Behringer's Interactive Knee Adaptation can be switched in to combine the characteristics of hard- and soft-knee compression, while the Lo Contour button places a high-pass filter in the side-chain to prevent low frequencies from dominating the compression process.

The compressor is a variable-ratio type with conventional Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release and Output (make-up gain) controls, but, as you might expect, extra buttons have been added to increase its flexibility, not least an Auto button that disables the manual Attack/Release controls and instead dynamically alters the values according to the programme material's dynamics. Compressor may lack character for some applications.Ī great-value workhorse compressor with separate limiter, expander/gate and de-esser.A couple of LEDs show whether the expander/gate is open or closed. To make the simple controls even simpler, the expander circuit uses Behringer's Interactive Ratio Control system, which simply means the expansion ratio varies depending on the program material, the outcome being that the gain reduction isn't so fierce on low-level sounds. This is switchable between expander and gate mode and, other than a threshold control, has only a switch for choosing two release time settings.

The original 1U Behringer Composer dual-channel compressor found its way into innumerable home studios, but the Pro XL version heralds a complete redesign, bringing together an expander, a compressor, a de-esser and a peak limiter, plus a switchable enhancer and tube simulation. Behringer have redesigned their popular Composer Pro, adding tube simulation, de-essing and dynamic enhancement.
