Behringer MDX1600 Autocom Pro-XL Processor

No longer available at zZounds
Behringer's MDX1600 Autocom processor features an interactive gain control to protect against signal peaks and a dynamic enhancer for more vivid sound.

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
- 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 read more gold-plated XLR connectors

Sound
It's really good for the price. It can be used in many applications. I've tried using it by sending my recording channel to it which is handy for removing room noise and controlling the dynamics while recording a wide variety of different sound sources. The stereo couple function comes in handy for stereo recording. It can handle high volumes considerably well, however it does tend to start pumping with lower frequencies at a point. The average joe wouldn't hear the difference between this unit and slightly more expensive units.
Features
It has all of the basic features you would expect in a standard stereo compressor. It has a ASDR section, a peak limiter, a dynamic enhancer, and an expander/gate.
Ease of Use
Its easy to use if you know how to use a compressor. The layout is quite straight forward.
Quality
Not sure how long it will last but I've had it for quite a while and it's still fine. I wouldn't really put it to the test (if it ain't broken, don't fix it). You can use it for hours and it won't overheat. The construction of the unit is considerably rugged. I would take this on travel with caution.
Value
It's a good bang for the buck.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't required any so far.
The Wow Factor
It didn't blow me away but it is worth the money.
