The Drawmer DA6 is a versatile six-channel stereo (or twelve-channel mono) distribution amplifier designed for clean, reliable signal delivery across complex audio systems. It’s ideal for applications such as multi-zone sound reinforcement, broadcast studios, live sports coverage, video suites, duplication, and any environment where high-quality audio needs to be sent to multiple destinations over long cable runs.
The DA6 features XLR balanced inputs and outputs, with optional transformer balancing for installations where remote amplifiers and recorders are powered separately. Each stereo input includes independent left and right level controls with LED bargraph metering for precise gain matching of stereo or dual mono sources.
Every one of the six output channels also includes individual left/right level controls and a Mono/Stereo switch, enabling flexible configuration as 1 stereo input to 6 stereo outputs, 1 mono input to 12 mono outputs, or any combination of the two.
The output section includes a channel select control, allowing the left and right output levels of any channel to be displayed on the output LED bargraph and monitored via the headphone output. A pair of rear-panel TRS link sockets allow multiple DA6 units to be chained together, expanding the system for even wider distribution requirements.
