The Drawmer DA6 is a balanced distribution amplifier designed for distributing mono and stereo audio signals from a single source to multiple destinations with high quality and reliability. It features six stereo channels (or twelve mono channels), making it ideal for a wide range of applications, including multi-zone sound reinforcement, live sports events coverage, broadcast studios, video suites, and audio duplication facilities. Whether for professional broadcast or live audio, the DA6 ensures pristine audio quality even over long cable runs.
The Drawmer DA6 includes six stereo (or twelve mono) distribution channels, with XLR balanced inputs and outputs for professional connectivity. Optional transformer balancing is available for setups where remote amplifiers and recorders are fed from separate power supplies, ensuring superior isolation and stability. Each stereo input features individual left and right level controls with LED bargraph metering, allowing precise balancing of stereo material or two mono signals.
Each of the six output channels incorporates left and right level controls and a Mono/Stereo switch, allowing users to configure the DA6 for either six stereo outputs or twelve mono outputs. This versatility means that the DA6 can function as a 1 x stereo input to 6 x stereo output amplifier, a 1 x mono input to 12 x mono output unit, or any combination thereof. The output section includes a channel selector that allows monitoring of the individual output levels via the front panel LED bargraph display and a headphone monitoring jack for accurate setup and adjustments.
The Drawmer DA6 also features a pair of auxiliary link stereo jack sockets (TRS) on the rear panel, allowing it to be connected to additional DA6 units for even greater distribution capacity. This expandability makes the DA6 suitable for a wide range of audio applications that require multiple signal outputs and reliable performance.
