BEHRINGER/COMBINATOR MDX8000


 

it is a great machine of the phantom this time. 'it reports on Compressor limiter MDX8000 of BEHRINGER that has become it.

is it a great machine of the phantom why?. it is because the sale has been discontinued because a part of the electric circuit used for MDX8000 collided with the patent that other manufacturers own. The system of production became China production in Germany with prohibition of sale in the place that hung in full scale in sales promotion aiming at the moving world. The China production goods exist the product of BEHRINGER and the Germany production goods and the China production goods exist in Japan for not but and MDX8000.
 
 
What is COMBINATOR ?

This equipment is a certain kind of compound machine. it is a translation that is combined leveller/compressor/limiter, and calls COMBINATOR. The balance of the leveller and the compressor can be done only with one VR though it is a compound machine. A set point of the limiter is done with one VR. Not but the example is not seen except that it retreats and the Full auto operation is achieved, and the processor for high performance FM Broadcast though it is an analogue equipment.
 

 

 

BEHRINGER that meets first

it is the previous thing that I knew this MDX8000 by about ten years. There is a chance to work with a well informed person about the sound equipment because of work when whether you were going to know it may be cheap by multi band Compressor for FM Broadcast had listened, the material of MDX8000 was very sent to me who was looking for a multi band Compressor limiter by fax one week later at that time though the equipment for broadcasting was said that it did not understand. Politely examine to the agency,
and the shop that still treated the product of BEHRINGER was about ten years fewer.

that reached agency from Germany MDX8000 for about one month after it orders.
 
 
Sound of BEHRINGER

The impression of the sound to which it listens for the first time is and, then natural the sound in there is no habit, the first impression. sound that feels something Do though it is Frequency response= flat without the habit natural?
MDX8000 seems to have it is possible to color slight there in a recent BEHRINGER product. it is an uncertain place whether this is a peculiar thing to my MDX8000 though the characteristic to understand the true colors of the sound in which something is felt a little is observed when Frequency response is measured with the response tracer. When listening to the sound of the China production goods back, I felt the difference of a slight sound. !
it listens to the sound even if it hears it at a long time and, anyway, I think BEHRINGER for a sound not tired to exist in the basis of Broadcast though it thinks this mystery to be able to solve it easily if both are measured.
 


Then, I will see contents as usual.

Luxurious parts develop with a huge base on a side of the case the first grade of when beginning. Do not receive the impression from this making to there is exactly Germany spirit.
 

 
 

is a basic layout without uselessness Germany's workman spirit? The work of art has already been reached.
if the digital device is flooded in the future, such a product might not be seen.
 

By the way, it has the compression amplifier with a different function in three systems in one band, and, therefore, the full auto operation of attack & release has been achieved though MDX8000 is a multi band Compressor limiter of four bands and exists though it is analog. The compression amplifier in 24 systems develops with the circuit because they are four stereo bands.

Each section is queuing up VR for the adjustment of the compression amplifier.
 
 

The condition of emitting a good sound in an analog amplifier is in an enough electric power, the power supply of MDX8000 composes a single power supply, and 24V +/- power supply is composed of 15V. The single 24 the V is a high voltage not so used in the amplifier of this class.
 
Because the "troy dal transformer" electric power used that analog promises BEHRINGER like the example is large, it is rolled in a thick core.
 
+/- power supply can be adjusted by changeable voltage regulator's IC being used. Are there any meanings about +/- to take both adjustments only in case of the original balance though it is sure to end only in one side?
 

Two systems input/output to the equipment of BEHRINGER in this age. As for the sub base seen in DSP9024, the Canon connector that has not been used yet is installed alone.

 

The Pre-emphasis a circuit and De-emphasis circuit queue up forward in level switch SW and emphasis switch SW of I/O.

The emphasis for FM Broadcast is 25us/50us/75us. it operates as a usual mastering processor if it uses it by turning off.

All sections can fine-tune it without omitting I/O level control VR etc.
 
 
 

 
Driver who develops on the back side of LED array where level is displayed The substrate of the circuit is enabled and the display with high accuracy is enabled. MBalance control of leveller/Compressor also that is feature of MDX8000
 
 

Peak indicator of each band Level control VR has been integrated by the contained base.
The glimpse of the layout technology of present BEHRINGER is felt
 
 


 

Because the restriction of the upper bound frequency has been received by the pilot audio signal of FM stereo signal, it is large in a basic quality and influences it to emit a good sound whether the signal with a clean without the distortion low frequency band region being able to be reproduced.
Recently Europe frequency modulation broadcasting audio signal low frequency band how reproduce say respect value circuit design equipment. 'a lot see technology arrive all same !
anyway low frequency signal high frequency signal multiply region signal distort all sound become impure region signal distort powerful enemy thing become.
By the way, latest FM Exciters of Europe has sales of the signal of 10Hz coming by reproduction.
 
BEHRINGER is great. !!

When this MDX8000 had already been developed, was the low region signal characteristic of the frequency modulation broadcasting valued ?

BAND-1 is a setting from 10Hz.

it is the one that it also wants the certain digital device manufacturer to learn posture to the sound.
digital audio originally, must be advantageous for low region signal characteristic.
Do basically though it would be better to be able to reproduce from DC ?
Let's attenuate the signal of 20Hz or less and stop the cheated thing.

All the sounds die for the Bad equipment.
 
 
 
 

This MDX8000 is made in Germany.

Power consumption is such strapping though the method isn't in there is a lot of power consumption to maintain this sound and it is not possible to know in what.

As for MDX8000, contents are not imaginable in an interesting thing from the face. As for the face, I/O is only simply arranged. The analogue machine that can digest doesn't see the example with not but retreat Full auto basic processing another...

 

MDX8000 is a recommended equipment in the person who is looking for the processor for FM Broadcast though seems for obtaining to become difficult few in the future in the number of sales in Japan.
 
 
There is Germany spirit. 'it listened to "mai kuraki" with Pure German sound ?
to a familiar person and the Future..This is broadcast.
