Drawmer 1961 Two-Channel Tube Parametric EQ

Two-channel tube parametric EQ
MFR# 1961

Product Description

It has long been recognized that vacuum tubes impart a unique 'warmth' and 'musicality' to an audio signal, but many of the 'classic' tube equalizer fall short of the technical performance demanded in today's digital recording age.

Designed to complement the widely acclaimed Drawmer 1960 Mic Pre-Amp Vacuum Tube Compressor, the Drawmer 1961 Vacuum Tube Equalizer combines low noise circuitry with no fewer than twelve active tube stages to provide two channels of exceptiona equalization possessing unique 'personality'.  Rather than employ a continuously variable resistor as a means of frequency control, the 1961 utilizes the same rotary 'step' switching system used in vintage designs.  This enables the component values for each frequency band to be optimized for uncompromising performance across the entire audio spectrum and also makes setting up more accurate, particularly when treating stereo signals.

The design of the 1961 allows the user to control the amount of 'warmth' by deciding how hard to drive the tubes giving a sound as 'clean' as the best discrete solid state designs or as 'hot' as the 'hottest' classic tube designs.  The 1961 and 1960 Can be 'interlinked' to provide, in effect, a two channel vacuum tube mixing console, - the perfect mastering or post audio 'sweetening' tool.

Facilities available on the 1961 include:

  • A variable input level of -20dB to +20dB ensures compatibility with a wide range of input source material and enables the user to optimize signal level and drive the tubes 'soft' or 'hot' as required. LED bargraph displays give a clear indication of the input signal level.
  • High Pass Filter. A variable 12dB/Octave roll-off filter adjustable from - 20Hz to 500Hz section enables the user to remove unwanted low frequencies and sub-sonic noise.
  • Each channel of the 1961 has four main equalizer sections with six carefully chosen overlapping frequencies and a separate tube stage for increased harmonic clarity. Each section also includes variable band width from 0.3 Octave to 3 Octaves and +18dB of Cut and Boost.

    BASS frequencies (Hz) 20, 32, 50, 80, 125, 200
    LO-MID frequencies (Hz) 100,180, 250, 400, 650,1K
    HI-MID frequencies (kHz) 0.5, 0.8,1.2, 2.0, 3.2, 5.0
    TREBLE frequencies (kHz) 2.5, 4, 6,10,15, 25

  • A variable 12dB/Octave roll-off filter adjustable from 2.5kHz to 42kHz enables the user to remove high frequency interference or to band limit excessively high levels of high frequencies.
  • Two additional tube stages in the output section of each channel allow the user to achieve 'soft clipping' by adjusting the input level control whilst visually monitoring the effect upon the 'Soft' and 'O/L' (Overload) LEDs.

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.

From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
