Quick Summary

Four-channel rack dynamics processor for compression, gating and limiting of multiple signals simultaneously.

Product Description

Behringer Multicom Pro XL MDX4600 is a 4-channel dynamics processor designed for live and studio applications. Suitable for checking the dynamics of vocals, drums subgroup and more mono channels in rack setup.

Features and functions

  • 4 independent dynamics channels in 19 "rack
  • Compressor / limit / gate processing
  • Audio-interactive dynamics concept
  • Balanced line I / O (4 × in / 4 × out)
  • Suitable for multichannel live rack i studio inserts
  • Front-panel channel controls per section
  • Stereo / paid workflow according to type of connection

Controls

FRONT / TOP (user control)

  • Per- channel controls: triple, ratio, attack, release, gain
  • Per-channel mode switches (compressor / limiter / expander / gate)
  • Input / output LED metering
  • Power switch

Service / hidden elements

  • Verify the symmetry of all 4 channels and bypass / engage transitions without artifact.
  • Complete the exact description of the read connectors according to the rear panel photos.

Typical routing

  • Drum subgroup dynamics: Using multiple MDX4600 channels for drum subgroups.
    • Insert bus / kick / snare / signal up to 4 channels
    • Configure Threshold / Ratio / Release by Material
    • Return outputs to mix or record chain
Connection instructions: The examples below show typical signal flows in practice. For specific details (jitter, buffering), see section above.
