    The CMC2 has 2 Stereo Inputs on ¼” balanced jacks, plus a 3.5mm jack Aux input with variable level control. It supports 2 sets of monitors plus a sub-woofer, as well as headphones, which have a separate level control.
  • Page 5 Can you trust the audio that your current monitor controller is providing? Is it colouring the sound? For all Drawmer monitor controllers it is imperative that what you record is exactly what you hear. The active circuit has been designed to faithfully produce the audio signal whilst removing many of the problems that a passive circuit will bring.

  • Page 6: Installation

    DRAWMER INSTALLATION The CMC2 is a free standing, desktop unit. We have endeavoured to make the CMC2 as small as possible without compromising on controls, connections and above all sound quality. The unit has a footprint of just 18cm x 16cm with controls on the top, headphone and mp3/phone input on the front and all other connections on the rear panel.

  • Page 7: Power Connection

    100-240Vac continuous (90-264Vac max) and so should work globally. We strongly advise that the power supply that has been supplied with the CMC2 is used, rather than one with the equivalent ratings. In addition, should the power supply fail for any reason we strongly advise that you contact Drawmer for a replacement rather than repairing the unit yourselves.

  • Page 8: Audio Connection

    If ground loop problems are encountered, never disconnect the mains earth, but instead, try disconnecting the signal screen on one end of each of the cables connecting the outputs of the CMC2 to the patchbay. If such measures are necessary, balanced operation is recommended.

  • Page 11 It is recommended that you turn the volume control down to a lower level before turning the CMC2 off - this is to ensure that a sudden volume increase when turning on does not damage your speakers or your hearing In addition, do not use excessive force at either end of the volume knob - it’s...
  • Page 12 DRAWMER HEADPHONE The CMC2 has a dedicated headphone output, via 1/4” TRS jack on the front face (5b), with individual headphone amplifier and level control (5a) on the front face - Note that the level control is not affected by the main large monitor volume knob (3), and have no bearing on volume of the rear panel outputs (7).

  • Page 13: Mix Checking Tips

    Note that on the CMC2 it is better to lower the volume level using the DIM switch and then turn the volume up, rather than only turning the volume down, as you maintain greater control over the volume as well as better left/right channel matching.
  • Page 14 Listen to the ‘Stereo difference’ or side signal A very useful facility of the CMC2 is the ability to listen to the ‘stereo difference’ or side signal, very quickly and easily. The side signal is the difference between the two channels, and describes those elements that contribute to the stereo width.
