The Drawmer 1972:

• Two extremely transparent THAT Corporation mic preamps with 66 dB of gain adjustable in 6 dB increments, and +/-12 dB trim control on output
• Professional quality DI instrument input on the front panel and separate line and mic inputs (XLR) on the rear panel
  
• Suitable for a wide range of sources, instruments and all microphone types in the studio: from affordable to high-end, including ribbon microphones
  
• Switchable microphone impedance for precise microphone matching and sound shaping
  
• Multiple functions not available at other preamps allow easy miking of even problematic sources
  
• Unique lift function for boosting extremely quiet signals without clipping during signal peaks
  
• Adjustable LoCut and HiCut filters for signal adjustment and elimination of unwanted sound components
  
• Shape switch for adjusting bass and treble via a subtle tilt EQ
  
• With phantom power and phase switch
  

An overview of the 1972

With the 1972, Drawmer expands its renowned 1970 series to include a two-channel preamp with exceptional signal flexibility. Based on separate inputs for mic, line, and instrument signals, the 1972 combines precise, clean amplification with key signal processing capabilities, as well as the unique LIFT feature for intelligent, dynamic amplification of low signal levels during recording. Like all models in the 1970 series, the 1972 is manufactured entirely at Drawmer's UK headquarters.

Applications

On 1U, the Drawmer 1972 Dual Mic/Line/Instrument preamplifier impresses with a clearly structured design: The six-position selector switch determines the input source: Line, Instrument or Microphone - the latter optionally with 48 V phantom power or variable input impedance (200Ω, 800Ω, 2.4 kΩ), and also ribbon and dynamic microphones can be processed optimally. Since both channels are identical and can be controlled independently, the 1972 can be used to precisely implement a wide variety of signal and microphone combinations in the Studio - for example, the simultaneous use of a dynamic and a ribbon microphone for guitar amp pickup or the joint processing of a pickup and microphone signal when recording an acoustic guitar.
