1.2 FEATURES
The following is a summary of your GTX44's features:
Full Featured Gate/Expander
Each channel of yourGTX44 can be used as a frequency specific gate or expander, depending on your needs and settings.
Channel Linking
Using the Link function, you can link together two channels of the GTX44 for stereo operation. When linked, the processor
follows the setting of linked channel to the left, which becomes the master. When two channels are linked the sidechains are
summed.
Separate Bypass for Each Channel
All four channels have a separate bypass for listening to 'before and after' performance tests.
Insert Sidechain on Each Channel
Each channel of your GTX44 was designed with a special jack for spectral processing, and ducking applications. Sidechaining
is useful for automatically ducking tracks behind a narrator for 'auto mixing' a service, broadcast or performance.
Duck Mode
Ducking lowers the level of the audio signal based upon the level of a second sidechain audio signal.
Balanced XLR and Unbalanced 1/4" Tip/Ring/Sleeve Input/Output
Your GTX44 accepts XLR connectors for balanced or a single 1/4" TRS for unbalanced inputs and outputs.
+4dBu or -10dBV Insert Switch
The operating level of your GTX44’S inserts can be switched between +4dBu (pro levels) to -10dBV (line levels) for ease of
use with external equipment in any situation.
