DRAWMER
The Drawmer MC7.1 Surround Monitor Controller is a combined 7.1/5.1 and stereo
monitor controller. It has the same pristine & transparent design as others from the
Drawmer monitor controller pedigree, with a rugged desk top "wedge" form factor
as used in the popular MC3.1.
Whether it is producing audio for film or television, or transporting the listener
directly into the venue of an all encompassing orchestral piece, be it in 5.1, 7.1,
quadraphonic, DTS®, Dolby Digital EX,THX Surround EX™, DTS-HD™, Dolby
Atmos®, etc., one thing is sure, the number of users that wish to listen to audio
within a surround setting has been growing and will continue to do so. There has
been an ever increasing number of surround products coming to market, not only
blueray players and home cinema but also on mobile and media devices. For
example, Apple devices have been capable of reproducing 7.1 surround since iOS
9.3. Therefore, it is likely that at some point every artist and engineer will consider
trying surround sound, or fear being left behind.
Boasting two sets of balanced 7.1 Inputs, a 7.1 through, 1 Balanced Stereo Input
and a convenient front panel Aux Input, with Balanced 7.1 Speaker outs and an
independent Stereo main out with its own sub woofer option, there are no shortage
of connectivity options. The Drawmer MC7.1 is capable of supporting any speaker setu
, from mono, to stereo, various modes of surround, or 8 independent channels,
depending on input type and speaker positioning.
The MC7.1 is a powerful Surround Monitor Controller in its own right, but is also
perfect for controlling and checking your stereo mixes. This is one area where
other surround monitoring controllers fall short. All studios, whether dedicated to
film audio post production, or small home studio will at some time (if not most of
the time) work in stereo as well as surround. Aside from the surround capabilities,
the MC7.1 contains the same comprehensive set of stereo "mix check" functions
that are presented on the MC3.1 and which can of course be applied to the stereo
input channel or any of the surround channels when these are routed to stereo.
