Posted 2002-06-16
Mackie Designs Inc. (Nasdaq: MKIE), announced today the Drawmer SDX100 Plug-In for the new Mackie Broadcast Professional Soundscape 32 digital audio workstation platform. Currently available through Mackie Broadcast Professional Dealers for MSRP of US $399.00, the SDX100 is an advanced dynamics Plug-In based on the Drawmer ADX100, which is currently in operation for the Mackie Digital 8 Bus recording console.
Like the ADX100, the SDX100 features many well-known Drawmer innovations including Frequency Conscious Noise Gating, Program Adaptive Expansion, "Bootstrap" compression and Zero Overshoot Limiting. It offers the same instinctively laid out control interface and the unparalleled sonic performance that has made Drawmer an industry-standard for dynamic processing. The SDX100 is versatile enough to be used as either a channel dynamics package or a mix down processor, depending on the specific needs of the customer.
The SDX100 consists of the following components, which can be used as a group or individually.
Compressor: Full band program adaptive compressor switchable between normal or "bootstrap" operation with threshold, ratio, switchable knee characteristics, attack and release (switchable between manual and auto modes), and gain makeup controls.
Limiter: Variable threshold limiter with five switchable release times
Expander: Full band expander with threshold, ratio, attack, release and range controls, also featuring a threshold meter.
Gate: Frequency conscious noise gate featuring sweepable HF and LF key filters, key listen switch, L, R, L+R and external triggering options, threshold control with easy set pointer and threshold meter, traffic light status indicators, full envelope control with attack, hold, release and adjustable range.
"Having a respected industry innovator like Drawmer join our growing list of Soundscape Plug-In developers is truly a milestone in our efforts to continue expansion of the Soundscape platform," explained Keith Olsen, Corporate Director, Global Recording Market and Product Development at Mackie Designs Inc. "We are truly committed to expanding the number of available third-party Plug-Ins for Soundscape and are excited to offer the SDX100 to new and existing Soundscape customers worldwide."
