Test: Drawmer 1971, configurable 4-band equalizer

Since Drawmer 1971 there has been a 4-sided parametric dual mono equalizer in a vintage design, which developed in Great Britain and was also created.

Das Konzept des Drawmer 1971

The name Drawmer lasts even Tontechniker, der sich etwas länger mit professional Audio-Equipment beschäftigt, ein fester Begriff sein. Founded in the 1980s by Outgears, the legendary Grand Tonstudio-Racks mit Unmengen von Drawmer DS-201 Noise-Gates zusammen mit ihren Kollegen von DBX for an ambitious Schlagzeugaufnahme a bestandteil unieden professional tone studios. Since 1981, Ivor Drawmer has created companies that have focused on certain products in the compressor sector, such as the 1960 or 1973 model or in the Equalizer sector.

Also the segment is not in the 1971 Model Drawer, but it has a classic Vintage-Anstrich hat, which also has its detailed details. The different settings of the Doppel-Mono equalizer can naturally have problems in the stereo, because the installation is carried out in two unabhängige channels, for a show with only one channel, very fun.

You can access channel 1 for the kick and channel 2 for the snare as well as full instruments which can be integrated into the frequency curve. Please note that the Art of the Channel Wählt is natural and it is very easy to use. I have preferences regarding safety, because the best users of the EQ are involved in the mastering chain or, as they do, in the subgroups, the instrument jewels are perfect in the Klang aufeinander abzustimmen.

Der Aufbau des Drawmer 1971

Der Drawmer 1971 used two identity channels, which appeared in the first post thanks to greater auszeichnen flexibility. Ganz Links features an input setting that generates minus 15 to plus 15 dB of power and a high quality LED string (two green, one yellow, one rot) above the Pegel of informed light signals.

If you are looking for a Low-Cut, this one is separate. The Low-Cut has the wide angle, which is at the same time more powerful, closer to 10 Hz, can be anfangen and an ultra-high sub-bass filter, for musical use which is more successful, but in the mixing later. Old energy absorbs more. I personally choose a general mix in a Low-Cut at approx. 20 Hz, for the production of old Müll im Tiefbassbereich zu befreien. The setting works up to 700 Hz.

The closest segment is the bass setting, which is here with the Kürzel LOW bezeichnet is. The Bassregelbereich is best for a frequency regulator and a Boost-bzw. Cut-Adjust. The edge speed lasts beyond two pulse intensity levels 2 times 6 dB, 9 dB, 12 dB and a peak setting, which also helps reduce the intensity of nighttime training without a flow cannot occur. The signal is reduced to +/-12 dB. The Bassbereich has many types of Crush-Schalter, a generated high-frequency power source and advantages related to reliable signal implementation. This tool supports the equalizer directly in a lasting way and allows you to create intervals in the klangbereich auch deutlich bemerkbar machen.

Was my test product not so gut gefallen hat, it is the Tatsache, dass sich der Hz-Regler zwischen Kanal 1 et 2 un wenig in der Eindeutigkeit von der Anzeige unterscheidet. Während beispielsweise der Regler auf Channel 2 exakt mit der Spitze auf 80 Hz zeigt, zeigt derselbereich bereich af Channel 1 auf ca. 90 Hz. Bis zu der Anzeige von ca. 45 Hz when the sound is identical to that of those who listen to it, and if it is heard in the voice of the Ruder. Dies cann dazu führen, dass man unterschiedliche Frequenzbereiche einstellt, obwohl man den gleichen Bereich anwählen möchte. Nach Rücksprache mit dem deutschen Vertrieb handelt sich hierbei wohl um einen Einzelfall, die Seriengeräte weisen diesen Fehler nicht auf.

While the man is close to the binding post, the frequency from 60 Hz to 2.1 kHz is set. Here you can see very well, the internal frequencies of the different bands are very austere and you have greater regulation and you have greater flexibility within the Klangbearbeitung. The Low-Mid-Equalizer is also the first of two full-parameter EQs, which is now higher with an adjustable frequency setting from 0.33 to 3.3. A set of EQ settings is a very effective EQ band, with the best possible frequencies for a Skalpell to make playback moves. This frequency band also applies to a separate sleep circuit and a Crush power circuit.

While we are close to the High Frequency, the frequency of 450 Hz to 13.7 kHz is higher. The abschließende high frequency band is that of the Aufbau which is also the bass adjustment segment. The frequency ranges from 1.2 kHz to 20 kHz and we have a single frequency setting, with 6 dB and 12 dB for each frequency. The falls already had an On-Off-Schalter and a Crush-Regler.

If Abschluss has the right to be found if it is a Hi-Cut, the High Cuts will be damaged by the Schärfe bzw. andere Spitzen aus dem Mix herausnehmen kann. The range is between 4 kHz and 31 kHz and is naturally also separated one by one and above the other. It is so, this equalizer is an overload hat, with the man who can do it, and the frequency bands in the Peak-Bereich lie.

The power amplifier is naturally also powerful, with plus/minus 15 dB drops, a separate bypass switch, and a 5-level output input (3x green, 1x green, 1x green). Events are duly taken into account in a small status, through the activity of informed agents.

The Drawmer 1971 search page is very detailed:

• Channel 1, 2: XLR input
• Channel 1, 2: XLR output
• Kaltgerätesteckerbuchse plus entsprechender Feinsicherung
• On-Off-Schalter, fertig.

The 1971 designer in practice

Nimmt man den Drawmer 1971 das erste Mal in Betrieb, kann man wirklich von einer intuitiven Bedienung sprechen. Das Gerät ist übersichtlich, alle Regelmöglichkeiten liegen offen vor einem under ist von seiner Bedienbarkeit her selflärend. Either of these was implemented effectively, as the mitt EQ settings are different, creating effective work, for many more back and forths in a place where you can connect, so it’s one of the best frequency bands.

Was this the first regulation in its case, it is the extreme flexibility, when a frequency band is used. The equalizer may not be usable under normal conditions. The Grundklang is for the neutral British authorities, but it is true that it has the general direction of signals, as the man from other British societies knows.

The repair items can be very useful in improving the environment and if they are damaged by Crush-Schalter hangs, they are one of the most frequent boosts. I was immersed in an A/B ratio and in all cases of fall, if the tests of the Schalters were carried out within the framework of the analog configuration and in the same point more in the architectural diagram of the designer 1971.

When the best Nutzer of 1971 in the mastering chain was created, he gave me the same tip with the path, the Drawmer-Equalizer fell into a subgroup to use it. It’s amazing, this is a man who can use klangliche effects, when a better group of instruments, for an example of guitar with keyboards or bass with a rhythm, separate, subtle, but also effective with this equalizer that is used. Besagte Instrumentengruppe setzt sich später im Mix um ein Vielfaches besser durch, si l’homme nachträglich versucht, in der Summe die richtige Frequenz für das richtige Instrument herauszufiltern and entsprechend zu verstärken orer abzusenken.
