Streamlined Monitor Controller with Top-shelf Sound
If you're searching for a monitor controller with top-shelf sound but don't need advanced features like talkback and room calibration, the Drawmer CMC2 is right up your alley. The CMC2 is loaded with the same transparent audio circuitry found in Drawmer's high-end offerings but exhibits a streamlined design that's tailor-made for smaller project studios. There are enough outputs to accommodate two sets of studio monitors and a subwoofer, as well as a built-in headphone amplifier and essential mix-checking features. The CMC2 is a superb cost-effective monitor controller with a solid design and superior sound quality.

All the features you need and none that you don't
The CMC2 was designed with ease-of-use in mind, so there are no unnecessary features to slow down your workflow. You get enough outputs for two sets of stereo studio monitors and a subwoofer, as well as intuitive Speaker Select buttons to toggle between them. Three inputs, two balanced and one unbalanced, accommodate up to three reference sources. You also get essential mix-checking facilities including polarity reversal, mono, dim, and mute. A built-in headphone amplifier with dedicated level control completes the package.
World-class design and construction
Drawmer didn't skimp on quality when they designed the CMC2. It utilizes the same low-noise transparent circuit design as its larger siblings, as well as a linear power supply with a low-hum toroidal transformer and an internal voltage selector switch. At Sweetwater, we're especially impressed by the CMC2's paralleled custom-quad pots. They not only exhibit a smooth feel, they also make channel matching a breeze. Add to that a rugged steel chassis and a stylish brushed aluminum cover, and you have a well-crafted, attractive piece of gear.
Drawmer: a legacy of pro audio innovation
Designed and crafted in the UK, Drawmer gear is sought after for its no-compromise design, build quality, and performance. Listen to your favorite music, and you’re likely hearing signal processing courtesy of Drawmer. In 1982, the company introduced its first product, the Model DS201 — the world’s first frequency-dependent noise gate — which transformed the humble gate into a powerful creative tool that would go on to play an important role in today’s music production. Two years later, Drawmer launched the 1960, a 2-channel tube preamp/DI/compressor that delivered the sonic character of coveted vintage units along with the speed and comprehensive controls modern engineers require. Since then, Drawmer has innovated with advanced technologies that address the challenges of maintaining analog warmth and musicality in the age of DAW-based production. Today, Drawmer products are used by top artists, engineers, and producers the world over. Sweetwater is proud to present to you this distinguished lineup of high-performance signal processing equipment.
