The CMC2 is a compact monitor controller that has been designed to provide the same top quality audio, transparency and accuracy of Drawmer's other monitor controllers
Such as the MC2.1 and MC3.1, whilst retaining all the necessary features that the smaller project studio would require without the cost of the advanced features that would seldomly be used.
Can you trust the audio that your current monitor controller is providing Is it colouring the sound
For all Drawmer monitor controllers it is imperative that what you record is exactly what you hear. The active circuit has been designed to faithfully produce the audio signal whilst removing many of the problems that a passive circuit will bring. There is one thing that should always be absolutely guaranteed - that you can rely on the accuracy of your monitor controller.
Accurate & Transparent
With the same Drawmer pedigree as the MC2.1, the CMC2 circuit is just as transparent and accurate. It's switches and paralleled custom-quad knobs have excellent channel matching, a smooth feel.
You hear exactly what you've recorded!
Multiple Connections
The CMC2 is very well connected: with 2 Stereo balanced jack inputs, plus a 3.5mm jack for your Smartphone/MP3 Player, with variable level control. It supports 2 sets of stereo monitors plus a sub-woofer, each with individual switches so you can activate them in any order, especially useful for A/B comparisons.
In addition, it has a professional quality headphone output with a separate amplifier and level control, that provide the same audio quality and mix checking as the CMC2 does through the speakers.
Key Mix check features such as Phase Reverse, Mono, Dim & Mute are also included, to enable you to examine the quality of your recordings with ease.
Compact
The CMC2 packs a lot of features into a small package. With a footprint of just 18x16cm and a very low profile the CMC2 won't hog your desk space like some other controllers do. And if your on the move it's small enough to pop into a bag to take anywhere.
Tough & Secure
Whilst being smart and stylish the rugged, all steel enclosure will withstand the knocks and bumps of the studio, and, coupled with the high quality components used, the CMC2 is built to last. In addition, a Kensington security slot provides protection from thieves

Excellent contrôleur pour le prix
La configuration est tout dont j'avais besoin, une interface analogue uniquement.
La sortie casque est plutôt surprenante étant supérieure à mon iFi Zen Can.
Il en va de même pour alimenter un Bryston 2b pour mes moniteurs, et un sub actif.
Sonorité très transparente.
Le boitier est solide,
Read moreles pots sont "smooth" et précis, et les autres fonctionnalités de base vont de soi pour ce type d'utilitaire.
Mon seul bémol sont les boutons poussoirs en plastique plutôt "cheap", et d'entrée de jeu j'en ai eu un de fendillé qui a fini par se briser.
Un p'tit bout de ruban collant a fait l'affaire et tout va pour le mieux.

Worth the Expense
I am beginning setting up a home mixing/production studio, and I got a Mackie Big Knob monitor controller first, because... *cheap*. But it was nothing but trouble. This thing is so much more solid, better features, and most essentially - it works clearly!

Fantastic monitor controller
This is exactly what my studio needed, a compact slim monitor controller with everything a pro studio needs!
Even has a min jack in for phone which I connected to bluetooth device so clients can play audio from their phones.
Sound quality is great for the price,
Read moreof course XLR connection would be best but increase the cost and size.
Looks professional and seems quite durable with no problems after over a year in use.

It's what I expect it to be.
I haven't used a lot of monitor controllers, but I find this one to be very practical in most ways.
1. The inputs and outputs are very reasonable. 2 in 2 out. There's an aux in via 1/8" but I've never used it. Always run those through the console for routing reasons.
Read more I don't have a sub, but I use the sub out for the mono monitor, which is handy.
2. The big knob is smooth. The gain is really ice and consistent, not finicky at all. That goes for the little knobs, too. The headphone amp has lots of very clean gain, cleaner than the console, which has a little tilt to it.
There are some complaints I have about it...
Buttons are buttons. They wear. They aren't always perfect. 2 years of daily use.
The headphone amp doesn't have a mute. Often I will forget to turn down the headphones and have this odd upper mid shift listening to the mains at low levels... which always turns out to be the headphones. I would prefer a mute so the headphone gain can be left as the ideal setting, rather than turn it up and turn it down...
The inputs/outputs are all 1/4", which I can't argue with because the unit is very thin. However, within the first year, they jacks were already starting to get finicky, needing to be wiggled to get them to connect right.
OH! Last positive. The unit has an anti pop power setting. You can turn it on or off accidentally, and it mutes the outputs to the monitors before it shuts down... and the same in reverse as you power it up. Very appreciative of that.

Drawmer CMC2
This is a great unit! Transparent, clean, excellent stereo matching at all volume levels. The feature set is comprehensive - mono, dim, phase reverse, side monitoring - and has changed the way I monitor my mixing. Great connectivity for both source and monitor selecting and built-in headphone amp.
Read moreMy only beef is that the unit is flat - a tilt would help see the legending on my desktop.
