Accurate & Transparent
Coming from the same stable as the MC2.1, MC3.1 and MC7.1 you can be sure of
the same high quality for the Drawmer CMC7 Surround Monitor Controller. The
circuit is just as transparent and accurate. It's controls have the same quality feel
and operation and the huge volume knob provides excellent channel matching,
and smooth feel. You hear exactly what you've recorded!
Surround Sound
The 8 inputs and outputs are provided via two balanced 25 pin d-sub connectors
wired to the Tascam standard making connecting easy. It allows for 8 independent
channels, 5.1, 7.1, quadraphonic, DTS®, Dolby Digital EX,THX Surround EX™,
DTS-HD™, Dolby Atmos®, etc, the setup is up to the user.
With the Stereo Mix switch active the surround mix can be bounced down to a 2.1
signal in the front left and right monitors and sub-woofer, to test the quality of the
recording when in stereo. In addition, it has a professional quality stereo headphone
output with a separate amplifier and level control, that provides private mix checking,
a DIM switch reduces output by 20dB and a MUTE switch is also available to cut the
output completely.
Precision
The circuit design of the CMC7 ensures that the channel matching of all 8 channels
is consistent throughout the full range of the volume control. Other manufacturers of
surround controllers use multi-ganged potentiometers to achieve the levels of the
8 channels, this is especially true of passive surround controllers, this simplifies
the circuit but leads to discrepancies in the level of each channel, especially at the
lower and upper volumes, where accurate channel matching can vary wildly.
Compact
The CMC7 packs a lot of features into a small package. With a footprint of just
18x16cm and a very low profile the CMC7 won't hog your desk space like some
other controllers do. And if your on the move it's small enough to pop into a bag to
take anywhere.
Tough & Secure
W hilst being smart and stylish the rugged, all steel enclosure will withstand the
knocks and bumps of the studio, and, coupled with the high quality components
used, the CMC7 is built to last. In addition, a Kensington security slot provides
protection from thieves.
