Product Description

Whether you're recording, mixing, or mastering, the Composer Pro-XL MDX2600 gives you total dynamic control. It includes all of the features you would expect from a reference class compressor - plus a voice-adaptive de-esser, a new dynamic enhancer, authentic tube emulation, and much more. These are some of the indispensable tools for producing clean, consistent audio with virtually no loss in signal quality.

Features:

- Switchable IKA (Interactive Knee Adaptation) program-adaptive compression circuitry combines the advantages of hard-knee and soft-knee characteristics
- Integrated de-esser with switchable male/female voice recognition removes excessive sibilance from your vocal tracks
- IGC (Interactive Gain Control) peak limiting circuitry combines clipper and program limiter for reliable and inaudible protection against signal peaks
- Switchable dynamic enhancer for brilliant, lively audio even with heavy compression
- IRC (Interactive Ratio Control) expander/gate circuitry for virtually inaudible noise suppression
- Switchable tube simulation for the extra warmth and transparency of classic tube circuitry
- 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 de-esser 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
- Relay-controlled hard bypass switch with auto bypass function in case of power failure
- Manufactured under ISO9000 certified management system zZounds is an authorized dealer of Behringer products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (51 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Maximum compression with complete"
Overall: I purchased this unit here at Zzounds. I am a single vocalist/guitarist and sometimes play with one or two others. My normal venue is a coffee shop. This unit provides two independent channels (which can be linked for stereo) so I can put voice on one channel and guitar on the other; this helps performance immensely, because the compression characteristics of voice and instrument are very different. The unit has useful (defeatable) automatic functions for attack and release, along with auto knee settings. The peak limiter also has an auto program limiter function. I picked mine up at 3:30 in the afternoon and had it up and running at a job by 5:30. It wasn't yet running optimally, but it was working, making things better. By the next day I had it tweaked to produce maximum benefit. This unit does two things for me: 1) it makes my amplification system more effective, because the compressed signal comes through with more power at any given amp setting. 2) it allows my music to "sit" above the ambient conversation level of the coffeehouse. Everyone can hear my music, even the softer parts, but the volume is not too high for customers to talk comfortably. Without compression I had to choose between being annoyingly loud or annoyingly inaudible (the quieter parts of the music could not be easily heard by customers.) The physical build is very high quality, the display is very nice, and the controls are exacting. The de-esser works well, as do the tube simulation and dynamic enhancer. The only shortcoming of this unit is the usual Behringer problem: an infuriatingly dense manual that is occasionally incorrect and is always hard to understand. But the unit itself is worth twice the price, and the results exceed expectations. If you are into recording or coffee shops, get this unit!
Style of Music: folk, blues, classic rock/pop

Behringer MDX2600 Customer Review
Sound: The sound of this thing is real nice. I've only tested it out, I jsut got it so I havent done alot of recording yet. So far, I can see where this piece of equipment can be very useful. Feature: the features all sounnd really nice. the compressor is good, the limiter is fine, and I'm really enjoying the enhancer feature that brings the brightness of the signal back after compression. Ease of Use: the manual doesnt give you the best details in the set up as far as giving examples, but I didnt have much of a problem figuring it out. I'm not by far the best with learning new equipment on my own, but if I can do it, any one with any common knowledge can. Quality: I cant find a flaw. I mean, its not built like a tank, but I dont need a tank in my studio. Value: for the price, you can't beat the quality of this thing. You get more for less. Manufacturer Support: I've had a few Behringer products and I've never had the pleasure of dealing with the customer service reps.
