1:15 - the 545 is actually an excellent noise gate (I suppose Mitch was instructed to say otherwise). Noisy hissy synths and guitar amps can easily have 10 dB noise reduction when their output is routed through a 545 (517->545 is a good choice). Any spoken voice or voiceover work is made a lot simpler with the 545 because breaths and noise can be pushed down 10-12 dB (Depth knob at 12:00-1:00). The 545 should be at the very end of your signal chain. Set the Depth at 12:00 with the Fast and Peak buttons on and adjust the Threshold while you listen to your voice and adjust the gate threshold. The RND 511 543 and 545 combo in the R6 cabinet is a voiceover artist's best friend. I'm not affiliated with RND or Sweetwater - just passing along info.
Thanks for your insight on the 545/5045. You mentioned this should be at the very end of your signal chain. Would that also apply to a vox group such as a group of Pastor Mics, or a band vox group?
@@alanchang3367 You would need to have one 545/5045 for each mic and each 545/5045 at the very end of their signal chain. You won't have success sending a group of microphones into a single 545.
If you get this, your interface should already be top of the line like RME for example. Any noise you hear is not from those audio interfaces, it’s the room tone or room noise.
Hi milanosde, great question! While it is really designed for vocals, I don't see any reason it wouldn't work for a guitar signal. However, you would want to have a preamp in line before the 545. It is designed to take in line level signals that have already been properly amplified. If you want to dig in further, give me a shout!

Hello! The Neve 5045 is an anti-feedback unit. It sounds like what you need is a gate, or possibly some shields in front of your guitar cabinets to give a little more isolation. Please give us a call if you would like to discuss it further. Thanks for the interest! Mike Godlove, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1355
Hello, Pat! The 545 could work for group processing, but it would not be the most ideal as noise thresholds can vary from mic to mic, speaker to speaker, depending on the amount of gain needed. If feedback prevention is what you are after, you’d be better suited going with a feedback suppressor that is intended for buss processing, such as the dbx AFS2. Thanks for the interest!

Hello! It is really meant for a live scenario. If you're looking for a great gate for the studio, you should check out the Phoenix Audio N-90-DRC. Thanks for the interest! Mike Godlove, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1355
Cool video! So, where exactly would you put this unit in the signal-chain? Would it be put first, before any compression an eq? Or after controlling the dynamics with compression so the level is more "flattend out"?
Hi, Marc. That is a great question! If you are in a live environment, I would definitely suggest putting this right before going out to your main speakers. This would allow you to put a final polish, so to speak, on your mix and get it to where you want it to be. Let us know if you have any more questions!

@@blormpf1740 Wonderful! Thank you
Rupert is killing the game on so many levels..........Who needs a booth nowadays 🥂
Would this help with removing the noise floor from pre-amps/ audio interfaces?
If you get this, your interface should already be top of the line like RME for example. Any noise you hear is not from those audio interfaces, it’s the room tone or room noise.
Would it work with in instrument? Let's say piezo equipped guitar through a passive DI Box for instance?

Would these or the 5045 work for getting out or turning down loud guitar amps from behind the mic when the singer is away from the mic?

Does it work well inserted in a group ? Let’s say a group lav mic ? ( corporate events )

@@sweetwater all right thanks !
Great! But does it add any value to a recording studio setup such as gating noise etc? Or just for live feedback problems?
