9000 certified management system.
2.2 Inputs And Outputs
2.2.1 Balanced Inputs And Outputs
As standard, the BEHRINGER MULTICOM PRO is installed with electronically servo-balanced inputs and outputs. The new circuit design features automatic hum and noise reduction for balanced signals and thus allows for trouble-free operation, even at high operating levels. Externally induced mains hum etc. will be effectively suppressed. The automatic servo-function recognizes the presence of unbalanced connectors and adjusts the nominal level internally to avoid level differences between the input and output signals (correction 6 dB).
