Looking for a multi-tool for stage and studio? The Behringer Composer Pro-XL MDX2600 Compressor is a dual-channel compressor/limiter/expander ready to take on your biggest challenges.

Rated 5/5
Can't really go wrong at this price
Part of my first ever rack cabinet. Realized I needed to take some load off my cpu and this was my first unit. I use compresser on everything so instead of my Cali or PulpnPeel, I went rack. Not a bad choice. It's definitely a place holder until I make a big boy purchase but the gate, enhancer, and de-esser are features that punch way above its weight class. I've always been a fan of behringher so this one was a no brainer

SOLID compressor
Alot options for beginners and professionals. Easy to use with well detailed control functions. I like the tube and enhancement button features and the gate and desser are really easy to use. Paired with the different mics and messing around with recording and sound it offers alot of fun and enjoyment. It does have additional functions I may never use but the price is right on point or better than models with "less"
Music background: I play everything with strings. I am also a recording enthusiest

Noticeable and yet subtle, with an accent of oak or blackberry. Or, whatever you dial in...
This thing works good, esp. for the money. Keeps the sounds of many inputs balanced and less "too live" sounding than without. Convenient rack form factor seems well built / durable. I like the dials' click levels.
The automatic settings seem functional without being overbearing.
These observations are for live setup using 2 mics, acoustic guitar with bass & synth pedals & looping, and drummer on electronic kit playing acoustic rock. When gigging, I think it helps present a better live sound all around. Def. tames balance across inputs, post mixer.

Great product for the price
First off, Sweetwater had this shipped and delivered in less than 24 hours... on a weekend. Wow! Second, this is a fantastic bit of kit for amateur radio. I don't have a treated room to use, so I needed a pretty good noise gate to keep out the sounds of fans running, amps kicking in, dogs barking, and my son who can't seem to figure out the volume control on the TV. This thing is running like a champ. I have tried to hammer as much mic gain into it as I could to see where the gate would just give up, and it held. The compressor and limiter works great too under a load, way too hot for the radio to handle. It's a keeper in this small station for sure.
Thanks Sweetwater!
