Drawmer DL251 Spectral Compressor

DL251 Spectral Compressor description:

The Drawmer DL251 Spectral Compressor. Unique dual channel compressor with circuitry designed to restore high frequency energy under heavy compression.

The Drawmer DL251 eliminates the high frequency cutting problems of full-band compressors by use of the Dynamic Spectral Enhancement feature. It restores your high frequencies and adds additional "Spectral Energy" for that extra sonic spark. This enhancement circuitry is extremely effective where compression and limiting are employed for broadcast transmission, or across complete mixes in a stereo mixdown situation. Dynamic Spectral Enhancement has many creative applications when recording individual components at the multi-track stage, particularly on such instruments as acoustic guitar, piano, brass and vocals.

The main features of the Drawmer DL251 include:

• Switchable hard/soft knee compressor section with variable threshold, ratio and output gain
• Selectable auto/manual attack and release
• Enhance section incorporating Drawmer’s proprietary ‘Dynamic Spectral Enhancement’ circuitry designed to restore high frequency energy under heavy compression
• High resolution extended bargraph metering of gain reduction and input/output level
• Variable threshold ‘zero overshoot’ transparent limiter
• Side chain access, side chain listen
• Switchable -10dB/+4dB operating level
• Balanced XLR input/output connectors
