The Drawmer MC7.1 is a dedicated 7.1/5.1 surround and stereo monitor controller, designed to provide all the mix-checking features required for surround production without compromising stereo monitoring. It delivers the same pristine, transparent sound and rugged desktop wedge form factor as the popular MC3.1, making it a versatile centrepiece for professional studios.

As surround sound continues to grow across film, television, streaming, gaming and even mobile devices, engineers and artists need tools that can keep pace. With the MC7.1, you can mix in 7.1, 5.1, quadraphonic, DTS®, Dolby Digital EX, THX Surround EX™, DTS-HD™ and more - all while maintaining Drawmer's renowned accuracy and transparency.

Unlike many surround controllers that neglect stereo, the MC7.1 excels in both domains. Every studio, from film audio post-production to smaller project rooms, needs to switch seamlessly between stereo and surround. In addition to its full surround capabilities, the MC7.1 offers the same comprehensive stereo mix-check functions found on the MC3.1 - and these can be applied not only to stereo inputs but also to any surround channel routed to stereo.

A secondary preset volume control on the front panel provides a repeatable, calibrated output level for your monitors. At the flick of a switch, you can instantly return to the same predetermined listening level - no need to constantly fine-tune.

The MC7.1 is built for maximum flexibility. It features:

• Two sets of balanced 7.1 inputs
• A 7.1 thru connection
• One balanced stereo input
• A front-panel AUX input

The MC7.1 includes powerful tools to take control of your mixes. The mix-down function routes surround signals to either the front L/R or the stereo mains, with a flexible cut/solo matrix that lets you isolate or combine any channel. Want to hear just the rear surrounds? Mix them down to the stereo mains and solo them. Need to focus on the centre or LFE channels? Instantly route them for a central mono check.

Additional features include:

• Switchable mono/sub output with level matching
• Low/mid/high band solo for frequency-specific monitoring
• Internal talkback mic with footswitch control
• External talkback mic input

Smart and stylish yet rugged, the steel enclosure is built to withstand the demands of daily studio life. Combined with high-quality components throughout, the MC7.1 is engineered to deliver years of reliable performance.
