Behringer MDX4600 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 15

(19) The 12-digit INPUT/OUTPUT LEVEL
display (MDX4600: 8-digit) reads both
the level of the incoming audio signal
and the level at the dynamics processor
output. The range is from -30 to +18 dB
(MDX4600: -24 to +18 dB).
(20) The IN/OUT METER switch selects whether
the gain LEDs read the input signal
(switch not pressed) or the output signal
(switch pressed).
(21) The IN/OUT switch activates the
corresponding channel. It provides a
so-called "hard bypass", i.e. if it is OUT or
the unit is not connected to the mains,
the input jack will be linked directly to the
output jack (MDX2600 only). Usually, this
switch is used for direct A/B comparison
between unprocessed and compressed/
limited signals.
(22) ENHANCER switch. Activates the
dynamic enhancer, which boosts treble only
during compression to give a more natural
frequency balance.
(23) LEVEL control (MDX2600). Instead of an
adjustable enhancer, the MDX2600 has
a controllable de-esser, which helps you
eliminate hiss noise contained in the
audio signal. The LEVEL control determines
the amount of frequency suppression.
(24) DE-ESSER LEVEL (MDX2600). The LED chain
reads the current attenuation within a range
from +3 to +12 dB.
(25) MALE switch. This switch adapts the
de-esser to the male (switch pressed)
or female registers (not pressed).
(26) IN/OUT switch. Switches the de-esser on
and off.
NOTE: The De-esser can only function while
compression is being applied.
(27) The peak limiter limits the signal to an
adjustable level. When the LIMITER control
is turned fully to the right, the limiter is
switched off. Owing to its extremely fast
"zero" attack, this circuit is capable of
limiting signal peaks without any overshoot.
If the signal is limited for more than 20 ms,
the overall gain is reduced for about 1 s to
avoid strong and thus audible limiter effects.
(28) The LIMIT LED lights up as soon as the limiter
is on.
(29) MAINS CONNECTION.
(30) OUTPUTS. These are the audio outputs
of your dynamics processor. The two
matching 1/4" TRS and XLR connectors are
wired in parallel and balanced. Of course,
unbalanced cables can be connected here
as well.
OPERATING LEVEL switch. This switch can
(31)
be used to adapt the MDX2600 or MDX4600
to various operating levels, i.e. to toggle
between home recording level (-10 dBV) and
studio level (+4 dBu). The level meters will
be referenced automatically to the nominal
level adjusted, so that the compressor works
in its optimum operating range.
(32) INPUTS. These are the audio inputs. They are
also on balanced 1/4" TRS and XLR connectors.
SIDECHAIN SEND. This is the unbalanced
(33)
sidechain output, which allows you to
route the audio signal to other devices for
external processing.
(34) SIDECHAIN RETURN. The sidechain input
allows you to use an external signal or the
processed (e.g. with an equalizer) audio
signal routed from the SIDECHAIN SEND jack
to control your MDX2600.
