Optical Compressor

The OC1 brings fully featured optical compression to the Drawmer 500 series range. With a complete control set and advanced shaping tools, it delivers the precision, flexibility, and character you'd expect from a full Drawmer rack-mount unit in a single 500 series slot.

Its optical design offers smooth and natural soft-knee feedback compression with a gentle, programme-dependent response that enhances sources without sounding obvious or over-processed. The result is warm, transparent dynamic control that preserves musicality while adding subtle cohesion and polish.

The OC1 excels on vocals, acoustic instruments, bass, and mix buses where transparency, warmth, and consistency are key.
