"Read Me Before You Buy This Compressor!!!"

Feature:
For this price, it's PACKED with features. Dynamic Enhancer function works really well...but I suspect that it is more of a stopgap measure to make up for cheap VCA's... The sound is really all that matters, however. The peak limiter is not nearly as effective as the DBX model 166 that I own...

Quality:
Well Made...Behringer is strange. Some products (consoles, EQ's) are absolute crap. However, the dynamics processors that they offer (esp. the solid-state models) are easy to use, and well made. I would keep a backup of this model if I were going to take it touring...but when I go on the road, I have a backup of LITERALLY everything that I need to perform, and then some.

Value:
Couldn't be any better without stealing it!

Desirability:
Can a compressor be sexy? I mean, it looks OK in my rack....but the ladies usually want to know what an "Aural Exciter" is!....(then I give and get examples of how "Aural" and "Oral" are two different things!)

Sound:
Not Noisy. If you know how to use a compressor, you will be able to use this unit and be satisfied with the results. Can be rather transparent, but does not handle "pumping and breathing" all that well. What I mean, is that for special effect compression... you want a different unit...probably an LA-2A, or 1176. In a pinch, you can make this unit pump and spit....but it distorts at over 16-17 dBu...

Support:
Have not dealt with support persay, BUT, I did choose the output transformer option (instead of servo-balanced) and they handled the task quickly and with aplomb.

Overall:
I have many compressors (13 channels total)...this is just another pair of options that I have. Try chaining the compressors together in an insert.... Insert input to Channel 1...tie channel 1 & 2 together with a patch/XLR cable, and Insert Output to Channel 2.....very nice and smooth series compression....or very flexible compressor--->limiter

This compressor of its price range comes with side chain and XLR balanced inputs which removes hum. Should be the best among the cheap range of compressors. BEHRINGER, you r the best.dynamic enhancer and soft knee attack are gorgeous in its performances. So many and yet so less money you pay...What more you expect. You get professional results..Best!

Easy

Support:
Friendly and responsible support team

Description

News
The Autocom Pro-XL MDX1600 is loaded with many of the same features as the Composer Pro-XL. Additionally it features a unique adjustable IDE dynamic enhancer that provides subtle and very musical compensation for the bass "boost" effect that results from heavy compression.

Features
Switchable IKA (Interactive Knee Adaptation) program-adaptive compression circuitry combines the advantages of hard-knee and soft-knee characteristics

Adjustable dynamic enhancer with level meter for brilliant, lively audio even with heavy compression

IGC (Interactive Gain Control) peak limiting circuitry combines clipper and program limiter for reliable and inaudible protection against signal peaks

Switchable de-esser removes excessive sibilance from your vocal tracks

IRC (Interactive Ratio Control) expander/gate circuitry for virtually inaudible noise suppression

Automatically or manually adjustable attack and release times

Switchable low contour filter prevents "pumping" due to low-frequency dominated compression

Stereo couple function with independent output level settings

Switchable side chain input with side chain monitor function

Ultra low-noise 4580 operational amplifiers and state-of-the-art THAT VCA's

Separate 12-segment LED meters for input/output levels and gain reduction

Dedicated "traffic light" threshold and enhancer level displays

High-quality detented ALPS potentiometers and illuminated switches

Servo-balanced inputs and outputs with 1/4 in. TRS and gold-plated XLR connectors

Manufactured under ISO9000 certified management system
