Metric Halo SuperGate v4 is a noise-gate plug-in designed to eliminate unwanted background noise from your audio recordings. Unlike traditional noise gates, SuperGate v4 offers a high degree of customization to achieve natural-sounding results.

With SuperGate v4, you can define precisely how the gate opens and closes around your desired audio. It visually shows you the noise reduction process and allows you to tailor the attack and release curves for a smooth and transparent effect. This makes SuperGate v4 ideal for cleaning up drum tracks, dialogue recordings, and any situation where you want to isolate a specific sound.

Support for Gating and Ducking    Adjustable Attack and Release Curves    Threshold/Hysteresis, Hold Time Control    Delay-Compensated Lookahead Mode    Detector EQ with SpectraFoo Analyzer    Adjustable UI Size    Presets Included, MH Preset Manager    Mac/Windows, AU/VST2/VST3/AAX

• SuperGate v4 lets you customize the gate attack and release gain curves precisely to the sound you are isolating, as you listen, while visually referencing our specialized WYSIWYG detector display.
• The gate curve you build is not applied as a set of dynamic expander parameters, but a programmed set of sample-by-sample instructions defining the gain structure and duration of the Attack-Hold-Release gate envelope itself. When the trigger point is reached during playback, this set of instructions modifies the samples describing the target sound, thereby applying the gate.
• The Open and Close gate curves are applied with perfect repeatability as if they were copy/pasted onto the audio stream at the trigger point (which is in fact exactly the case), and all the minute variations of each audio event which provide feel and personality can come through the gate completely untouched.

• State machine Gate Open and Gate Close operations eliminate modulation between gate gain stages and the source audio
• Threshold (gate open) and Hysteresis (gate close) detector level controls
• Detector Lookahead aids detection of slower transient events
• Independent Gate Attack Time (up to 1000 ms) and Attack Curve shape controls
• Gate Hold up to 2 seconds before Gate Release engages
• Independent Gate Release Time (up to 4000 ms) and Release Curve shape controls
• Side-chain Detector Filter with six fully tunable filter curves
• External Detector Source input routable from any MIOConsole hardware input or bus
• Listen Source selections monitor the Gated signal, Gate Closed (program the gate is rejecting) or the side-chain post-filter feed to the detector
• Attenuation control determines the gain reduction applied to audio rejected by the gate (from 0 to -144 dB)
• Duck mode: reverses the gate action, so the gate closes to attenuate audio when the detector is above the threshold, and opens when it's below threshold
• Detector EQ with SpectraFoo Analyzer
• Detailed Detector and GR history metering
• Adjustable UI size, disclosable graphs
• Many presets included
• MH Preset Manager: Provides cross-platform presets

A: This is the v3 extension strip.

Q: 4. how do they get powered?.

A: There is an AC adapter in the box.

Q: 5. Can I use this with my Ronin SC Gimbal..? Thanks.

A: Yes, any single arm gimbal with a 1/4 20" thread at the bottom will mount on this device.

Q: 6. What is the diameter of the handles? I'm hoping to buy attachment accessories for it.

A: The diameter of this handle is not listed, however you will be able to attach the Impact Atom Clamp with Ratchet Handle, B&H # IMME100, to this product. From there you will have a 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 thread for accessories. https://bhpho.to/2p3lC2X

Q: 7. What is the difference between Halo Mono and Halo?

A: The Halo Mono is specifically for monolight strobes, where one might need easier access to the control panel. The standard Halo is for flash heads which use a power pack or speedlights, so it would full enclose those types of units.

Q: 8. Can the ring be disassembled for traveling?

A: Yes it may be disassembled for traveling.

Q: 9. Are the LEDs addressable? DRGB strip..?

A: Sorry, they are not addressable. You control the entire strip through the app.

Q: 10. I was intending to use two 45 silver parabolic umbrellas with two 600 EX RT Speedlites to light groups of four to ten people indoors. If I use two of these 45 softboxes with one 600 EX RT Speedlite inside each one, will they be a better option? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

A: You could use a Halo Mono Softbox on each of the 600EX RT flash and still have enough coverage for a group of 4-10 people. Using the parabolic umbrellas would add more contrast with specular highlights.
