Before You Begin - Behringer Autocom Pro MDX1400 User Manual

Gate section can be used as an independent unit to eradicate noise offering almost limitless possibilities
within this application.
The BEHRINGER Dynamic Enhancer
One of the most common negative effects of broadband compressors is the “dulled” or “squashed” sound that
is produced when it is applied to composite music, since high-energy low frequency instruments cause a
compressor to reduce the overall gain. Any high frequency instrument which occurs at the same time will also
be reduced in level. This “spectral intermodulation” causes the “squashed” sound effect.
The solution to this problem is the new AUTOCOM PROs Dynamic Enhancer which allows for selective
replacement of high-end loss accrued through use of compression. Since the Enhancer tracks the amount of
compression, enhancement will not be added when no compression throughout the mix without any additional
outboard enhancer etc.
