== 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. | |||
