A breakthrough multi-band compressor that solves all of the problems inherent in traditional compressors.
The Drawmer S3 Multi-Band Stereo Tube Compressor offers previously unattainable control and tonality over each of the three bands. Gain control at each stage provides precise spectral balancing. The signal path consists of high performance input/output transformers, passive components and 10 tubes: 8 ECC83 and 2 12BH7 configured as a fully balanced Class A design.
Because the LDR s (Light Dependent Resistors) in the compressors are temperature sensitive the Drawmer S3 houses an electronic oven which provides and sustains the optimum LDR operating temperature - thereby maintaining calibration accuracy and improving performance.
The S3 stereo tube compressor's front panel LED indicates temperature status. Large-scale VU meters are switchable to Peak mode to show transient information. Two further VU meter re-scale modes are available (+10dB and +20dB) to accurately display the S3 compressor's ability to output levels of up to +30dBm.
The Drawmer S3 Multi-Band Stereo Tube compressor has a master output section that includes controls for both Gain and stereo balance to compensate for source material with a Left/Right imbalance or disproportionate processing.
