== Compressors at YSTV ==
== Compressors at YSTV ==
There are a couple of different types of compressors in YSTV.
There are a couple of different types of compressors in YSTV. Most are operated by dials on the front and may (or may not) include the following:
 
*Expander/Gate - if the input is below the threshold level, the output is either silenced (Gate) or increased (Expander)
*Compressor - the part that the whole unit takes it's name from. If the input is above the threshold level, the output is reduced by a certain amount, defined by the ratio.
*Limiter - if the input is above the threshold level, the output is reduced to the threshold
*Channel couple - useful if you're compressing a stereo pair of channels. Anything that happens to one channel also happens to the other.
 
== MDX 2100 ==
 
The Behringer MDX 2100 is a two-channel compressor/expander/gate/limiter - as in it has all of this built into one unit. Useful for compressing the main outputs from the [[Sound board|desk]].
 
== MDX 2200 ==
Also a Behringer and mostly the same as the MDX 2100.
 
== MDX 4400 ==
Functionally similar to the MDX 4600.
 
== MDX 4600 ==
We have two of these Behringer banks. This one contains four compressor channels, which can be coupled in two pairs. Less options than the MDX 2100/2200, so more useful for individual microphones.
