Drawmer
British company best known for their compressors and frequency conscious noise gates, but in actuality they make quite a number of signal processors and other utility products intended primarily for the recording industry. The company has also recently introduced a DAC/pre-amp hybrid that is described as a frontend for a studio monitoring system but is actually a typical hi-fi preamp and has seen some interest and sales in that market sector. The company actually used to be split into two with this company being owned by Ivor Drawmer and performed the manufacturing and design part of the operation while Drawmer Distribution handled sales & distribution, and co. was run by Ken Giles but when he decided to retire in 2012 the distribution part of the operation was bought by Drawmer and is now handled in-house.
