“SIX-PACK” OPERATORS’ MANUAL 2
INTRODUCTION
The Drawmer SixPack is a six channel Expander/Compressor/Limiter with extensive
linking facilities which allow for the various configurations commonly used in
multi-channel surround processing as well as the more conventional stereo and
single channel operation.
Each channel has a program adaptive expander, with variable threshold and
release times, followed by a soft knee compressor with optional auto attack
and release as well as the normal manual controls. A variable threshold,
zero-overshoot limiter provides total protection against even the fastest
transients and is particularly valuable in live sound applications for driver
protection.
An optional 125Hz filter on channel 6 may be used to create the LFE channel
from a 5-1 mono mix.
Each channel of the SixPack has balanced XLR inputs and outputs, with relay
hard wire bypass, so signals still pass through the unit when the power is off.
Powered by a universal switch mode power supply, the SixPack operates from
mains voltages between 85 - 250v, eliminating the need to make any changes
when touring and allowing the unit to remain fully operational during large
fluctuations in the mains power supply.
INSTALLATION
The “Six-Pack” is designed for standard 19" rack mounting and occupies 3U of rack
space. Avoid mounting the unit directly above power amplifiers or power supplies
that radiate significant amounts of heat. Fibre or plastic washers may be used to
prevent the front panel becoming marked by the mounting bolts.
POWER CONNECTION
The unit will be supplied with a power cable suitable for domestic power outlets in
your country. For your own safety it is important that you use this cable. The unit
should always be connected to the mains supply earth using this cable
