The Drawmer MC7.1 is a dedicated 7.1/5.1 surround and stereo monitor controller that delivers all the mix-checking tools needed for surround production without compromising stereo accuracy. It shares the pristine, transparent sound and rugged desktop wedge design of the acclaimed MC3.1, making it a versatile centrepiece for any professional studio.
As surround sound becomes standard across film, TV, streaming, gaming and immersive formats, engineers need tools that can keep pace. With the MC7.1, you can work in 7.1, 5.1, quadraphonic, DTS®, Dolby Digital EX™, THX Surround EX™, DTS-HD™ and more - all while maintaining Drawmer's trademark accuracy and transparency.
Unlike many surround controllers that overlook stereo, the MC7.1 excels in both. Whether you’re mixing for film or fine-tuning a stereo master, it lets you switch instantly between formats. Its comprehensive stereo mix-check functions - identical to those of the MC3.1 - can also be applied to any surround channel routed to stereo, giving you full confidence across every mix format.
I can honestly give the Drawmer MC7.1 my highest recommendation – if you don't need all the capabilities of the MC7.1, I recommend giving the rest of their monitor controller range serious consideration.
A secondary preset volume control provides a calibrated, repeatable monitoring level. With a single switch, you can return to your preferred reference point without readjusting the main volume.
The MC7.1 offers maximum flexibility for modern workflows, with:
The mix-down function routes surround signals to the front L/R or stereo mains, while a powerful cut/solo matrix lets you isolate or combine any channel. Solo the rears, check the centre or LFE, or fold down to stereo for compatibility - all at the touch of a button.
Additional features include:
Smart, stylish and solid, the steel chassis is built to endure daily studio use. With premium components throughout, the MC7.1 is engineered for years of reliable, transparent performance.
