Excellent Channel Strip!

By Sweetwater Customer on December 13, 2023

This is not the first channel strip I purchased for a need, but it was the final. I first opted for a channel strip at about half the cost of this Drawmer MXPro-60. That didn't go so well, and although this is not an inexpensive unit, it is 100% reliable and of much better quality than the more common channel strips.

If you're looking at this review and don't buy it, there's a good chance you'll come back and buy this one anyway.

A HUGE SURPRISE

By Sweetwater Customer on June 5, 2023

This little unit is just amazing.
I have tried or owned just about everything there is (almost) but the Drawmer MX60 really surprised me.
Very easy to use.
The tube sound section is the secret from just a little to extreme character.
All the other sections are also good.
If you are looking for a channel strip you should absolutely give this one a try.

This is number four

I use this as a vocal strip in all my keyboard rigs. I run the mic signal directly into the MXPro, out of the PRo into a TC Helicon Voice Live Rack and into the mixer in stereo which is great to use vocal effects in the stereo PA. I can also send a seperate output to Front of House when I not using my PA. Great features and a very uncolored sound.

MX Pro-60 Front End One.

Very impressive channel strip. This product is well worth the money. Any sound signal you put through this beast is going to make it sound way better. You can shape your vocals, guitars, bass, or drums in seemingly endless ways. The Tube Sound adds stunning warmth which is further manipulated by the 3 band EQ. You can't go wrong!

Harsh Vocal Tamer!

By JV1 from PhillyBurbs on December 22, 2019 Music Background: Old singer who maybe found the harshness cure in the MX60

For years I've been trying to reduce my harsh male vocals with EQ plug-ins via Apollo and even bought a WARM EQ (which is missing the critical 2.5 khz frequency detent), but was never very happy with the results so I took a chance and ordered the MX60 because of its sweepable parametric EQ. In under 2 minutes of tweaking, my harsh male vocals were tamed. I just sang my annoyingly loud and long "eeeeeeEEEE" sound that is way louder than my other vowel sounds, found the exact annoying frequency (around 2.5 khz), cut it about 12 db, adjusted the spread a bit, and the harshness was gone. Kinda like having a surgical procedure but no knives involved. Not only that, but the noise gate works invisibly without any pops when it opens. I'm not even using the MX60's tubes or compressor at this point as this is the last hardware piece in my vocal chain (LA-610, WARM LA2A, WARM 1176, WARM EQ (on bypass)) and at the end, the Warmer MX60, then into the Apollo twin. I should try the MX60 by itself and maybe sell the other stuff, lol. Wish I had known about the MX60 a few years ago but better late than never. It's a real game-changer like getting LeBron on your team...

Solid bang for the buck

By KOLL from NYC on January 8, 2018 Music Background: Recording/Mix Engineer & Producer

I"ve owned various pre"s over the years and the MXPRO-60 is totally underrated! If you"re on the budget it"s definitely a contender. For the price range it"s a pretty clean pre amp. It"s jam packed with gate, compressor, de-esser, lo/hi shelving and 3 band mid parametric eq section, with tube sound section. You can add tube sound/drive to lo, mid, or high. You can set base levels and leave everything at zero and you still get the bang for the buck. Or you can tinker around and shape and sculpt your sound. It"s a great buy and I definitely recommend it. It"s clean when I want it to be clean and gritty when I want it to be gritty. Most important it sounds big and warm. It"s versatile and sounds great with any mic. I consider it a solid buy!!! Thanks Mike Hammond for the great customer service!

An excellent preamp!

This unit is the best, found no review on the internet, I decided to risk it and bought more.
The equalizer has a great musicality, the compressor works perfect and simulation works by heating the tubes sound.
I nominate buying

Worth the money

By Dave P. from Roswell, GA on February 10, 2019

I'd been looking for a single space all-in-one unit on a budget, without much luck. I'd held out hope for a $299 unit from a trusted brand (won't name names) but the mic pre crapped out quickly, and I later learn that was common for that $299 piece of gear. I have "expensive taste" in gear but not the wallet to back the taste (kids cost money) and so I'm always looking for a professional sound on a budget. This unit is clean and for sure gets the job done. There's not much "wow-factor" but at this price for an all-in-one unit I wasn't really expecting that. I've found the compressor useful and the EQ section as well, with both sections also being clean. I'm not as into the "tube" section, but didn't expect to be. If you want that vintage sound you have to spend the bucks. Overall so far this unit is worth the money for the basics that it provides.
