2. THE DESIGN CONCEPT
2.1 High Quality Components And Design
The philosophy behind Behringer products guarantees a no-compromise circuit design and employs the best
choice of components. The operational amplifiers NJM4580 which are used in the AUTOCOM PRO, are excep-
tional. They boast extreme linearity and very low distortion characteristics. The most important aspect of the
AUTOCOM PRO design is a radical VCA implementation which results in outstanding technical specification
and excellent performance. To complement this design the choice of components includes high precision
resistors and capacitors, detent potentiometers and several other stringently selected elements.
For the first time, the AUTOCOM PRO MDX1400 uses SMD technology (Surface Mounted Device). These sub-
miniature components known from aerospace technology allow for an extreme packing density, plus the units
reliability could be improved. Additionally, the unit is manufactured in compliance with a ISO9the5w05ty cdn
