Inspired by the iconic sonic clarity of 1970s-era gear, this two-channel EQ is meticulously designed to provide nuanced tonal shaping and vibrant character. Featuring fully variable low and high cut filters, switchable slopes, and completely adjustable mid-band bandwidth controls, the 1971 is engineered to handle everything from fine-tuning mixes to sculpting problematic recordings. Its unique Crush feature adds harmonic richness and dynamic warmth, making it a standout in both mastering and tracking applications. Built with rugged steel chassis and precision-stepped potentiometers, the Drawmer 1971 ensures reliability and effortless recall during every session.</p> <h3>Fully Parametric EQ For Precision Control</h3> <p>The 1971 is a true parametric equalizer, offering four fully variable bands with +/-12dB cut and boost functionality. Unlike models with fixed bandwidth or limited adjustments, this EQ features completely adjustable mid-band filter controls that allow users to focus on narrow sections of the audio spectrum or apply broad, natural-sounding filters. This flexibility makes it ideal for both subtle tonal enhancement and aggressive problem-solving. Whether fine-tuning a mix or isolating specific frequencies, the 1971 delivers unparalleled control and accuracy, ensuring every recording reaches its full sonic potential.</p> <h3>Variable Low And High Cut Filters For Pinpoint Accuracy</h3> <p>The low and high cut filters on this model are fully adjustable, ranging from 10Hz to 225Hz on the low end and 4kHz to 32kHz on the high end. Unlike fixed-frequency filters, these controls offer the flexibility to sweep through a range of settings, making it easy to remove unwanted noise or bracketing individual tracks with precision. The variable design ensures pinpoint accuracy, allowing recording engineers to clean up audio without compromising the integrity of the original signal. This functionality is particularly useful for enhancing clarity and focus in complex mixes.</p> <h3>Switchable Slope And Peak Settings For Tonal Depth</h3> <p>Another standout feature of the 1971 is its switchable slope settings, which provide adjustable focus on the low and high bands. At the low end, users can select slopes of 6, 9, or 12dB per octave, plus a peak setting that adds a bell-shaped boost to magnify the bottom end. This is especially effective for kick drums and bass tracks, delivering added power and precision without muddying the mix. At the high end, the 6 and 12dB per octave settings allow users to shape the top frequencies with musicality and subtlety. These slope controls bring a tailored, professional finish to any recording.</p> <h3>Crush Feature For Dynamic Warmth</h3> <p>Unique to the Drawmer 1971, the Crush feature introduces auto gain makeup compression combined with musically rich harmonic enhancement. This feature is available on each band, adding weight and presence to lower frequencies, warmth to the midrange, and shimmer to the highs. It works progressively, becoming more pronounced as boost is applied, making it versatile for instruments like drums, bass, vocals, and guitars. Whether thickening rhythm sections or brightening cymbals, the Crush option provides dynamic tonal warmth that enhances the character of any track.</p> <h3>Built For Professionals Seeking Analog Excellence</h3> <p>The Drawmer 1971 dual 4-band parametric equalizer combines vintage-inspired sound quality with modern functionality, making it essential for recording engineers and mastering professionals. Its rugged steel chassis ensures reliability in demanding studio environments, while features like precision-stepped potentiometers and a true hardware bypass deliver consistent, high-quality results. For those seeking analog warmth and control, the 1971 is an indispensable tool that elevates every mix.</p>", "value":"1,799.00", "priceMin":"1,799.00", "priceMax":"1,799.00", "priceSavingsMaxPrice":"0.00", "priceSavingsMaxPercent":"0", "inventory":"0", "brand":"Drawmer", "reviewStarImageUrl": "https://static.musiciansfriend.com/img/brand/mf/cmn/Sprit-Sm-Stars.png", "reviewStarRating":"0.0", "reviewStarRatingInteger":"0", "reviewHowManyReviews":"0", "usedOrNew":"new", "discontinued":"0", "onOrder":"0", "clearance":"0", "canBeSold":"1", "accessoryCategories":"", "stickerText": ""}
