Drawmer CMC2

Buttons breaks

I had a CMC2 for a couple of year and I like the audio quality and the way it works a lot. Unfortunately after just two years use buttons starts to breaks. My mute and mono buttons dosn't work properly anymore and I have to fix it. The plastic used for these buttons is made in a very bad quality

good but not excellent as I've been told-

The power supply input wobbles a lot, putting your monitor at risk, I McGyver it with some tape. The ground noise is sensible, not disturbing but sensible.

Very disappointed by very weird defect.

Headphone output seems to be defective. When you plug in headphones left channel is MUCH quieter than the right channel. Tried different headphones, different input sources, different cables - the problem is definitely within Drawmer.

Disapointed

After 3 months of slight use in studio main knob became scratchy. All coonectors on the back seem to be held only by pcb soldering this caused signal lost or volume drops while working. Then you have to put preassure on each of them findind which one is not making a contact or so. AH yes, when volume is fully counter clockwise it still elt the volume to pass and it is pretty audible. Expected mroe from Drawmer...

audiophile sound quality - excellent preamp / controller

unbeatable for its price. best upgrade ever. I ve been using cheaper passive controllers before and this sounds so much better , fuller without any left /right balance problem at all. Every I/O are balanced, headphone out is also of top quality. built like a tank and it look cool too. highly recommended!!

Bloody marvelous

Used in my studio now for a month or 2 and all I can say is this is a very nice sounding and practical monitor controller. The features are dare I say, perfect, for a music studio.

The build and price are very good, although the jack sockets on the back are a tad close together, but hey..

Ive tried a few controllers over the years, including very expensive stuff like Crane Song and very low cost Mackie stuff.. The CS was great but was a faff setting up via USB and not worth all that money, many other low cost controllers can me a liability to a professional studio.. This Drawmer is EXCELLENT and perfect for a general music making studio environment, with the Mono, Sum & Dif, Phase, Mute and switching between monitors. I have a little mono speaker connected to the Sub so you can connect 3 sets of speakers, 2 stereo and one mono.

Good work Drawmer, spot on sound, clear, full range, uncolored. Its a keeper.

Simple look simple but very effective using

I have two pairs of monitors: Very easy to switch between them with this device, all the buttons are handy and easy to learn where they are - after one day You must not look at the device to use the buttons and knobs.

Phase change, dim, mono, the two input and the aux input is great, all I need is there. It's sound is open and clean, actually much more open than my previous controller. sub connector is a great feature too.

My mix is simply better with this device.

Headphone out also good, but my Lake People head amp is a bit better

Setup: UAD Apollo 16 MKII dynaudio bm15a, EMU PM5 with KRK Rokit 10S subwoofer .

I absolutely missed this

Not as transparent as you?d expect

Harsh highs and munched lows (probably due to cheap switched-mode chinese power supply). Solid build quality, design and features. Perfect left/right tracking. Bought this unit to save some space on the desk, but?.

Conclusion: It?s probably OK for this price range, but expected a bit more from Drawmer.

Drawmer CMC2 hits the spot.

The CMC2 is exactly right for my modest, one room, home studio set up.

This little unit has everything I actually need;

- Two main inputs and an additional AUX input with input gain control.

- Two stereo main outputs, a mono (sub) out and a headphone output

with independent level control.

- A very smooth and accurate master volume knob.

- Mute, Dim, Mono and phase reverse switches.

- LED indicators for every function.

More importantly it has nothing I don't really need; no talk-back, no 5.1/7.1 functionality, no multiple headphone outputs and no convertors.

Built like the proverbial tank, my Neumann KH120A's love it, my AKG K612 PRO's love it.

All in all this is a big step up from my (passive) Mackie Big Knob monitor controller at a very competitive price.
