Whatever's ailing your audio mixes, Drawmer's MC3.1 has the cure. It's active circuitry is built transparent so that you hear your music, not your hardware. Audition up to five sources on any or all of your three sets of speakers and sub. Then solo the lows, mids, or highs of your mix and check for phase issues in the Mix Check section. Sweetwater knows audio purists will appreciate the Drawmer MC3.1's relay-based switching system, which defaults to bypassed when switches are out of the loop.
New tabletop design is easier to get your hands onDrawmer made its newest MC-series controller even easier to get your hands on. Sweetwater has been following the MC3.1 since Musikmesse, and we have to say, we think the wedge design is a big improvement. The front panel is built like a tank, with great-feeling knobs and switches that are built for a lifetime. Color-coded LEDs guide you through the MC3.1's three main sections, which makes it easy to navigate in the dark.
Calibrated playback level returns your ears to Magnetic NorthYou can calibrate the Drawmer MC3.1's Master Volume to play back material at a set level with the touch of a switch. Find the sweet spot in your room, calibrate the preset, then bring your ears back to harbor whenever you feel your mixes start to drift. Calibration is controlled via a set screw below the panel so you won't accidentally bump it unless you're really trying.
The latest in Drawmer's revered monitoring accuracyThe Drawmer MC3.1 excels in its unerring ability to faithfully reproduce what you've recorded.
