Frequently Asked Questions - MC2.1 DRAWMER
How do I set the threshold on the MC2.1?
Start with the threshold fully clockwise (0 dB). Gradually turn it counterclockwise until the Gain Reduction meter shows 2–3 dB of reduction on peaks. Adjust ratio and makeup gain accordingly.
What is the difference between soft and hard knee?
The MC2.1 features a variable knee control. Softer knee provides gradual compression onset, transparent for subtle dynamics control. Harder knee gives a more aggressive, punchy compression.
How do I connect the MC2.1 to my mixer?
Use balanced XLR or quarter-inch TRS cables. Connect mixer outputs to MC2.1 inputs, and outputs to mixer returns or next device. Ensure ground lift switch is set correctly to avoid hum.
Why is there no output signal?
Check power LED is lit. Ensure bypass switch is not engaged. Verify cables and connections. Check that threshold is not set to maximum (no compression). Also check that output gain is not turned fully down.
How do I use the link function for stereo operation?
Set both channels to identical settings. Engage the Link switch. Now the gain reduction is averaged between channels, keeping stereo image centered. Disengage for independent mono use.
What is the recommended attack time for vocals?
For natural vocal compression, start with attack around 10–20 ms. Faster attack (1–5 ms) grabs transients, slower (50 ms+) allows more punch. Adjust to taste.
Can I use the MC2.1 on a mix bus?
Yes, it is suitable for mix bus compression. Use a low ratio (2:1), soft knee, and moderate threshold for 2–3 dB of gain reduction. Set attack around 10 ms and release auto or medium (100 ms).
How do I clean the front panel?
Disconnect power. Use a slightly damp, lint-free cloth with water or mild soap. Do not spray directly. Dry with soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What do the gain reduction LEDs indicate?
The 12-segment LED meter shows gain reduction in dB from 0 to -20 dB. Each LED represents a specific reduction level. The more LEDs lit, the more compression is applied.
Is the MC2.1 serviceable by user?
No user-serviceable parts inside. Only authorized technicians should open the unit to avoid electric shock or damage. Contact Drawmer support for repairs.
