AUTOCOM PRO MDX1400
Gate section can be used as an independent unit to eradicate noise offering almost limitless possibilities
within this application.
The BEHRINGER Dynamic Enhancer
One of the most common negative effects of broadband compressors is the “dulled” or “squashed” sound that
is produced when it is applied to composite music, since high-energy low frequency instruments cause a
compressor to reduce the overall gain. Any high frequency instrument which occurs at the same time will also
be reduced in level. This “spectral intermodulation” causes the “squashed” sound effect.
The solution to this problem is the new AUTOCOM PROs Dynamic Enhancer which allows for selective
replacement of high-end loss accrued through use of compression. Since the Enhancer tracks the amount of
compression, enhancement will not be added when no compression throughout the mix without any additional
outboard enhancer etc.

The following instructions should familiarize you with the special terms used first, so that you
can get to know all the functions of the unit. After you have read the instructions carefully,
please put them away safely, so that you can refer to them again if necessary.
1.2 Before you begin
Your BEHRINGER AUTOCOM PRO was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging is designed to
protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging
and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.
+
If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the
shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be
granted. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.
The BEHRINGER AUTOCOM PRO fits into one standard 19" rack unit of space. Please allow at least an
additional 4" depth for the connectors on the back panel.
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling and please do not place the ULTRA-GRAPH PRO
on high temperature devices such as power amplifiers etc. to avoid overheating.
+
Before you connect your AUTOCOM PRO to the mains, please make sure that your local volt-
age matches the voltage required by the unit!
The fuse holder on the female mains connector has 3 triangular markers, with two of these triangles opposing
each other. Your AUTOCOM PRO is set to the operating voltage printed next to these markers, and can be set
to another voltage by turning the fuse holder by 180°. CAUTION: this instruction does not apply to export
models exclusively designed, e.g., for 115 V operation!
The mains connection of the AUTOCOM PRO is made by using the enclosed mains cable and a standard IEC
receptacle. It meets all of the international safety certification requirements.
+
Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection. For your own safety, never
remove or disable the ground conductor of the unit or of the AC power cable.
