General studio compressor
Complete stereo mixes.
For high quality location recording, the 1960 makes the perfect partner for a DAT machine, as it combines the functions of stereo mic preamp with that of a compressor.
The mic inputs provide up to 60dB of gain.
As an instrument amplifier, the 1960 provides gain, EQ and compression, providing the type of overdrive sound associated with tube guitar amplifiers.
When the compressor is overdriven, it can be used creatively on electric guitar or rock vocal sounds.
The Aux input may be used for processing the output from a dedicated guitar preamplifier, where the EQ can be used to further tailor the sound before it is compressed.
Because compression is a form of controlled gain reduction, a stage of make-up amplification follows the compressor section giving a range of 20dB. The VU meters may be switched to monitor either the amount of gain reduction taking place or the output signal level and the two channels may be used either independently or as a stereo pair, depending on the setting of the stereo link switch.

The side chain access points may be used to patch in equalisers to enable the compressor to act as a de-esser. As with other Drawmer products, the by-pass switch offers a choice of Normal. By-pass and Side Chain Listen modes so that if you have patched in any additional side chain processing, you can easily monitor what effect it is having.

In addition to the balanced microphone and line inputs on the rear of the unit an auxiliary input on the front panel gives direct access for guitars or electronic instruments. Equalization is provided along with sufficient gain to overload the tube pre-amp for sustain effects. The Aux input is a valuable addition as it combines the virtues of a D.I. box and equalizer with the compressor allowing the instrument to be simultaneously processed and routed to the mixing console or directly to the recorder.
