DRAWMER

CONTROL DESCRIPTION

The DS101 noise gate incorporates many

impressive features, many pioneered by

Drawmer, which are invaluable to the sound

engineer and not found on conventional noise

gates:

• Variable high-pass and low-pass filters for

‘frequency conscious’ gating, with ‘Key listen’

facility.

• Comprehensive envelope control, attack, hold,

decay and range.

• Ultra-fast response time.

• ‘Traffic light’ display giving clear indication of

gate status as well as Threshold Metering.

• Key input for external triggering.

• Linking. Each DS101 can be linked to another

whilst still retaining independent envelopes.

• Can be used for "Gating" or "Ducking".

• High audio specification.

These features are based on the industry

standard, DS201 Noise Gate manufactured by

Drawmer since 1981.

The Gate Controls

Threshold Infinite to -62.0dB

Sets the level below which gating starts to take

place. For normal noise removal applications,

it is usual to set the Threshold as low as is

possible without spurious triggering occurring,

so that none of the desired signal is lost. The

meter above clearly shows the threshold level

in response to the actual signal.

Attack 10uS to 1S

Controls the speed that the gate opens. The

fastest Attack time ensures that the gate does

not clip the leading edge of extremely fast

signals.

Hold 2mS to 2 Seconds

Determines the amount of time the gate is held

open after the signal falls below the Threshold.

This helps to prevent spurious re-triggering

when using fast Release times, but is also

instrumental in creating the classic gated reverb

sound which is often applied to drums.
