Incorporated into the 1973 is the вЂMixвЂ™ Control. Mix Control вЂ“ Precisely Control the Amount of Compression Applied! To the right are the large, illuminated V.U. The front panel consists of three near identical compressor bands, flowing left to right, with the Variable Crossover Frequency knobs separating them. Multiband compressors can be intimidating and difficult to use due to the number of controls and poor lay out, with this in mind, the 1973 has been designed to be as simple, familiar and intuitive as possible whilst still giving complete control over the audio. Classic Drawmer Build Quality with Rugged Steel Chassis and Aluminum Front Panel.Internal Low Hum Toroidal Linear Power Supply with Voltage Selector Switch.Dedicated Gain Reduction Meters On Each Band.Meters with Switchable +10dB Meter Rescale Modes and a Switchable вЂPeakвЂ™ mode to Display Fast Transients Not Normally Seen on Conventional V.U.s. вЂBigвЂ™ and вЂAirвЂ™ Modes Help to preserve the Very Deep Lows and Enhance the Sparkling Highs.

Variable Band Split Filters at a 6dB Per Octave slope with Switch-able Mute and Bypass on Each Band make вЂTuning InвЂ™ to a Frequency Simple.

Variable Wet/Dry Mix plus Output Gain Knobs give a вЂParallel CompressionвЂ™ function without the need for external mixing devices, providing Complete and Effortless Control over the amount of compression used and Output Levels.

Design with excellent Left/Right Tracking across the Full Range of compression.

Standard intuitive controls such as Threshold, Gain, Switched Attack & Release with Gain Reduction Metering on Each Band.

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 вЂњpumpingвЂќ or вЂњbreathingвЂќ artifacts and increasing headroom. In addition, sibilance can easily be tamed.

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. For example, it can easily prevent an acoustic guitar, cello, or double bass from sounding boomy on low notes without thinning the highs.ДЄre you recording a vocal track that sounds too shrill? The timbre can easily be altered without eliminating detail and clarity. WhatвЂ™s so good about a three band compressor anyway? The 1973 can pull off amazing feats that a single-band compressor could never accomplish. The advantage is that one bandвЂ™s compression has no affect on the others. 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 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 19, providing three bands of transparent, intuitive compression for the price of a conventional single full band compressor. The 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.Д®xpanding on the renowned range of dynamics processors Drawmer introduce an affordable Three Band Stereo FET Compressor that every engineer will completely appreciate вЂ“ the 1973.
