Drawmer debuted its latest product release, the Drawmer Six-Pack Surround Dynamics Processor, at this year's 111th AES in New York.

The Six-Pack is a 3U, six channel multi-dynamics processor which features comprehensive universal linking technology designed specifically for surround sound application. The unit can be configured so that any combination of channels can be linked to track each other's levels preventing image shift. For example; front left/right and rear left/right can be configured as two stereo pairs with individual channel control over both centre and sub-bass (LFE).

Channel six offers the option of a switchable 120Hz low-pass filter in order that a sub-bass (LFE) channel may be derived from a five channel surround mix. Each channel comprises of a soft knee compressor with switchable Auto or Manual Attack and Release, a variable threshold Limiter and a 'Programme Adaptive' Expander/Gate with a variable Release time of up to five seconds to retain reverberant tails where necessary.

LED's show link status and comprehensive bargraph metering displays all dynamic functions.
