Drawmer DS404 Quad Gate

I have owned this DS404 for 2 years. It has never left my home. I really like the Drawmer comps and gates especially for live analog use. The gates are perfect for live drum control. They are surgical. This unit has XLR connections and has no issues. Drawmer box and power cable included. I am having to sell off some gear- see my other listings.

The Drawmer DS404 is a 1U, 4-channel (quad) frequency-conscious noise gate designed with "Programme Adaptive" circuitry. Official specifications and features include:

• Channels: 4 independent channels (linkable as two stereo pairs or a chain of 3–4 channels). [1, 2]
• Connectors: Balanced XLR for inputs and outputs; unbalanced 6.35mm jack for key input. [1, 2]
• Input Impedance: 20k Ohms or greater (balanced). [1]
• Output Impedance: 50 Ohms (balanced). [1]
• Maximum Input / Output Level: +21dBu (+17dB). [1, 2]
• Bandwidth: <10Hz to 22kHz (-1dB) / +1dB from 20Hz to 34kHz. [1, 2]
• Dynamic Range: 116dB. [1]
• Noise (at unity gain, 22Hz–22kHz): -97dB (AV) / -96dB (RMS). [1]
• Distortion (THD): <0.04% @ 100Hz with +4dBu input (gate open). [1]
• Crosstalk: Better than -80dB @ 10kHz. [1]

Control Ranges & Features

• Threshold Control: Fully variable from +20dB to -70dB. [1]
• Release Control: Variable from 10 ms to 5 seconds. [1]
• Attenuation Range: Switchable between 90dB and 20dB. [1]
• Filters (Frequency-Conscious Gating):
• • Low-Frequency (LF) Filter: Variable from 25Hz to 10kHz.
  • High-Frequency (HF) Filter: Variable from 200Hz (or 250Hz) to 35kHz. [1, 2]
• Attack Time:
• • Hard Mode: <10 µS (ultra-fast).
  • Soft Mode: 100 µs (min) to 1 ms (max). [1]
• Gating Modes: Switchable between Hard gate (percussive/drums) and Soft gate/expander (vocals/sub-mixes). [1]
• Key Inputs & Monitoring: Internal/external key source switching, key listen facility, and tri-color Drawmer "traffic light" LED status meters (Green, Yellow, Red). [1, 2]
• Form Factor: 1U rackmount. [1]
