MULTICOM PRO-XL MDX4600/COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600/AUTOCOM PRO-XL MDX1600 User Manual

Safety relay 
The design of the COMPOSER PRO-XL incorporates the so-called safety relays, 

which set the unit to bypass in case of a power failure or other malfunctions. 

Additionally, these relays are used to implement a switch-on delay, so as to 

suppress harmful switch-on thumps.

Balanced inputs and outputs 
The BEHRINGER dynamics processors from the PRO-XL series are equipped with 

electronically balanced inputs and outputs. The automatic servo function detects 

any unbalanced plugs connec-ted and adjusts the nominal level internally, so as 

to make sure that there is no difference in level between the input and output 

signals (6-dB correction).

1.1.1  Shipment
Your COMPOSER PRO-XL, AUTOCOM PRO-XL or MULTICOM PRO-XL was carefully 

packed at the factory and the packaging is designed to protect the unit from 

rough hand-ling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the 

packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage which may have 

occurred during transit.

1.1.2  Initial operation
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling and, to avoid 

overheating, please do not place it on power amplifiers, near radiators etc.

The fuse holder at the AC power connector has 3 triangular markings. Two of 

these three triangles are aligned with one another. The unit is set to the 

voltage shown next to these markings and can be switched over by turning the 

fuse holder by 180°. IMPORTANT: This does not apply to export models 

The mains connection is made using the enclosed power cord and a standard IEC 

receptacle. It meets all of the international safety certification requirements.

1.1.3  Warranty
Please take the time to fill in and return the warranty card within 14 days after 

the date of purchase, so as to benefit from our extended warranty. The serial 

number is printed on the top side of the unit. Or register online at behringer.com.

This manual has been designed to give you a survey of all control elements and 

at the same time provide you with detailed information on how to use them. 

To help you understand what each control does, we have grouped the control 

elements according to function. If you need more detailed information on specific 

topics, please visit our website at behringer.com, where you will find for example 

explanations of in-detail dynamics applications.

This chapter describes the various control elements of your dynamics processor. 

All controls are explained in full detail, including useful suggestions on how to 

use them.
The COMPOSER PRO-XL and AUTOCOM PRO-XL feature two identical channels, the 

MULTICOM PRO-XL four of them.

Fig. 2.1: Linking channels with the COUPLE switch

(1) 

Pressing the COUPLE switch links the channels. In couple mode, 

dynamics are controlled by using channel 1 switches and controls, whereby 

the control signal is derived from the energy of both side chain channels 

(true stereo processing). Therefore, all switches and controls of channel 2 

(except for IN/OUT, SC EXT, SC MON, LO CONTOUR, TUBE, DE-ESSER, MALE, 

ENHANCER, I/O METER switches and OUTPUT, DE-ESSER LEVEL and ENHANCER 

LEVEL controls) will be disabled when you activate the COUPLE switch. 

On the MDX4600, channel 3 controls channel 4 in link mode.

Fig. 2.2: Expander/gate section control elements

(2) 

Use the TRIGGER control in the expander/gate section to determine the 

threshold below which expansion sets in, so that signals below threshold are 

reduced in gain. The setting range is from OFF to +10 dB.

(3) 

If a signal below the adjusted value is applied, the red LED (expansion on) 

lights up. If the signal gain is above the adjusted value, the green LED 

lights up.

(4) 

In order to adapt the expander/gate optimally to the program material, 

use the RELEASE switch to select a short or long release time. 

Percussive material with little or no reverb at all is usually processed with 

a short release time (switch not pressed). The long release time is the best 

choice for slowly decaying or heavily reverberated signals (switch pressed).

(5) 

The GATE switch allows you to toggle between the expander 

(switch not pressed) and the gate function (switch pressed). 

Use the gate function to mute signals below threshold (e.g. noise).
