Valley International GATEX 4-CH Noise Gate

The Valley International GATEX is a vintage 1U rack-mount, 4-channel noise gate and expander designed for professional audio applications, particularly effective for controlling drum kit mic spill. Each independent channel features keying, envelope following, and flexible operating modes

Key Features and Capabilities:

• Four Independent Channels: Allows for simultaneous processing of multiple sources, such as individual drums in a kit.
• Versatile Modes: Offers "Hard" noise gating and two types of expansion (1:2 and 2:3) for smoother, less obvious noise reduction.
• Keying/Triggering: Each channel can accept external signal sources, allowing one instrument to trigger the gate for another.
• Control Interface: Features three continuously variable controls for precise parameter adjustments, along with a 3-position mode switch.
• Monitoring: Includes a 3-LED display per channel (Green: On, Yellow: Expansion, Red: Attenuation).
• Use Case: Highly regarded for cleaning up drum tracks, reducing cymbal bleed into tom mics, and controlling unwanted noise on other instruments. 

The GATEX is known as a reliable, classic studio tool, often found in used, vintage condition.
