Step 1: Insert key to 'unlock' front panel and adjust VU meter preset until the peaks of the incoming audio illuminate the red endstop 0dB LEDs.Step 2: Adjust max output level preset until sound system volume reaches the maximum permitted SPL as specified by the installer or client. Remove key . . . and sleep soundly.The Drawmer SP2120 Speaker Protector offers both strict level control and tremendous peace of mind to the contractor, installer and venue in the knowledge that only the maintenance engineer and the venue manager hold a key. As its name suggests the 1U, two channel processor eliminates the possibility of 'unauthorized' excessive sound pressure levels on speaker systems which could result in damage to both chassis drivers and amplifier electronics. The unit also gives a wide variety of venues, such as clubs, theaters, pubs, schools, universities etc. the opportunity to comply with the local legislation regarding noise levels.The SP2120 front panel features an integral security lock to ensure that adjustments to maximum volume levels are implemented by key holders only. In 'unlocked' mode two front panel presets are exposed and available for adjustment by the installer. The first calibrates the 16 segment Left/Right bargraphs to the incoming audio and dictates the point at which 'protection' processing commences. The second sets the absolute volume level to which the sound system is allowed to...

The DSL424 provides the engineer with a 1U four channel comprehensive toolbox capable of solving the most complex dynamic problems. Incorporated in the 1U package are two industry standard frequency conscious noise gates and two soft/hard knee compressors with variable threshold limiting.The channels may be front panel configured as four individual stand alone processors, a stereo linked pair of comp/limiters with a stereo linked pair of gates. Alternatively, any combination of processing can be achieved by rear panel patching. The DSL424 combines the gates of the DS404 with the comp/limiters of the DL441 to provide a versatile 1U problem solver invaluable in applications where rack space is limited.
Drawmer MX30 Gated/Compressor/Limiter
 499.99 Learn More or Add to Cart with Low Price Guarantee
The MX30 Gated/Comp/Limiter is a low cost professional quality dynamics processor containing some of the proprietary design circuitry used in the more expensive models in the Drawmer range. The MX30 has many automated features enabling fast, effective dynamic control whilst retaining the instinctively laid out control parameters, sonic character and high technical specification which have made Drawmer the industry standard. The MX30's competitive price point brings Drawmer's professional processing into a much wider musician, project studio and live performance area.Operational control is split into three sections:- Gate, Compressor, Output: Program Adaptive' Gate Used to remove unwanted noise below a pre-set level, each channel consists of a variable Threshold Gate incorporating Drawmer's Programme Adaptive' circuitry. Although quick and simple to operate, the gate's auto-circuitry continually optimises such parameters as Attack, Hold, Ratio and Release, completely eliminating chatter' when the signal is fluctuating on or around Threshold. Two LED's show when the signal is above' or below' Threshold and a push button switch allows additional control of Release time. This design approach also retains all leading edge' information making the gate ideal for cleaning up' vocals or retaining the punch' on gated drums. Switching is provided for 'Fast' or 'Slow' release characteristics. The 'Fast' mode can be...

Drawmer DC2476 Digital Mastering Processor
 2999.99 Learn More or Add to Cart with Low Price Guarantee
The Drawmer DC2476 is an extremely sophisticated, all-digital stereo mastering processor designed for use in demanding recording and broadcast applications. Both analogue (balanced XLR) and digital (AES/EBU and S/PDIF) I/O are provided as standard. The audio converters are 24-bit and the digital output can be either 16, 18, 20 or 24-bit at sample rates of up to 96kHz. Noise shaped dithering is included and Word Clock input and output is available.Why 96kHz? Digital processing has until now been confined to 48kHz sampling frequency. In order to achieve the required bandwidth for professional audio, a very severe low pass filter at 23kHz is required to separate analogue signal frequencies from the clock frequency otherwise unpleasant aliasing will occur. This requires the use of a FIR digital filter which is part of the A/D and D/A converters. Unfortunately these filters cause what is known as time smear', where short transients are smeared over a longer time period giving loss of HF detail. At 96kHz sample frequency, the low pass filter is less severe and at twice the frequency, so time smear is considerably reduced. A second important consideration is the increased audio bandwidth up to 40kHz. This allows harmonics which extend above human hearing to be generated and preserved. These harmonics, although not audible themselves, make a contribution to the sound quality. Finally, the user interface has been...
