Combining familiar front panel controls with the accuracy and performance of digital signal processing, Ranes full-featured, high performance G4 Quad Gate is suitable for use in a variety of demanding dynamics processing applications. Gating, ducking and downward expansion modes are offered, together with internal high- and low-cut filters and external side-chain inputs. It is the ideal tool for front of house, monitor, instrument and voice processing, broadcast and recording.
Analog controls (knobs, sliders) allow a performer or sound engineer to make precise adjustments in real time. Digital signal processing (DSP) provides a degree of accuracy, consistency and flexibility that simply cannot be matched with a traditional analog design.
The G4 combines the best of both worlds by using analog controls and high performance digital processing to achieve an unprecedented feature set. Benefits of this approach:
Allows the use of advanced compression and dynamic EQ techniques which are difficult or costly to implement in traditional analog designs.
-
Improved accuracy and repeatability.
-
Exceptional immunity to RF and electromagnetic interference.
-
Lower cost per channel.
