The MX30-Pro is a dual-channel gate, compressor and limiter that brings Drawmer's renowned dynamics control to studios, musicians and live engineers working to a tighter budget. Built around proven circuit designs drawn from our top-end products, it delivers the same transparent, musical performance in a streamlined format that's fast and intuitive to use.
Each channel features Drawmer's 'Programme Adaptive' gate - an intelligent, variable-threshold circuit that automatically adjusts attack, hold and release to keep operation smooth and chatter-free. Switchable Fast and Slow modes tailor the response to any source, from tightening drums or cleaning up guitar mics to removing noise from vocals and instruments without dulling transients or losing punch.
Even absolute beginners will find it difficult to get to a bad sound out of the MX30
The gate feeds into a variable-threshold, soft-knee compressor that delivers natural, musical control with automatic attack and release. Large transients are handled instantly while subtle variations are smoothed out to maintain life and presence in the signal. A variable ratio control allows everything from gentle level correction to full limiting, with clear LED metering to show gain reduction at a glance.
A variable-threshold, zero-overshoot limiter forms the final stage, catching peaks cleanly without distortion. The limiter provides reliable protection for digital mastering, loudspeaker safety, or creative level control in live setups. Output gain offers up to ±20dB of adjustment, and stereo linking ensures both channels track together for consistent, stable stereo imaging.
