The CMC7 is a compact 8-channel (7.1 / 5.1) surround volume controller - a cost-effective alternative to the more complex, feature-rich MC7.1. Designed to remain budget-friendly and portable, it omits functions already handled in your workstation software, focusing instead on essential controls, intuitive operation and a pristine signal path. The result is transparent, accurate audio across all channels.
Many monitor controllers can introduce unwanted colouration into your sound. With every Drawmer monitor controller, what you record is exactly what you hear. The CMC7's active circuit is engineered to faithfully reproduce the signal while avoiding the compromises of passive designs, ensuring guaranteed accuracy and transparency.
Connectivity is provided via two balanced 25-pin D-sub connectors, wired to the Tascam standard for easy integration. The CMC7 supports eight independent channels, accommodating popular surround formats including:
A stereo mix switch allows the surround mix to be summed to a 2.1 signal in the front left/right monitors and subwoofer - ideal for checking stereo compatibility.
A professional-quality stereo headphone output with its own amplifier and level control enables private mix-checking. Additional controls include:
For truly accurate mixes, the CMC7 maintains precise channel matching across all eight channels throughout the full range of the volume control. Many controllers - particularly passive designs - use multi-ganged potentiometers to control all channels simultaneously, which can lead to significant level differences at extreme volume settings. The CMC7 avoids this issue, ensuring consistent balance at any level.
With a footprint of just 18 x 16 cm and a low-profile chassis, the CMC7 won't dominate your workspace. It's also small enough to fit into a bag for mobile setups.
Smart and stylish, the rugged all-steel enclosure is designed to withstand the rigours of daily studio use. High-quality components ensure reliability for years to come, while a Kensington security slot provides theft protection.
