Drawmer MX60 Front End One

The MX60 Front End One is a unique mic/line/instrument input channel in a single rackspace providing high-quality Drawmer processing prior to tape/hard disc recording. Also ideally suited to project studio and live sound applications, the MX60 functions as a studio-grade mic preamp, Program Adaptive gate, de-esser, compressor, limiter, three-band EQ and multi-band tube saturation stage. Grass Roots - The MX60 draws its technology from the most successful of Drawmer products. The mic preamp features the same discrete component design found in the legendary Drawmer 1960, the de-esser is derived from the MX50, the VCA based compressor is similar to the MX30, while the peak limiter and gate can be tracked back to the DL241 compressor/limiter.ControlsInput Stage: The input stage may be switched to accept mic, line, or instrument level signals - the XLR mic input has switchable 48V phantom power and phase reverse, while the line input is on both a balanced +4dB TRS jack and an unbalanced -10dB jack. A high-impedance instrument jack is located on the front panel for use with electric guitars, basses, synths and drum machines.Program Adaptive Gate: Drawmer's proprietary Program Adaptive circuitry means that all the time constants are automatically optimised for the material being processed. This enables stable gating and eliminates 'chatter' around threshold. Controls via a single variable threshold and switchable fast/slow auto release.De-Esser: ...
