Compact, intuitive, and powerful, the CMC7 Surround Monitor Controller from Drawmer is an 8-channel desktop monitor controller designed to make it easier than ever to monitor up to eight independent channels of audio, including 7.1, 5.1, quadraphonic, DTS, DTS-HD, Dolby Digital EX, THX Surround EX, and much more. Delivering the same ultralow noise and transparent circuit design featured in all of Drawmer's studio monitor controllers, the CMC7 makes mix checking a breeze with dedicated buttons for Mute, Dim, Sub, and a mix down switch for checking your surround mix in 2.1 stereo.
A large volume knob provides a smooth feel and excellent channel matching. All channel I/O is available on simple Tascam-standard DB-25 connectors, making connections a cinch, while a dedicated headphone amp with independent volume control lets you hear your mix directly on your controller. While the CMC7 sports an exceptionally low profile for fitting into any workspace, it's also constructed from durable steel with a Kensington security slot, securing your highly portable monitor controller from bumps, drops, and even thieves.
With the Stereo Mix switch active the surround mix can be bounced down to a 2.1 signal in the front left and right monitors and subwoofer, to test the quality of the recording when in stereo. In addition, it has a professional-quality stereo headphone output with a separate amplifier and level control, that provides private mix checking, a DIM switch reduces output by 20 dB, and a Mute switch is also available to cut the output completely.
