The sheer amount of effects
and signal processors required for today's standards of
audio production puts a great strain on the available space
in equipment racks, both in the studio and on the road.
So, in order to give
engineers more control in less space, we've created the
ARX Sixgate;
Six full function noise gates neatly housed in a compact,
all steel 1 RU package, without sacrificing features or
quality.
Why Six
gates?
Research shows that
the majority of noise gates get used on drum kits, which
means using typically 5 to 6 gate channels. Compare this to
the two or maybe 4 channels that most other units have, and
you'll see the reason for the Sixgate's success.
And, by using a minimalist approach to drum gates, the
ARX Sixgate
has enough gates left over for backing vocals and other
instruments.
Industry
Standard controls
On the brushed
aluminium front panel the controls for each gate consist of
the 'Industry Standard' controls for Release, Depth
and Threshold, plus Red and Green LED displays to
indicate Gate Open or Closed status, and an IN/OUT
hardwire bypass switch with status LED.
In addition to this, each gate has a blank panel to write on
for easy confirmation of gate assigns. No more pieces of
masking tape stuck everywhere!
Ultra Low
Noise
Internally, each
gate has proprietary ARX ultra low noise high-speed
opto-coupler circuitry with program dependent Attack time,
which tracks the incoming signal to automatically determine
optimum gate response.
Balanced
Inputs and Outputs
The rear panel of
the ARX Sixgate
features true
differential Balanced Inputs and Outputs for each gate, on
insulated TipRingSleeve jack connectors.
Each gate channel also has Individual Key Inputs/Sidechain
access insert points which can be used either for gate
control by an external signal, or for frequency sensitive
gating (when used in conjuction with an external equalizer
such as the ARX EQ260).
Universal
AC Power
AC power range on
the Sixgate is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V, and
is connected to the unit via a standard 3 pin IEC connector,
with built-in fuse and voltage switch.
The ARX
Sixgate's
unique combination of High Density design, intuitive 'user
friendly' controls, and clean uncluttered layout make it a
truly useful audio tool for all applications.
You'll never compromise on
Quality when you choose ARX
