Rane G 4 Quad Gate £959.99
Description
Combining familiar front panel controls with the accuracy and performance of digital signal processing, Rane's 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.
The G4 is a member of Rane's analog-controlled digital family of products, including the C4 compressor, AC 24 crossover, DEQ 60 and DEQ60L graphic equalizers, and the PEQ 55 parametric equalizer.
Analog-Controlled Digital
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 can not 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:
Look Ahead Gating with Pre-Ramp: Never miss a transient
Improved accuracy and repeatability
Exceptional immunity to RF and electromagnetic interference
Lower cost per channel
