1074

Quad Noise Gate

®

The latest addition to the 10 Series product line, the dbx 1074 QuadGate , is the perfect
companion to the 1066 and 1046. The 1074 offers 4 channels of gating with threshold, depth
and release controls on each channel. The 1074, like the rest of the products in dbx’s 10
Series, is based on the legendary dbx V2 VCA and offers XLR inputs and outputs, and 1/4”
Key input. In addition to an external key input per channel, the 1074 also has an internal fil­ter that can be independently activated and controlled on a channel-per-channel basis. This
filter allows the 1074 to not only clean up tracks, but gives you frequency selective control
on each gate, to open exactly when you want it to. These features combined, make the
1074 an absolute must for those who require quad gating on applications including: Gating
dry and percussive sounds such as snare drum and kick drum, gating sounds that
have longer decay times such as cymbals and Pianos, gating hum or buzz from live
instruments or recorded tracks or

eliminating headphone leakage into microphones. Gating

instrument microphones to eliminate amplifier bleed.

From the company that has been redefining the standard of signal processing for more than
30 years, dbx

®

Professional Products comes a bulletproof product that caters to the scrutiniz-

ing needs of those who require the precision noise gating capabilities.
