Drawmer was founded in 1981 and is based in Yorkshire, England. You may not realize it but you have been listening to Drawmer products for the last 30+ years, almost every time you turn on the radio, watch television or go to a gig. Since the introduction of the DS201 noise gate in 1982 Drawmer products have consistently remained the unequivocal choice of producers, engineers and artist's, and, as such, have been installed in almost every major recording studio, live venue and broadcast facility throughout the world. Drawmer products are the engineer's indispensable tools that elevates good sound into truly stunning!

In 1982 Drawmer revolutionized gating by introducing the DS201 Dual Noise Gate, the world's first 'frequency conscious' noise gate. The DS201's unique High-Pass and Low-Pass key filters, comprehensive envelope control and ultra-fast attack time has since made it the 'industry standard' gate throughout the world. The 201 transformed the gate to a powerful creative tool playing a significant role in modern music production. "It was the kind of unit that people discovered uses for and it immediately enabled engineers to do the things they'd always dreamed of with minimum fuss," says Drawmer. Very little has changed to the design of the DS201 over the years, and Ivor Drawmer claims it sells as well now as it did back in the early 1980s. "It's astounding where they all go, but to date we've sold tens of thousands of units," he says.

In addition to Noise Gates, Drawmer manufactures precision Microphone Preamps, Tube Compressors/Limiters, Equalizers and Digital Management Systems. Markertek is an authorized dealer for the Drawmer line. If you don't see what you're looking for, contact us and we'll do our best to get it for you.
