Drawmer 1977 Channel Strip

The Drawmer 1970 series just got a new sibling - the Drawmer 1977 Channel Strip!

This could very well be the fully featured analogue channel strip you’ve been waiting for. If you’re looking to add vintage characteristics and analogue musicality to your recordings then look no further than the 1977 - Drawmer’s most comprehensive channel strip to date. 1977 gives you the clarity of an ultra-clean preamplifier, the precision of the three-band parametric equaliser, the silkiness of the soft knee compressor and added to this, the ability to dial in as much warmth as you desire via the 3 types of variable harmonic saturation. As with all Drawmer products, the 1977 is hand-crafted in the UK with a steel chassis for bullet-proof reliability.

FEATURES

• Super clean preamp with 66 dB of gain - enough to drive ribbon mics and the Shure SM7B

• Separate Line & Mic input XLRs and pro-quality instrument DI input with through output. Plus an XLR for the dedicated ultra-clean direct pre-amp output and also for the overall output.

• FETs can be bypassed altogether to provide ultra-clean outputs. A variable high pass filter control removes any rumble and allows you to tighten up the bottom end.

• Vintage sounding three-band full parametric EQ which takes its inspiration from 1970s-era analogue gear, with variable frequency, +/-12dB cut and boost and variable bandwidth. Switchable slopes plus low peak settings allow you to adjust the focus and also magnify the bottom and top ends.

• The compressor includes standard controls and also 'Big' and 'Air' Modes Help preserve the very deep lows and enhance the sparkling highs.

• The rear panel Side-chain insert point provides even further control.

• 3 types of variable Saturation add vintage warmth.

• The order of the EQ and Compressor can be swapped and also each can be bypassed to allow for comparisons.

• Variable Wet/Dry Mix plus Output Gain knobs give a 'Parallel E.Q. and Compression' function without the need for external mixing devices, providing complete and effortless control over the amount of equalisation and compression used and output levels.

• A large backlit Analogue V.U. Meter

• Time delay relays on the output for clean power up/down.

• Internal Low Hum Toroidal Linear Power Supply with Voltage Selector Switch.

• Classic drawer build quality with rugged steel chassis and aluminium front panel.

• Designed and Handmade by Drawmer in the UK.
