Audio Dynamics Toolkit

Here are just a few of the MDX1600’s outstanding capabilities:

• Switchable IKA (Interactive Knee Adaptation) – provides program-adaptive compression,

• Enhancer – lets you emphasize the Bass, Midrange and Hi output at selectable frequencies

• IGC (Interactive Gain Control) – combines clipper and program limiter for reliable,

• De-Esser – “must-have” tool for reducing sibilance in vocal mics, while preserving natural

• Side Chain – allows insertion of graphic/parametric EQ to reduce speci c frequencies – also

• Stereo Couple – links both channels, allowing Channel 1 dials and switches to provide

combining all the advantages of both hard and soft-knee compression

for maximum punch, clarity and detail – without raising overall volume

inaudible protection against signal peaks

voice timbre – often used to enhance upper-mid, to high-frequency smoothness in vocals,
drum overheads, strings, etc.

often used to “tighten up” tracks using an internal or external signal to trigger compression,
or gating of signal being processed (ex. using bass guitar signal to un-gate kick drum)

dynamics control over both channels (true stereo processing)

Options Abound

The MDX1600 features amazingly-accurate 12-segment LED meters for In/Out Level and
Gain Reduction, switchable +4 dBu or -10 dBV operating level, Side Chain I/O, and servo-balanced
