  • Page 3 The CMC7 has been designed to simplify the control over you surround speaker setup whilst being pocket friendly, making surround recording feasible to the serious home producer and small studio. The CMC7 is a compact 8 channel / 7.1 / 5.1 surround volume controller and cost-effective alternative to the more complex and feature rich MC7.1.
  • Page 4 Compact The CMC7 packs a lot of features into a small package. With a footprint of just 18x16cm and a very low profile the CMC7 won't hog your desk space like some other controllers do.
  • 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. There is one thing that should always be absolutely guaranteed - that you can rely on the accuracy of your monitor controller.
  • Page 6: Installation

    100-240Vac continuous (90-264Vac max) and so should work globally. We strongly advise that the power supply that has been supplied with the CMC7 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.

    Ground Loops: 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 CMC7 to the patchbay. If such measures are necessary, balanced operation is recommended.

    DRAWMER CONTROL DESCRIPTION The CMC7 allows the volume adjustment of 8 channels, either surround or otherwise, and with relatively few controls, enables you to perform the majority of mix checking tasks in you DAW or mixer, whilst remaining as transparent and precise as any other Drawmer monitor controllers.
  • Page 9 It is recommended that you turn the volume control down to a lower level before turning the CMC7 off - this is to ensure that a sudden volume increase when turning on does not damage your speakers or your hearing.
  • Page 10 DRAWMER SURROUND INPUTS The eight balanced inputs to the CMC7 are via a 25 pin D-Sub connector wired to the Tascam standard (Refer to ‘Audio Connections’ for wiring information). The CMC7 does not have input level trims, and their is only one volume control that effects all eight channels in exactly the same way regardless of the source origin, be it surround 7.1, 5.1 or 8 independent sources, meaning any individual channel...
  • Page 11: Mix Checking Tips

    Note that on the CMC7 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.
