The Behringer Composer PRO-XL MDX2600 is a dual-channel 1U rack-mount dynamics processor designed for live sound and studio recording. It serves as a versatile "multi-tool" by combining several dynamic effects—compression, limiting, expansion, gating, and de-essing—into a single unit.
Key Features
• Dynamic Processing Toolkit: Each of its two channels includes a compressor, peak limiter, expander, gate, and a voice-adaptive de-esser.
• Tube Simulation: Features switchable tube emulation to add harmonic warmth and transparency similar to classic tube compressors.
• Interactive Knee Adaptation (IKA): This circuit combines hard and soft-knee compression characteristics, allowing for program-adaptive results that maintain musicality.
• De-Esser: Specifically designed to remove excessive sibilance (hissing sounds like "S" or "T") from vocal tracks with switchable male/female recognition.
• Flexible Routing: Supports independent dual-mono or linked stereo operation. It also includes side-chain send/return points for advanced ducking or frequency-selective compression.
Specifications
• Connectivity: Equipped with servo-balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs.
• Metering: Separate 12-segment LED meters for each channel provide visual monitoring of gain reduction and input/output levels.
• Build: Standard 19-inch 1U rack-mountable chassis.
• Performance: Features a frequency response of 10 Hz to 70 kHz and very low distortion (0.02% typical).
