Drawmer MQ-1 - Vintage E.Q. with CRUSH

Bring the Soul of Motown into Your Modern Studio

The Drawmer MQ-1 is an ode to the golden era of music production, specifically inspired by the legendary Motown EQ of the 1960s. This single-channel, 7-band equalizer is your key to sculpting sounds with the warmth and character of yesteryears.

Key Features:

  • Proportional Q 7-Band Equaliser: Each band offers a ±10dB cut or boost, with frequencies chosen to mimic the musical tone of Detroit's historic studios. The proportional-Q design adjusts the bandwidth dynamically with the gain, ensuring natural and musical EQ adjustments.
  • Integrated CRUSH Feature: Inspired by the Drawmer 1971, this circuit adds harmonic saturation and that sought-after analogue warmth, enriching your sound with a depth that digital can't replicate. Drive the EQ harder for more CRUSH effect, enhancing bass, mid-presence, and high-end sparkle.
  • Compact 500 Series Design: Efficiently fits into a single 500 series slot, making it ideal for both studio and live applications where space is at a premium.
  • Analogue Purity: 100% analogue signal path ensures your audio retains its integrity, with a hard-wired bypass to maintain signal quality when not in use.
  • Low Noise: Engineered for minimal noise, keeping your audio clean and clear.

Unleash Your Creativity:

  • Sound Shaping: Whether you're aiming to recreate classic tracks or add unique character to modern productions, the MQ-1's EQ bands allow you to fine-tune with precision.
  • CRUSH for Character: The CRUSH feature is your tool for adding soul to any signal, from vocals to instruments, giving them that vintage vibe with modern control.

Built to Last:

  • UK Craftsmanship: The MQ-1 is proudly designed and manufactured in the UK by Drawmer, ensuring top-notch build quality and reliability.
  • Adaptable: Suitable for a wide range of applications, from recording to live sound, offering versatility in any audio environment.

Why Choose the MQ-1?

  • Historical Inspiration: Capture the essence of Motown's legendary sound with an EQ that's both historically accurate and modernly versatile.
  • Ease of Use: The intuitive design means you can quickly shape your sound without diving deep into technical adjustments.
  • Character Enhancement: The CRUSH feature is not just an effect; it's an integral part of the sound-shaping process, adding depth and color where needed.
