MULTICOM PRO-XL MDX4600/COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600/AUTOCOM PRO-XL MDX1600 User Manual 1. Introduction With this new dynamics processor from the PRO-XL series you have acquired an extremely powerful and universal compressor which unites in one compact device all of those dynamics control functions that are most frequently used in practice: each channel has an independent compressor/limiter, expander/gate and peak limiter. Thus, virtually all dynamics processing problems can be remedied with little effort.
MULTICOM PRO-XL MDX4600/COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600/AUTOCOM PRO-XL MDX1600 User Manual Safety relay 1.2 The user’s manual The design of the COMPOSER PRO-XL incorporates the so-called safety relays, which set the unit to bypass in case of a power failure or other malfunctions. Additionally, these relays are used to implement a switch-on delay, so as to suppress harmful switch-on thumps.
MULTICOM PRO-XL MDX4600/COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600/AUTOCOM PRO-XL MDX1600 User Manual Application hints The purpose of using an expander is usually to expand the usable dynamics towards the lower end, i.e. to improve the separation between low-level signals and the unavoidable noise floor by reducing the noise level. Start setting up the expander by turning the TRIGGER control from position OFF clockwise until the LEDs show the onset of the gain reduction.
MULTICOM PRO-XL MDX4600/COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600/AUTOCOM PRO-XL MDX1600 User Manual (18) The OUTPUT control allows you to raise or lower the output signal by max. 20 dB, so as to make up for a gain loss caused by the compressor or limiter action. Raise the gain by roughly the same amount that it has been reduced by the compressor. The GAIN REDUCTION display (11) reads the value adjusted.
