The Behringer MDX4600 V2 Multicom Pro-XL is an all-in-one dynamic processor in a space-saving 1U format. Empower yourself with a wide array of features from adaptive compression, an intuitive gate/expander as well as an ultra-fast and natural peak limiter, designed to clean and control your audio for optimised results.
Create larger-than-life, professional vocal sounds with the on board dynamic enhancer and de-esser. It’s hard to believe just how much the MDX4600 V2 packs into its rugged, compact, rack-mountable chassis. If you want to take your vocal and instrument performances to the next level then look no further than the MDX4600.
Internal switch-mode power supply
The Behringer MDX4600 V2 boasts an internal switch-mode PSU. This provides you with a solid, noise-free performance and much lower power consumption. You’ll be able to take the MDX4600 V2 anywhere in the world thanks to its working voltage range of 100V to 240V.
Complete dynamics-processing toolkit
Whether you’re looking for a portable or permanently-installed dynamics solution for your stage or studio, the MDX4600 V2 is the ultimate all-in-one choice. This powerful outboard rack unit gives you everything you need to shape the dynamic quality of your sound to suit your every want and need.
- Expander/gate:This section features a TRIGGER control. This allows you to set the threshold at which the signal reacts to either the expander or gate. By adjusting the release switch you’ll be able to optimise the MDX4600 V2 to suit the needs of your specific material. Short times are ideal for when you’re working with percussive sounds. Longer times are great for sources that decay slower or heavily reverberated signals. That is unless you want to achieve that classic Phil Collins / Hugh Padgham ’80’s drum sound. The final control in this section is the GATE switch. This allows you to quickly switch between the expander and gate functions with ease.
- Compressor:Although the MDX4600 V2 features the traditional threshold, ratio and output controls that are traditionally associated with compressors Behringer have added some additional features for a powerful performance. With switchable IKA (Interactive Knee Adaptation), the MDX4600 V2 provides you with adaptive compression that combines the advantages of both hard and soft-knee compression. On top of this, a LO CONTOUR function activates a high-pass filter to prevent ‘pumping’ whilst attack and release settings can be controlled automatically using the switchable AUTO function. You can also choose whether the LED meters read the input signal or the output signal using the IN/OUT METER switch.
- De-esser:The MDX4600 V2 provides you with an integrated de-esser that is available when the compressor is active. It’s perfect for taming both harsh and brittle vocals and instrumentation, whether you’re on stage or in the studio.
- Peak limiter:Designed to limit your signal to an adjustable level, the MDX4600 V2 provides you with a powerful LIMITER control. When set completely to the right-hand side, the limiter is switched off. Turning the control to the left will reduce the level at which the peak limiter will take effect. The circuitry boasts an extremely fast ‘zero’ attack, allowing you to limit signal peaks without any overshoot. If your signal is limited for more than 20ms, the overall gain is reduced for about 1 second to avoid any strong and noticeable effects of limiting. A LIMIT LED will illuminate as soon as the limiter is active.
- Side chain connectivity:The unit’s Side Chain connectivity allows you to insert your own graphic/parametric EQs to control specific frequencies. It also allows you to ‘tighten up’ your tracks with an internal or external trigger signal for compression or gating.
Ultra-versatile compact design
The MDX4600 V2 packs a huge number of features into a compact 1U enclosure. You can achieve the same impressive results from this powerful unit that are often only associated with the use of multiple outboard effects units. On the front panel of the MDX4600 V2, you can take full advantage of separate 8-segment LED meters for your I/O levels and gain reduction, allowing for easy and precise monitoring at a glance. On top of this and the device’s diverse range of processing capabilities, the MDX4600 V2 also boasts side chain I/O connectivity, providing quick and easy integration with a variety of your equipment.
