Behringer MDX4600 MULTICOM PRO-XL 4 Channel Expander/Gate/Compressor/Peak Limiter

Behringer MDX4600 Overview

Four Channels of Pro-tested Dynamics

Harnessing the same dynamics control as Behringer’s popular 2-channel Composer Behringer MDX4600 MULTICOM PRO-XL 4 channel, the 4-channel Behringer MDX4600 MULTICOM PRO-XL 4 channel V2 is one of the most cost-effective expander/gate/compressor/limiters you’re going to find. Its Interactive Knee Adaptation (IKA) circuit keeps compression smooth and transparent, while Interactive Ratio Control (IRC) adds elegant subtlety to gate/expander functions. Stereo linking between channels 1/2 and 3/4 is super useful for bus processing, and the Multicom Pro-XL MDX4600 V2 even gives you switchable dynamic enhancement to add extra life to your content.

Time-tested Compression and Limiting

Generations of music producers and audio engineers have relied on Behringer’s Composer compressor/limiter models to reach their ideal sound. In fact, it’s one of the industry’s secret weapons. This Behringer MDX4600 MULTICOM PRO-XL 4 channel V2 includes four channels of that very same dynamics processing, complete with the acclaimed Interactive Knee Adaptation (IKA) circuit. This soft-knee processor adjusts the compression ratio on the fly, clamping down entirely only when your signal gets really hot. The result is super clean and super smooth—perfect for ironing out vocals, especially when you combine it with the Multicom Pro-XL MDX4600 V2’s switchable low contour filter.

Set-and-forget Expander and Gate

Expanders and gates can be incredibly useful, but they tend to be temperamental. Get your expander/gate dialed in perfectly, and it all goes belly up when the average level changes just a bit. Behringer’s Interactive Ratio Control (IRC) lets the Multicom Pro-XL MDX4600 V2 stay one step ahead of your material, adjusting instantly to keep your signal noise-free, without cutting off your transients.

Loaded with Useful Extras

There’s a lot more to the Behringer MDX4600 MULTICOM PRO-XL 4 channel V2 than basic dynamics management. For instance, while some compression (especially heavy compression) can leave your material sounding a little flat, the Behringer MDX4600 MULTICOM PRO-XL 4 channel V2 won’t let you down. Its switchable dynamic enhancer adds life and vitality to your material, no matter how hard you lay on the compression.

Need to process stereo material? With its independent stereo links, you can convert the first two and the second two channels into stereo pairs. Top it off with separate 8-segment LED meters, selectable input levels, and high-quality components including servo-balanced I/O, and you can see just how much value the Multicom Pro-XL MDX4600 V2 has to offer.
