Details

Controls: Threshold (inf to -24dB), attack (slow/med/fast), release (6 modes incl. 2 programme-dependent), makeup gain (+20dB), switchable VU metering, side-chain listen, DI w/ onboard EQ, 48V phantom power, Normal/Bypass/Side-Chain-Listen modes

Notes: Functions as a mic-preamp + compressor combo (channel-strip-like), classified here as Compressor/Limiter per task's explicit COMPRESSORS list (1960 named there); could also reasonably be filed as Channel Strip - flagged as a judgment call. Power 230V/115V 38VA (VA, not watts). GBP-only, no USD price. Drawmer's '19xx' model numbers denote the vintage decade/era the design pays homage to, not the actual year of introduction; actual year_intro left blank since not explicitly stated on the product page (golden rule: blanks over guesses).
