Drawmer S3

The reference class: The stereo 3-band optical compressor S3 includes the latest developments in circuit Ivor Drawmers developers room for high-end equipment. Goal from the beginning was the development of a circuit without technical compromises, always using the best components.

The S3 forms the basis for the new "Signature Series" and offers previously unattainable control over the tonality of each of the three frequency bands. A gain controls for each band, the most accurate spectral balance. The signal path consists of a powerful and output transformers, passive components and 10 tubes (8 x ECC83 and 2 x 12BH7) and is designed as a fully balanced Class A design.

Due to the very temperature sensitive LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) of the opto-compressor, the S3 with an "electronic oven" features, which produces an optimal Betriebstemparatur the LDRs and maintain. In a stable calibration is ensured. In addition, performance is improved. An LED on the front panel displays the temperature status.

Viewing of transient information, the large-scale VU meters in the "peak" mode can be switched. In addition, there are two other modes VU meters (+10 dB and +20 dB) for displaying output levels up to +30 dBm.

The master output section includes controls for balancing the gain and balance on the stereo left / right ratio unausgewogenem or exaggerated bearbeitetetem starting material.
