  • Behringer MDX4400, 6 MULTICOM PRO MDX4400 1. INTRODUCTION In purchasing the MULTICOM PRO, you have acquired an extremely efficient and universal dynamics processor. The unit was particularly designed for those applications most frequently used in practice. Despite the extremely complex internal circuitry, the unit has a control surface which is clearly laid out and easy to understand. With the MULTICOM PRO, BEHRINGER have developed an innovative and easy-to-use dynamics processor which meets the high demands that a

After the level falls below the thresh- old, the signal returns to the original value after a period of about 1 second. This IGC circuit proves to be extremely valuable as much for live work (loudspeaker protection) as for digital situations, where any extreme signal peaks would exceed the maximum headroom and therefore would cause severe problems. + The following instructions should initially familiarize you with the special terms used, so that you

  • Behringer MDX4400, 9 MULTICOM PRO MDX4400 1.1.3 Compressors/Limiters By measuring the dynamic range of musical instruments in live recording situations, you will find that extreme amplitudes occur which often lead to overload in subsequent signal processing equipment. Especially in broadcasting and record cutting techniques, these signal peaks can lead to heavy distortion. To avoid this kind of distortion or, for example, to avoid loudspeakers being damaged by overload, compressors or limiters are used. The principal function used in these devices is dependent on an automatic gain control as ment

  • Behringer MDX4400, 14 MULTICOM PRO MDX4400 7 The 8-digit GAIN REDUCTION meter indicates how effectively the gain is reduced by the compressor, within a range from 1 to 30 dB. 8 The 8-digit INPUT/OUTPUT LEVEL meter informs youdepending on the setting of the I/O METER switchabout the current input or output level, within a range from -24 to +18 dB. When the switch is set to IN (not engaged), the meter reads the input level, when it is OUT, the output level is displayed. The meter is referenced to the operating level (-10 dBV or +4 dBu) adjusted with the OPERATING LEVEL switch on the back. 9 The peak limiter limits the signal to a level adjusted with the THRESHOLD control.

  • Behringer MDX4400, 16 MULTICOM PRO MDX4400 5. APPLICATIONS In this section, several typical applications of the BEHRINGER MULTICOM PRO are discussed. The following basic settings can resolve most dynamic problems. They are the ideal starting point. Please take the time to study the application examples carefully, in order to be able to make full use of the MULTICOM PROs capabili- ties in the future. Main Applications And Initial Settings The main applications of the BEHRINGER MULTICOM PRO can be divided into two categories: The compressor section is used to compress the program material and to create special effects and unusual sounds, which are used f

  • Behringer MDX4400, 17 MULTICOM PRO MDX4400 5.2 Compressor Section The task of a compressor is to reduce the dynamic range of program material and to control the overall level. The extensive controls of the Compressor section, provide a great range of dynamic effects: from musical and soft compression to limiting signal peaks, right up to extreme and effective compression of the overall dynamics. For example, a low ratio and very low threshold setting can be used to achieve soft and musical processing o

  • Behringer MDX4400, 20 MULTICOM PRO MDX4400 6. SPECIAL APPLICATIONS 6.1 Using The MULTICOM PRO For Recording And Cassette Duplication In the recording and duplication field the goal should always be to achieve an optimum recording level onto the recording media. Too low or too high recording levels lead to side effects such as noise, distortion etc. In mastering and multitrack recording, as well as in duplication, one should always take care to utilize the full dynamic range of the tape recorder, DAT recorder etc. Principally, it is possible to control the recording level by riding faders, which means with low level si

  • Behringer MDX4400, 22 MULTICOM PRO MDX4400 6.3 The MULTICOM PRO In Broadcast The main aim of processing sound recordings for commercial radio and television is to achieve a maximum transmission volume at all costs. Owners of these radio and television stations strive to get bigger audience ratings, because principally, radio programs whose reception is louder than the average are preferred by the listener. By achieving a bigger audience, the broadcast station gains more money from the increasing number of promotion companies placing adverts. What is volume? Volume is defined as the relationship between the average level of program material to pe
