The MX40 Punch Gate is a high performance, simple to use 1U four channel noise gate that offers the same extraordinary sonic character, ingenuity, and high technical specification that have made Drawmer the world standard in gating technology. The MX40 is the first low cost, truly professional gate to offer the features and performance typical of much more expensive noise gates.The MX40 is the first Drawmer product to feature proprietary Peak Punch circuitry which adds unique dynamic enhancement to the leading edge of percussive material, adding true punch to the performance. The MX40 also includes Drawmer's Frequency Conscious System (first introduced with the DS201 Dual Gate), which tunes the gate to react only to a specific frequency band, dramatically improving gate operation. The MX40 packs four channels of high power Drawmer gating into a single rack space, with controls and indicators designed to make set up faster and easier. The Drawmer MX40 Punch Gate offers improved signal definition in complex mixes by isolating desired signal from unwanted background noise. It is especially important in sound reinforcement and the recording of short term sounds such as percussion. The MX40 Punch Gate Frequency Conscious System 'opens' the gate only when a signal exceeds the threshold you set within a specific and variable frequency band. This enables the gate to distinguish between a snare and a high hat, tom-toms versus bass drum etc. Drawmer...
