Drawmer - MC2.1 Monitor Controller
The Drawmer MC2.1 monitoring controller provides a central interface for organising studio monitoring with precision, elegance and consistency, connecting audio sources to various monitoring systems in a clear and organised manner that facilitates controlled sound engineering. Developed and manufactured in the UK, this unit features a design focused on fidelity, with an understated presence that reminds us that an audio control unit can also have character. It strikes a balance between technical precision, listening comfort and creativity, without turning the studio into a sterile laboratory.
Presentation
Its three stereo inputs and three stereo speaker outputs allow for the organisation of multiple listening set-ups, offering the flexibility required by studios seeking clear management of connected sources.
Drawmer provides a control tool designed to analyse audio signals systematically, thanks to mono, dim, mute, phase inversion and left/right cut functions. The two independent headphone amplifiers allow for separate management of personal monitoring, whilst the integrated talkback system facilitates communication between multiple users in a shared working environment.
The MC2.1’s active electronic design ensures a precise audio path, with a linear power supply featuring a low-noise toroidal transformer to minimise electrical interference. Each speaker output has dedicated controls, allowing for fine-tuning of levels between multiple monitoring systems used to compare different sound reproductions in the studio.
