Drawmer SP2120

As its name suggests, the 1U processor eliminates the possibility of 'unauthorised' excessive sound pressure levels on speaker systems which could result in damage to both chassis drivers and electronics.

The unit also gives venues the opportunity to comply with the local legislation regarding noise levels. The SP2120 front panel features an integral security lock to ensure that adjustments to maximum volume levels are implemented by key holders only.

In 'unlocked' mode two front panel pre-sets are available for adjustment by the installer. The first calibrates the 16 segment Left/Right bargraphs and the second sets the absolute volume level to which the system is allowed to perform. If the SP2120 receives increased signal levels, a transparent 'protection' circuitry is activated which maintains the specified volume level without degradation in sound quality.

Ken Giles, Drawmer Sales Director, commented, "When contractors install house sound systems for multi-user and multi-purpose applications they often become high maintenance projects. An SP2120 installed in the signal path immediately prior to the amplifier stage should assist the contractor to sleep more soundly - knowing only he and the venue manager have a key."
