The award winning 1973 is a multi-band compressor with the versatility, control and ability to shape sound that no full band compressor could ever provide and at an affordable price.
Expanding on the renowned range of dynamics processors Drawmer introduce an affordable Three Band Stereo FET Compressor that every engineer will completely appreciate – the 1973. The culmination of 30 years of development and experience, the 1973 combines the functionality and control of the world class Drawmer S3 with the familiarity and quality of the illustrious 1960 and 1968, providing three bands of transparent, intuitive compression for the price of a conventional single full band compressor.
How does the 1973 differ from a full band compressor? In essence, the 1973 comprises a set of crossover filters that splits the audio signal into three frequency bands, each split signal then passes through its own compressor and is independently adjusted, after which the signals are recombined and the final Wet/Dry mix and levels can be adjusted. The advantage is that one band’s compression has no affect on the others.
What’s so good about a three band compressor anyway? The 1973 can pull off amazing feats that a single-band compressor could never accomplish. For example, it can easily prevent an acoustic guitar, cello, or double bass from sounding boomy on low notes without thinning the highs.
Are you recording a vocal track that sounds too shrill? The timbre can easily be altered without eliminating detail and clarity. Adding heavier compression in the bass band can add to the thickness and richness of the voice, in the mid band raspiness is controlled, whilst compression to the high band can give sizzle and definition to an otherwise bland voice. In addition, sibilance can easily be tamed.
In a mastering situation, having independent control over each band can resolve a problem mix, pulling out individual instruments, brightening the brilliance/air or making the bottom end of a mix sound huge while simultaneously avoiding “pumping” or “breathing” artifacts and increasing headroom.
Features:
Standard intuitive controls such as Threshold, Gain, Switched Attack & Release with Gain Reduction Metering on Each Band.
Fast Reacting Soft Knee F.E.T. Design with excellent Left/Right Tracking across the Full Range of compression.
Variable Wet/Dry Mix plus Output Gain Knobs give a ‘Parallel Compression’ function without the need for external mixing devices, providing Complete and Effortless Control over the amount of compression used and Output Levels.
Variable Band Split Filters at a 6dB Per Octave slope with Switch-able Mute and Bypass on Each Band make ‘Tuning In’ to a Frequency Simple.
‘Big’ and ‘Air’ Modes Help to preserve the Very Deep Lows and Enhance the Sparkling Highs.
Two Analogue V.U. Meters with Switchable +10dB Meter Rescale Modes and a Switchable ‘Peak’ mode to Display Fast Transients Not Normally Seen on Conventional V.U.s.
Dedicated Gain Reduction Meters On Each Band.
Internal Low Hum Toroidal Linear Power Supply with Voltage Selector Switch.
Classic Drawmer Build Quality with Rugged Steel Chassis and Aluminium Front Panel.

Features Four Independent Compressor Channels Channels 1 and 2, 3 and 4 are stereo linkable 7 LED Gain Reduction metering Balanced XLR Inputs and Outputs Sidechain Insert points Intuitive, user friendly layout Flawless performance
The sheer amount of effects and signal processors necessary for today's standards of audio production puts a great strain on the available space in equipment racks, both in the studio and on the road.So, ARX would like to introduce the ARX Quadcomp. An all-new upgrade of the classic award-winning ARX Quadcomp?, the very first four channel 1 RU compressor.You?ll notice that we haven?t strayed very far from our original design concept. The Quadcomp is still four variable ratio Compressor/ Limiters neatly housed in a compact all steel 1 RU package. However, all new low noise/low distortion circuitry, better metering plus XLR inputs and outputs put the Quadcomp in a class of its own. More Control, Less Space On the front panel, each channel has the 'industry standard' individual controls for Threshold, Compression Ratio and Output, plus a new 7 LED Gain Reduction display for accurate visual indication of the amount of gain reduction being applied to the program, and an IN/OUT hardwire bypass switch.In addition to this, each channel has a blank numbered panel to write on for easy confirmation of compressor assigns. Precision Circuitry Internally, each compressor uses Class A VCAs and true 2 pole averaging RMS/DC converters for low distortion and accuracy, plus program dependent attack and release time, which automatically determines optimum compressor response. Balanced Inputs and Outputs The rear panel has true differential Balanced XLR Inputs and Outputs for each compressor. Each compressor has a TRS jack Sidechain access insert point, for frequency sensitive compression, De-essing, etc. in conjunction with an external equalizer (such as the ARX EQ260). Compressor pairs 1 and 2, 3 and 4 also have rear panel mounted Stereo Link switches for accurate stereo tracking. When switched IN, the first channel becomes the master and controls all the functions of the second except Output gain. Universal AC Power AC power range is switchable 100 to 120V, or 220 to 240V, and is connected to the unit via a standard IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage switch. Whatever the application ? Channel insert, Bus insert, Master Outputs, Monitor outputs, Crossover outputs, the Quadcomp II?s unique High Density design, precision Low Noise circuitry and clean uncluttered layout make it a truly useful audio tool for all applications.
