![]() Fast transients are clipped instantly whilst more sustained peaks are dealt with by applying Gain Reduction, indicated by a single LED. The Limit threshold provides an absolute maximum peak level which no signal can pass. A variable Threshold 'zero overshoot' limiter, essential for avoiding distortion when mastering to digital or speaker protection in a 'live' situation, adds the final polish to the signal by keeping control over signal peaks. The Gain control is used to compensate for the amount of compression and brings the signal to the required output level as displayed by the output bargraph meter. From the slightest to the most aggressive levels of compression, the MX30 handles it all with ease and displays the amount of compression taking place on a high resolution Gain Reduction bargraph meter. Large transients are controlled instantly whilst small signal variations are treated gently, retaining as much 'life' as possible and without generating unpredictable side effects. ![]() ![]() The gate is followed by a variable Threshold, variable Ratio, soft knee compressor with fully automatic Attack and Release. The 'Slow' mode is more suitable for vocals and instruments with longer decay times or can be used to smooth over rough fade outs. The 'Fast' mode can be used for instruments with rapid decay times or for additional tightening of the gating effect. Switching is provided for 'Fast' or 'Slow' release characteristics. This design approach also retains all 'leading edge' information making the gate ideal for 'cleaning up' vocals or retaining the 'punch' on gated drums. Two LED's show when the signal is 'above' or 'below' Threshold and a push button switch allows additional control of Release time. 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. Used to remove unwanted noise below a pre-set level, each channel consists of a variable Threshold Gate incorporating Drawmer's 'Programme Adaptive' circuitry. Operational control is split into three sections:- Gate, Compressor, Output: The MX30's competitive price point brings Drawmer's professional processing into a much wider musician, project studio and live performance area. 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 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. ![]()
