Drawmer 1972 Dual Mic\Line\Inst Pre-Amplifier

Drawmer 1972 Dual Mic\Line\Inst Pre-Amplifier

The Drawmer 1972 Dual Mic, Line & Instrument Pre-Amplifier has been developed to make it ultra easy for you to capture perfect recordings every time. The 1972 gives you the ability to record pristine audio from a variety of sources and especially makes the most of the multitude of microphones that you find in the studio, from budget to high-end dynamic and also ribbon mics. Uniquely it has added features that help out in difficult to record situations that are not found on other preamplifiers.

The 1972 uses the latest THAT Corporation technology in the two independent mic preamps to provide ultra clean, transparent and precise recordings, that can be processed at a later stage using your favourite methods, be it compression, E.Q., saturation, valve, transformer or tape. Each channel is capable of 66dB of stepped gain, with an additional +/-12dB’s trim at the output, and incorporates switchable mic impedance for accurate mic matching to bring out the best from any microphone used, and also provides a way to “sculpt” the sound of passive dynamic, and especially low-impedance ribbon microphones.

Drawmer 1972 Features:

• Two THAT Corporation ultra clean mic pre's with 66dB of gain in 6dB steps, plus +/-12dB’s trim at the output.
• Separate Line & Mic input XLR's on the rear plus a pro quality instrument DI input on the front panel.
• Can be used on a multitude of sources including instruments and all type of microphones in the studio from low to high end, plus ribbon mics.
• Switchable Mic Impedance for accurate mic matching and also mic tone sculpting.
• A wealth of features not found on other preamps make it ease to capture difficult to record sources.
• Unique Lift feature for boosting very low signals without the loud signals clipping.
• Fully variable LoCut and HiCut filters to tune into signals and remove unwanted sounds.
• Shape switches are included to control bass and treble using a subtle tilt EQ.
• Phantom Power and Phase Reverse.
• Two backlit Analogue V.U. Meters with Switchable +10dB Rescale Mode.
• Time delay relays on outputs for clean power up/down.
• Internal Low Hum Toroidal Linear Power Supply with Voltage Selector Switch.
• Classic Drawmer build quality with rugged steel chassis and aluminium front panel.
• Designed and Handmade by Drawmer in the United Kingdom.
