Enhance your sound while you compress!

With a DL Series compressor in your studio you'll enjoy seamless compression - with no loss of sound in the high frequencies. The DL Series incorporates Drawmer's original "Auto-Compressor" circuitry, which gives you optimal results in minimal setup time, but doesn't compromise your skill with limited controls. The DL251 eliminates the "high frequency cutting" problems of full-band compressors by use of "Dynamic Spectral Enhancement" feature. It restores your high frequencies and adds additional "Spectral Energy" for that extra sonic spark. The DL241 Auto-Compressor uses many automatic functions, letting you concentrate on the overall performance and feel rather than the equipment. The result is smooth, warm and transparent audio. The DL441 Quad Auto Compressor/Limiter captures four channels of the innovative DL241 Auto Compressor in only 1U of rack space.
