Drawmer

Drawmer, established in 1981 by Ivor Drawmer in the UK, is a leading name in professional audio equipment. The company gained early recognition with the DS201 dual noise gate, a favourite for live sound engineers, and the DL241 compressor, widely regarded as a classic. While their core focus remains on compressors and noise gates, Drawmer has expanded its product range to include equalizers, microphone preamps, and digital mastering tools. Known for innovation and reliability, Drawmer’s gear is trusted in studios, live sound venues, and broadcast facilities worldwide, maintaining its reputation as a top-tier audio brand.
