LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – OCTOBER 2014: Ivor Drawmer, veteran designer and manufacturer of boutique high-end audio processors, has earned a 2014 Resolution Award for the new Drawmer 1973 three-band stereo FET compressor. The Drawmer 1973 benefits from Ivor’s deep, thirty-plus years of experience building best-in-class signal processors and is unique in its combination of three critical attributes: its controls are remarkably easy to use, its price is low, and its sound is, of course, beautifully musical. Resolution Magazine’s Resolution Award is determined by industry expert nominations and reader votes, and the Drawmer 1973 edged out three other respected manufacturers in the “Dynamics” category.
“The Drawmer 1973 multiband compressor is the kind of tool that mix and mastering engineers will find so useful they’ll wonder how they ever got by without it,” said Brad Lunde, president of TransAudio Group, Drawmer’s U.S. distributor. “It has a pristine signal path that imparts dimensionality and life to a signal – even as the processing tames its dynamics, and the multiband controls are easy to visualize and work with. Nevertheless, Drawmer has set the price of the 1973 far, far lower than its quality and features justify. The 2014 Resolution Award win is nice validation of everything we’re so excited about in the Drawmer 1973.”
