This manual provides detailed instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your MDX1400 Autocom Pro to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

2. Кључне карактеристике

• Interactive Reference-Class 2-Channel Expander / Gate / Compressor / Enhancer.
• IKA (Interactive Knee Adaptation) compressor concept combines the advantages of "hard knee" and "soft knee" characteristics.
• Switchable high-pass filter in control signal path avoids low-frequency signals from dominating compressor.
• IRC circuit in expander/gate enables "inaudible" elimination of disturbing noise signals.
• Dynamic Enhancer for compression dependent equalization.
• Auto and manual mode compression.
• Separate IRC expander/gate circuits.
• Fully automatic or manually controllable attack and release times.
• Dual-mono or stereo ("true stereo") operation.
• Precise 12-segment LED displays for input/output levels and gain reduction.
• Switchable, external side chain input with side chain monitor function.
• Operating level switchable from +4 dBu to -10 dBV.
• Servo-balanced inputs and outputs.
• XLR and jack connectors.

3. Подешавање

Before connecting your MDX1400, ensure all audio equipment is powered off to prevent damage. The unit is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting.

3.1 Прикључак за напајање

Connect the supplied power cord to the AC inlet on the rear panel of the MDX1400 and then to a suitable power outlet. Ensure the voltagе одговара захтевима јединице.

3.2 Аудио везе

The MDX1400 features balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS jack connectors for both inputs and outputs. It operates as a two-channel unit, allowing for independent processing of two mono signals or linked stereo operation.

• Улази: Connect your audio source (e.g., mixer output, microphone preamplifier) to the INPUT connectors.
• Излази: Connect the OUTPUT connectors to the next stage in your audio chain (e.g., power amplifier, recording interface).
• Бочни ланац: The sidechain inputs and outputs allow for external control of the compressor/gate. For example, a kick drum signal can be used to "duck" a bass guitar track.

3.3 Operating Level Switch

On the rear panel, locate the operating level switch. Set it to +4 дБу for professional studio equipment or -10 дБВ for consumer-level equipment. Incorrect setting can lead to signal distortion or low signal-to-noise ratio.

4. Упутство за употребу

The MDX1400 offers intuitive controls for dynamic processing. Each channel has identical controls for independent or stereo-linked operation.

4.1 Секција експандера/капије

The expander/gate section is used to reduce unwanted noise and improve signal clarity by attenuating signals below a set threshold.

• PRAG: Sets the level below which the gate/expander will activate. Turn clockwise to increase the threshold (more aggressive gating).
• ИЗДАЊЕ: Controls how quickly the gate closes after the signal drops below the threshold. "FAST" for quick cuts, "SLOW" for smoother transitions.
• SC MON (Sidechain Monitor): Activates monitoring of the sidechain signal.
• SC EXT (Sidechain External): Engages the external sidechain input for the gate.

4.2 Секција компресора/лимитера

This section controls the dynamic range of your audio, making loud signals quieter and quiet signals louder, resulting in a more consistent and impactful sound.

• PRAG: Sets the level at which compression begins. Signals above this threshold will be compressed.
• ОДНОС: Determines the amount of compression applied. A ratio of 4:1 means that for every 4dB increase in input level above the threshold, the output level will only increase by 1dB.
• НАПАД: Controls how quickly the compressor reacts to signals exceeding the threshold. "AUTO" provides automatic adjustment.
• ИЗДАЊЕ: Controls how quickly the compressor returns to its uncompressed state after the signal drops below the threshold. "AUTO" provides automatic adjustment.
• ИЗЛАЗ: Adjusts the overall output level of the compressed signal.
• INTERACTIVE: Engages the IKA (Interactive Knee Adaptation) feature for a more natural compression characteristic.
• СЦ ФИЛТЕР: Activates a high-pass filter in the sidechain path to prevent low frequencies from triggering compression.
• ЛИМИТЕР: Engages the peak limiter function, preventing the signal from exceeding a set maximum level.

4.3 Enhancer Section

The dynamic enhancer adds clarity and presence to the compressed signal by subtly boosting high and low frequencies.

• ПРОЦЕС: Activates the enhancer.
• ИЗЛАЗ: Adjusts the amount of enhancement applied.

4.4 Stereo Link Operation

Притисните тастер СТЕРЕО ЛИНК button to link both channels for true stereo operation. In this mode, the controls of channel 1 will affect both channels equally, ensuring consistent dynamic processing for stereo sources.

4.5 LED мерача

The 12-segment LED meters provide visual feedback on input/output levels and gain reduction, allowing for precise monitoring of the dynamic processing.

5. Одржавање

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Behringer MDX1400, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Чишћење: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
• вентилација: Обезбедите одговарајућу вентилацију око уређаја како бисте спречили прегревање. Не блокирајте вентилационе отворе.
• Окружење: Operate the unit in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive dust or moisture.
• Снага: Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or when the unit will be unused for extended periods.
• Сервисирање: Сва сервисирања препустите квалификованом сервисном особљу. Не покушавајте сами да сервисирате уређај.
