The CMC7 is a compact 8-channel (7.1 / 5.1) surround volume controller - a cost-effective alternative to the more complex, feature-rich MC7.1. Designed to remain affordable and portable, it strips away functions already handled within your workstation, focusing instead on essential controls, intuitive operation and a pristine signal path. The result is transparent, accurate audio across every channel.
While many monitor controllers can colour your sound, every Drawmer controller is engineered for absolute neutrality. The CMC7's active circuit reproduces the signal with total precision, avoiding the compromises of passive designs to guarantee accuracy and transparency.
Connectivity comes via two balanced 25-pin D-sub connectors, wired to the Tascam standard for straightforward integration. The CMC7 supports eight discrete channels and works seamlessly with popular surround formats including:
A stereo mix switch sums the surround mix to a 2.1 signal through the front left/right monitors and subwoofer - ideal for checking stereo compatibility.
A high-quality stereo headphone output with its own amplifier and level control enables detailed private mix-checking. Additional front-panel controls include:
For truly accurate monitoring, the CMC7 maintains precise channel matching across all eight channels throughout the full range of its volume control. Many passive designs rely on multi-ganged potentiometers that can introduce level differences at extreme settings. The CMC7 avoids this, ensuring consistent balance at any level.
With a footprint of just 18 x 16 cm and a low-profile steel chassis, the CMC7 is built to fit neatly into any workspace or travel setup without compromise.
Smart, rugged and reliable, the CMC7 is housed in a tough all-steel enclosure designed to handle years of studio use. High-grade components ensure long-term performance, while a Kensington security slot provides extra peace of mind.
