The Behringer COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600 is an interactive, reference-class two-channel expander/gate/compressor/peak limiter with an integrated dynamic enhancer, de-esser and low contour filter, housed in a single space rack-mount chassis.
The unit is similar to the AUTOCOM PRO-XL MDX1600, but in addition, provides tube emulation and more compressor control.
Applicable to recording, mixing or mastering, the Behringer MDX2600 COMPOSER PRO-XL Compressor provides total dynamic control. Additionally, it features a unique adjustable IDE dynamic enhancer that provides subtle and very musical compensation for the bass “boost” effect that can result from heavy compression.
Features
Switchable program adaptive compression circuitry combines the advantages of both hard and soft knee characteristics
Adjustable dynamic enhancer with a level meter for boosting high frequencies under heavy compression
Interactive gain control peak limiting circuitry combines clipper and program limiter for reliable and inaudible protection against signal peaks
Switchable de-esser with switchable male/female voice recognition removes excess sibilance from vocal tracks
Interactive ratio control expander/gate circuitry for virtually inaudible noise suppression
Automatic or manual adjustable attack and release times
Switchable low contour filter prevents “pumping” due to low-frequency dominated compression
Switchable tube simulation for the extra “warmth” and transparency of classic tube circuitry
Stereo coupling function with independent output level settings
Switchable side-chain input with side-chain monitor function
Separate 12-segment LED meters for input/output levels and gain reduction
High-quality detented ALPS potentiometers and illuminated switches
Relay-controlled hard bypass switch with auto bypass function in the case of power failure
Servo balanced inputs and outputs with gold-plated XLR and 1/4″ TRS connectors
