MXR Auto Flanger

The MXR Auto Flanger is a professional audio delay line designed for true flanging in both portable and custom setups. Its versatile controls ensure ease of use, while its precise time delay creates a musical tonality in percussion, distinguishing it from phasing.

MXR Auto Flanger Details

The MXR Auto Flanger is the first professional audio delay line capable of producing true flanging, offering consistent, cost-effective performance. Designed for both portable use and custom installations, the MXR Auto Flanger meets the high demands of professional audio applications.

The MXR Auto Flanger’s front panel layout and controls are designed for maximum versatility while ensuring ease of use. The Auto Flanger’s precise time delay and resulting comb filter response cause random program material, such as drums, cymbals, and percussion, to acquire a musical tonality, a feature that distinguishes it from phasing.

Flanging is an effects component created by MXR Innovations to provide repeatable reel-flanging effects, caused by mixing a dry and a time-delayed signal to create a comb-filter response with harmonically related components.

The effect of flanging is created by mixing a variable time delay signal back with the original dry signal. The resulting comb-filter response is characterized by the precise mathematical relationship created by the time delay.

The subjective effect is that of conventional reel-flanging, without the necessity for manpower and multiple tapedecks or a costly and highly specialized digital delay system. The comb-filter response of flanging causes random program material (i.e. drums, cymbals and other percussion) to take on musical tonality. Unlike phasing, flanging is subjectively more noticeable at mid and high frequencies, due to the time delay created response. Unlike reel-flanging, the MXR Auto Flanger is at the tip of your fingers in real time.

The MXR Professional Products Rack is a compact, self-contained enclosure designed for mounting, powering, and interfacing up to four MXR Auto Flangers or MXR Auto Phasers in any configuration. Its specialised power supply ensures operation across a wide range of line voltages.

Built with durability in mind, the Professional Products Rack supports standard half-rack mounting but can also be used freestanding for studio effects on location. Its flexible control system allows for independent operation of each unit or synchronised operation in various master-slave configurations. Strategically grouped phone jacks enable patching of units individually or in series, providing extensive creative possibilities.

MXR also produced a standard 19″ rack capable of housing four MXR Auto Phaser, MXR Auto Flanger.s, or a combination of both.
