CMC2
Compact Monitor Controller
The Drawmer CMC2 is a compact yet exceptionally powerful monitor controller designed for engineers who demand absolute accuracy at every stage of the production process. Built on the same trusted, transparent circuitry found in Drawmer’s flagship MC2.1 and MC3.1 units, it delivers pristine, uncoloured audio that reveals the true character of your mix. Every decision you make—balance, EQ, dynamics, imaging—rests on a monitoring chain you can trust, and the CMC2 provides that foundation with confidence and precision.
Thoughtfully streamlined for smaller studios, mobile rigs, and creators who want professional performance without excess features, the CMC2 offers flexible connectivity, essential mix-check tools, and meticulous build quality in a compact footprint that fits any workspace. Rugged, reliable, and engineered for long-term performance, it brings Drawmer’s renowned accuracy and craftsmanship to any setup—ensuring what you hear is exactly what you’ve created.
Compact, Accurate & Transparent
The CMC2 packs the same pristine audio quality, transparency, and accuracy as Drawmer’s MC2.1 and MC3.1 into a compact controller designed for smaller studios. You get the essentials—nothing unnecessary, nothing missing.
Where many monitor controllers colour the sound, Drawmer preserves it. Its active circuitry maintains the integrity of your source and avoids the signal loss common in passive designs, ensuring your monitoring is always trustworthy.
Precision-engineered circuitry, high-quality switches, and custom quad-potentiometers deliver excellent channel matching and a smooth, confident feel.
Multiple Connections
The CMC2 offers flexible routing with two balanced stereo inputs plus a 3.5mm input for smartphones or media players, complete with its own level trim. It supports two sets of stereo monitors and a subwoofer, each with independent switching for fast, reliable A/B comparisons.
A professional headphone output—powered by a dedicated high-grade amplifier with its own level control—ensures the same clarity and accuracy whether you’re monitoring on speakers or cans.
Essential mix-check tools such as mono, phase reverse, dim, and mute help you evaluate your mixes with confidence.
Compact & Portable
Measuring just 18 × 16 cm, the CMC2 delivers impressive functionality without taking over your desk. Its low-profile design also makes it easy to pack for mobile or remote recording sessions.
Tough & Secure
Built from rugged, all-steel construction and premium components, the CMC2 is designed for years of dependable use. A Kensington security slot provides extra protection against theft in shared or commercial spaces.
“It really is that good – and it did all I needed it to do: I could hear everything I expected and needed to hear, and it performed flawlessly.”
