6: Reconnect to mains power source. INSTALLATION The 1961 is designed for standard 19" rack mounting and occupies 2U of rack space. Fibre or plastic washers may be used to prevent the front panel becoming marked by the mounting bolts. Because the tube circuitry generates more heat than an equivalent solid-state design, we recommend space be left above the unit to allow the heat to dissipate. -

This is a stereo jack socket wired such that the Ring carries the input to the 1961 and the Tip carries the output. W hen a plug is inserted, the XLR input for that channel is disconnected. The Audio Insert point may be connected directly to the side-chain access point of a Drawmer 1960 using a stereo jack cable wired with screened cable where the tip connects to the tip;... -
Page 6: Introduction
A simple linking facility is included which allows the 1961 to be used in conjunction with the Drawmer 1960 tube compressor/preamplifier where it may be used either in the side-chain ( for de-essing, de-popping and so forth ) or in the main signal path for conventional equalisation. -

1961 OPERATORS’ MANUAL APPLICATIONS Further to its obvious applications as a general studio equaliser, the 1961 is also particularly effective as a post-production or mastering tool when used to treat complete stereo mixes, especially when used in conjunction with the 1960 tube compressor. - Page 8 1961 OPERATORS’ MANUAL Frequency selector switch.

The 1961 may also be linked directly to the Side-Chain access connector (or to the Audio Insert points) of a Drawmer 1960 tube compressor via the stereo Audio insert jacks on the 1961 rear panel. This requires only a standard (tip-wired-to-tip and ring-wired-to-ring) screened stereo jack lead. - Page 10 Note that a small amount of deliberately added tube distortion can produce the flattering effect associated with vintage tube equipment. The major feature when using the 1961 is that you can control the amount of enhancement using the Input level control, rather than having to accept what the...
- Page 11 The High and Low-Pass filters are also useful in removing hum and noise from the sound. Driving the output stage of the 1961 so as to generate a little audible distortion can also help flatter most electric guitar sounds, especially those generated using a solid-state preamp.
