Drawmer has announced the launch of a new product range, incorporating the Tube Station 1 stereo mic pre/tube compressor (TS1) and the Tube Station 2 Dual Tube Compressor (TS2). The TS1 offers a wide dynamic range Class A mic/instrument pre-amp with high-pass filter and HF contour control followed by a stereo soft-knee compressor with independent variable ‘Tube Drive’ control. An optional digital output module (DC1) with SPDIF, Word Clock and AES/EBU connections enables high quality 24 bit/96K digital conversion. The TS2 is a dual mono or stereo linkable soft knee compressor with each channel equipped with a variable ‘Tube Drive’ control which can be switched out of the signal path for instant A/B comparison. An optional digital output module (DC1) with SPDIF, Word Clock and AES/EBU connections enables high quality 24 bit/96K digital conversion.

Marketing director Luke Giles comments: "The Tube Station range is a clear sign of Drawmer’s further advance into the digital market which began with the success of our Masterflow products and now sees us providing software plug-ins for the Mackie, Digidesign and Soundscape platforms. Until now Drawmer’s tube processing has been evident only in the well established 1960’s range, however, the TS1 and TS2’s digital option and new price level brings the recognised Drawmer tube sound to a much larger audience."
