The reference-class MDX2600 is an outstanding dual-channel audio signal processor. It's perfect for compressing mono or stereo signals, suppressing noise almost inaudibly without losing high frequencies. It boosts vocal presence and energy, and limits or smooths out extremely high signal peaks. Moreover, it comes with an integrated Dynamic Enhancer, De-Esser, Low-Contour filter, and a revolutionary switchable Tube simulation for the warm and transparent sound of classic tube circuitry. In short, the MDX2600 can work wonders on your vocals or instruments, offering all you need for studio-quality dynamics processing! Key features include switchable IKA program - adaptive compression for the best of hard - knee and soft - knee, an integrated De - Esser with male/female voice recognition to remove sibilance, IGC peak limiting for reliable signal protection, a switchable Dynamic Enhancer for lively audio, IRC expander/gate for noise suppression, a switchable Tube simulation, adjustable attack and release times, a switchable Low contour filter to prevent 'pumping', a stereo couple function with independent output levels, a switchable side chain input with monitor, separate LED meters for input/output and gain reduction, dedicated 'traffic light' displays, servo - balanced inputs/outputs, a relay - controlled hard bypass switch, and an internal switch - mode power supply for noise - free audio and low power consumption.
Using the MDX2600 is quite straightforward. First, connect your audio source to the servo - balanced inputs using ¼' TRS or gold - plated XLR connectors. You can adjust the attack and release times either automatically or manually according to your needs. Use the switchable functions like the Dynamic Enhancer, Tube simulation, and Low contour filter to get the sound you want. For vocal tracks, the De - Esser with male/female voice recognition can help remove excessive sibilance. When it comes to peak limiting, the IGC circuitry provides reliable protection. And if you're working with stereo signals, the stereo couple function with independent output level settings is very useful. As for maintenance, keep the device in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. The internal switch - mode power supply helps keep power consumption low and audio noise - free, but make sure to use a proper voltage within the 100 - 240 V~ range. In case of a power failure, the relay - controlled hard bypass switch with auto bypass function will protect your audio setup.
