The noise gate shall be a six channel unit in a steel chassis six inches deep and one rack unit high. Each channel shall be independent of the others, and have variable controls for Release, Depth and Threshold. Release times shall be program dependent. Each channel shall also have a hardwire Bypass switch on the front panel, and three LED indicators to show gate open, closed and active status. The unit shall have electronically Balanced inputs and outputs, on Tip Ring Sleeve (TRS) jack connectors (Tip +, Ring –, Sleeve Ground, with an Input impedance of 20 Kohms (10 Kohms unbalanced).

- Marker panel for labeling gate assigns
- Balanced inputs and outputs, on balanced jack connectors
- Side chain insert/key input tip ring sleeve jack on each channel
- AC input connector, with voltage switch and fuse
- Attack time program dependent using high-speed optocouplers
- Release time user variable
