To expand phase-coherent stereo signals (i.e. signals having the same phase), it is imperative that the control processes be triggered simultaneously in both channels.

19 MUL TIGA TE PRO XR4400 signal will not be suppressed completely. Although the MULTIGATE PRO allows for a maximum gain reduction of 80 dB, it is usually not useful to reduce the signal level by this maximum amount.
20 MUL TIGA TE PRO XR4400 The high sound pressure levels of the individual instruments lead to crosstalk in adjacent microphones. Frequency cancellations and a non-defined sound (comb filter effect) are the result. It has proven wise to use a separate microphone for each drum instrument and to gate each microphone channel.
