dbx 1074 Description
The latest addition to the 10 Series product line, the dbx® 1074 QuadGate™, is
the perfect companion to the 1066 and 1046. The 1074 offers 4 channels of
gating with threshold, depth and release controls on each channel. The 1074,
like the rest of the products in dbx 10 Series, is based on the legendary dbx
V2 VCA and offers XLR inputs and outputs, and 1/4” side-chain input. In
addition to an external key input per channel, the 1074 also has an internal
filter that can be independently activated and controlled on a
channel-per-channel basis. This filter allows the 1074 to not only clean up
tracks, but gives you frequency selective control on each gate, to open exactly
when you want it to. These features combined, make the 1074 an absolute must for
those who require quad gating on applications including: Gating dry and
percussive sounds such as snare drum and kick drum,gating sounds that have
longer decay times such as cymbals and Pianos, gating hum or buzz from live
instruments or recorded tracks or eliminating Headphone leakage into
microphones. Gating instrument microphones to eliminate amplifier bleed.
From the company that has been redefining the standard of signal processing for
more than 30 years, dbx® Professional Products comes a bulletproof product that
caters to the scrutinizing needs of those who require the precision noise
gating capabilities. Once again, the engineering staff at dbx Professional
Products have taken technology that has been over three decades in the making
and have created a product that is flexible, versatile and rock solid in
construction design. The 1074’s independent channel design with key filtering
capabilities make it the perfect tool for countless applications.
