Drawmer CMC3 Monitor Controller

THE CLASSIC TB-303 SOUNDThe Drawmer CMC3 Compact Monitor Controller includes enhanced features taken from Drawmer's 3 most popular monitor controllers, whilst maintaining the beloved accurate, and transparent audio quality of the MC2.1, it has the same precision and control of the MC3.1 with the low profile, compact design of the CMC2 and is just as at home in a serious home studio as in a professional recording studio.

The CMC3 gives you accuracy of your monitor controller that you can rely on, without colouring the sound. Unlike a lot of controllers, Drawmer monitor controllers do not flavour, colour, warm, improve or brighten the signal, the active circuit has been made to faithfully produce the audio signal whilst eliminating problems that a passive circuit can often bring. For all Drawmer monitor controllers it is guaranteed that what you record is exactly what you hear.

Amazing Features • Timed relay protection on all speaker outputs to prevent power up/down bangs
• Stylish and Rugged Enclosure will withstand the knocks of the studio
• Very low profile desktop enclosure with a footprint of just 18x16cm
• 2x Headphone Amplifiers with Individual Level Controls
• Ultra low noise and transparent circuit design

Precise PlaybackFeaturing the same Drawmer platform as the MC2.1, the CMC3 circuit is just as transparent and accurate. It has been designed to eliminate the limitations caused by a passive circuit, such as the ability to increase the volume for quiet passages and improved mix checking, without adding the artifacts that lesser quality active circuits bring, allowing you to truthfully hear what you recorded.

The CMC3 supports 3 sets of stereo monitors, along with a dedicated mono speaker/sub-woofer output, each can be switched separately and simultaneously, in any order, especially useful for A/B comparisons. You can listen to several speakers with the same sub-woofer, or turn the sub-woofer off altogether.

The volume control and secondary preset volume control on the front both utilize a paralleled custom quad pot for outstanding channel matching and smooth feel. This offers repeatable calibrated output level for the monitors, so just by a flick of a switch the engineer can hear the mix at the same predetermined volume, time after time, without having to tediously adjust controls.

Multiple ConnectionsThe CMC3 comes with flexible connectivity options, including 4 stereo inputs in total: 1x SPDIF digital input (24 bit/192kHz), using the same DAC chipset as the established MC3.1 monitor controller, 2 stereo balanced jack inputs, plus a 3.5mm jack with variable level control for your Smartphone/MP3 Player.

It also includes 2 professional quality headphone outputs with a separate amplifier and level control, offering the same audio quality and mix checking as the CMC3 does through the speakers. Talkback is also available with internal or external microphone, level control and audio routing to a dedicated mono output jack & headphones.

The comprehensive mix checking facilities of the CMC3 include dim, mono, phase reverse, left and right cut along with an easy access mute switch, so you can check the quality of your recordings: tune into your mix to hear any unwanted artefacts, test the effectiveness of the stereo mix, check for phase cancellation, listen to the stereo difference.
