About this listing
The Drawmer 1960 Tube Preamp & Compressor is a two channel unit with each channel comprised of a completely natural sounding soft knee vacuum tube compressor and an extremely low noise microphone pre-amplifier with switchable 48 volt phantom power.The Drawmer 1960 Tube Preamp & Compressor provides the ultimate direct interface between the sound source and the recording medium by combining eight active tube stages and the low noise and reliability of solid state electronics. The Drawmer 1960 Tube Preamp & Compressor also offers an auxiliary instrument pre-amp with EQ and brightness switch, which may be routed through both compressor channels. Suitable for a variety of signal sources, from electric guitars and basses to electronic keyboards, and is designed to be deliberately overdriven to add tonal colouration to an instrument. The powerful combination of the classic valve circuit, offering unsurpassed tonality, and the low noise balanced microphone input with up to 60dB of gain has allowed engineers throughout the world to exploit the full potential of high performance condenser microphones. An example of this would be the direct to digital stereo recording of live classical music without the necessity of a mixing console.Drawmer 1960 Tube Preamp & Compressor FeaturesA versatile instrument pre-amplifier with passive EQ and brightness switch, which may be routed through both compressor channelsSuitable for a variety of signal sources, from electric guitars and basses to electronic keyboardsDesigned to be deliberately overdriven to add tonal colouration to an instrumentTwo low-noise microphone preamplifiers with provision for phantom poweringCompressor section provides soft-knee compression, with four dual-stage tubes in the signal pathSwitchable Attack and switchable Release with two programme dependent settingsTraditional moving coil meters monitor either gain reduction or output signal levelAn output gain control provides up to 20dB of make-up gainDrawmer 1960 Tube Preamp & Compressor SpecificationsConnectors: Mic/Line Balanced XLR (Pin 2 +), Aux Input 1/4 jack (Unbal)Input Impedance:Line: 20K OhmMic: 150 to 600 OhmAux: 47K OhmMaximum Input Level: +16dB (+20dBu)Mic Pre-Amp:Noise: -129dB (ref 0dBu, 150 Ohm)Dynamic Range: 150dBHeadroom: +21dBOutput Impedance: 50 OhmMaximum Output Level: +18dB (+22dBu)Frequency Response: < 20Hz to 24KHz, -1dBCrosstalk: Better than -80dB @ 10KHzNoise: (Compressor Section @ Unity Gain) -88dB @ 22Hz 22KHzDistortion:Unity Gain: +4dBuInput: <0.15% @ 100Hz to 10KHzPower Requirements: IEC Connector, 115 or 230V (-15% +10%) @ 50-60Hz, 38 WattsDimensions: (W x H x D) 482mm x 88mm x 250mmWeight: 6.6 KgDrawmer 1960 Tube Preamp & Compressor IncludesDrawmer 1960 Tube Preamp & CompressorPower CordUser ManualManufacturer Warranty
