The reference-class MDX1600 is a
marvelous dual-channel Expander/
Gate/Compressor/Peak Limiter that
is ideal for: compressing mono or
stereo signals, without loss of high
frequencies; increasing vocal presence
and energy; and limiting, or smoothing
out extremely-high signal peaks.
Additionally, the MDX1600 features
an integrated Dynamic Enhancer,
De-Esser, and Low-Contour lter to
provide the ultimate in signal enrichment. Put simply, the MDX1600 can
do amazing things for your vocals or instruments – providing virtually

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
XLR and ¼ " Inputs and Outputs. Best of all, the AUTOCOM PRO-XL MDX1600 takes up just a
single rackspace.
