Klark Teknik DN514 4-Channel Noise Gate
The DN514 Plus from Klark Teknik is a four-channel gate, that provides frequency conscious gating along with sidechain key signal triggering. The Quad Auto Gate is designed to enable the studio or PA engineer to greatly improve the quality of sound sources quickly and simply, by gating out unwanted background clutter or tape hiss.
Features:
- Four frequency-conscious high performance gates in a single rack space housing
- Optimized for fast set up and dependable triggering for every conventional gate application
- Advanced VCA design for low noise and distortion
- Two semi-automatic attack modes and hold time automatically scaled to release value
- Sync function synchronizes harmony parts, brass section, etc., by interlocking all four gate release times
- Additional key inputs for each channel allows triggering from external sources
- Side chain monitor function simplifies filter set-up
- Threshold and release LEDs provide visual information regarding gate status
- Both Master and channel bypass switches are provided to aid set-up
