Drawmer 1971 Dual Parametric Equaliser with Harmonic Crush

Full Description

Vintage character and harmonic crush button

The Drawmer 1971 stands out with its CRUSH button, a unique feature that adds a fixed time constant, auto gain makeup compressor, and musically pleasing harmonics. This feature enriches the bass, mids, and highs, providing analogue warmth that digital tools struggle to replicate. The Drawmer 1971 you’re fattening up the bass, enhancing midrange presence, or adding shimmer to the top end, the CRUSH button ensures your sound is vibrant and full of character.

Versatile 4-band parametric EQ

The 1971 offers two channels of 4-band parametric EQ, each with fully variable frequency controls and a cut/boost function. The two mid bands include completely variable filter bandwidth controls, allowing for precise audio spectrum adjustments. This versatility makes the 1971 perfect for both subtle mix refinements and significant tonal sculpting, providing a wide range of audio shaping options. With adjustable low and high cut filters, it’s easy to eliminate unwanted signals at frequency extremes, ensuring a clean and polished sound.

Precision stepped potentiometers

The Drawmer 1971 features precision stepped potentiometers for each control, offering exceptional accuracy and easy recall of settings. This design ensures consistent results, making it simple to recreate your favourite settings quickly. The stepped potentiometers enhance workflow efficiency, allowing you to focus more on creativity and less on technical adjustments. This feature is particularly beneficial during complex mixes where exact replication of settings is crucial.

Switchable slope settings

One of the unique aspects of the 1971 is its switchable slope settings on the low and high band filters. With options for 6, 9, and 12dB per octave slopes, and a peak setting at the low end, you can adjust the focus of your audio precisely. The peak setting, which adds a narrow bell shape to the low band filter, is especially useful for kick drums, providing added weight without muddying the lower mid frequencies. These slope settings allow you to tailor the audio focus to suit your needs, ensuring the best possible sound quality for your recordings.
