MCL-204

2-channel compressor/limiter,

with noise gate and side chain input.

For protecting vocal microphones or dynamically played instruments against overload, for equalizing level fluctuations, for emphasising a signal and for transferring analog recordings onto digital sound carriers (volume maximisation due to dynamic compression).

For each channel:

• 8-step LED level display, switchable to input signal or output signal
• 12-step LED attenuation display
• LED indicators for a perfect adjustment of the threshold values for expander/gate, compressor and limiter
• Servo-balanced inputs and outputs
• Bypass switch (hard bypass)
• Switch for hard or soft compression (soft knee)
• Threshold control and rate control for expander/gate
• Threshold, ratio, attack, release and output level controls for compressor
• Automatic mode attack/release for compressor
• Side chain mode for controlling the compressor via an additional external audio signal, with monitor function and low cut filter, can be switched on additionally
• Threshold control for limiter
• Selector switch +4dBu/-10dBv for internal level adjustments

Parallel control of both channels possible via one operating panel (link/stereo mode)
