The BOZ DIGITAL Gatey Watey is a frequency-specific gate plug-in designed to provide versatile attenuation of unwanted bleed. It's made for musicians, audio editors, and mix engineers in mobile rigs, recording studios, home setups, and live stage applications. Use it to tame problematic noise either when an instrument or vocal stops or in between parts of performances.

Wideband mode will operate like a traditional noise gate; it will attenuate all frequencies when the signal falls below the selectable threshold. Two frequency-specific modes allow you to reduce high or low frequencies when your signal drops below the threshold. The adjustable lookahead feature is optimized to preserve the attack of transients by detecting the audio before acting upon it. Use the range, attack, and release controls to contour the reduction amount and envelope.

All controls are neatly laid out in a single window, so you don’t have to dig through pages of parameters. Gatey Watey supports Audio Units, AAX, RTAS, VST2, and VST3 plug-in formats, and is compatible with Mac OS X and Windows.

Q: 1. What's the load capacity? Could I use this to attach 15 pound sand bags?

A: The Filmsticks Wire Gate Carabiners have a load capacity of three pounds. They cannot be used to attach a 15 pound sandbag.

Q: 2. I have 4 individual home theater seats. Should I use an advance or the mini for each seat?

A: The ButtKicker Advance Low Frequency Audio Transducer (B&H # BUBK44) would be a suitable option for more heavy duty seating. The right amplifier for this model would be the ButtKicker BKA-130-C Mini Power Amplifier for ButtKicker Transducers (B&H # BUBKA130C).

Q: 3. Thanks, what amp is recommended to drive the 4 buttkicker advance? Is there a way to separately control the intensity of each unit?

A: An amp of 75-400 W. To control separate units, you would have to use separate amps or at least an amp with 2 channels, so adjustments could be made separately. ButtKicker BK4-4 Specs Frequency Response 5 to 200 Hz Nominal Impedance 4 Ohms (inductive) Power Handling Minimum: 75 W Maximum: 400 W

Q: 4. The Audio Bandwidth is listed twice. In one place it states 40 Hz to 20 KHz, while in the other it states 70 Hz to 20 KHz. Which one is right?

A: There are separate specs for the receiver and mic/transmitter. The receiver's range is 40 Hz to 20 kHz and the mic/transmitter's range is 70 Hz to 20 kHz.

Q: 5. Does this transmitter work with the Lectrosonics IFBR1B Bodypack IFB Receiver (VHF: 174 to 216 MHz) ? I noticed the frequency range was slightly different so i want to be sure.

A: Yes, The Lectrosonics IFBR1B is compatible with IFBT4 transmitters, as long as there is frequency band overlap between the components

Q: 6. What's the size?

A: Approximate Dimensions: 4.25" x 2.5" /Gate Opening: 0.88")

Q: 7. is the neck mic good for Documentary (Interview) ?

A: The mic picks up very well for the person wearing it. A second mic would be needed for the interviewer.

Q: 8. Is the MPC II powered by bluetooth or usb? Or am I required to have a power source to power the device?
