Mar 01, 2006 03:51 pm i'd guess it's a sidechain, i've been tryin' to find info online, to no avail.....i'm guessing EXT means external, and i have no idea what key is though....i'm gonna say it's a TRS jack for sidechaining.

Hi, i was wondering if i could get some very quick help. I've just bought a Behringer MDX1000 compressor but the manuals is nowhere to be seen. Its discontinued and therefore the manual is rare. There's just one thing i need to know. What does the KEY EXT. jack in the back do?
Is this similar to sidechain?
Thankyou

Mar 01, 2006 04:03 pm Thankyou for your response, behringer don't really bother with discontinued products, but i just found success. Indeed it is a insert, basically side chain. i found this by looking at another old manual, not the right one though.
With a sidechain, you need a stereo to 2 mono Y lead dont you? Does it matter which way round you position the mono jacks, or can both jacks either poerate as a send/return?
Thankyou
Mar 01, 2006 04:20 pm yeah you need a Y cable, and yes they do matter, and yes the signal only travels one way, meaning when you hook up the Y cable, one will be the send (audio out), and the other will be the return (audio back in).
cheers

Mar 01, 2006 06:58 pm It triggers the comp/gate externally from another signal. An eg. would be if you had two snare mics on the same snare. If you gate snare top, you can feed an output to the KEY EXT inputs so they both gate at the same time.
And yea, same as a sidechain.
