Drawmer DL241 Dual-Auto Compressor (1U Rack) – Dual Channel Compressor + Expander/Gate (TRS I/O)
 
Classic “set-and-forget” Drawmer compression for vocals, bass, drums, and mix bus control
The Drawmer DL241 is a studio workhorse known for smooth, musical dynamics control that’s easy to dial in fast. You get two channels of compression plus expander/gate, with “Auto” attack/release for consistent results when tracking or mixing. It’s equally at home tightening vocals and bass, adding punch to drums, or controlling peaks on keys and synths. This unit has 1/4” TRS input/output connections and can be stereo-linked for bus use.
