Drawmer DL241 2 Channel 1U Gate/Auto-Manual

The DL241 is the best sounding 2 channel compressor you can buy for under $2K. Ideally suited to studio or live sound, the DL241 offers stereo or dual mono operation, auto or manual compression, a pair of professional expander gates and a pair of "zero overshoot" brickwall limiters. Chosen for the Bruce Springsteen tour after extensive testing, the DL241 is available in two forms: XLR connectors (DL241XLR) or balanced 1/4 inch connectors (DL241). Both can be operated in +4 or -10 mode. Its sophisticated design produces a very smooth highly transparent sound, and its controls are easy to use for beginners and advanced professionals alike.
