Drawmer DMT-1080 (c. 1981–1984)
Little is documented about the Drawmer DMT-1080 Multi-Tracker, and no original manual has surfaced in the archive. The period record shows an analogue delay-line based effects processor, one of Drawmer's earlier signal-processing products. It was built to make a wide range of stereo effects from a mono input. Studio Sound (September 1981, p.32) reported chorus, flanging, three types of phasing, and ADT (automatic double tracking). It gave a dynamic range of 86 dB and a bandwidth of 16 kHz or 8 kHz, depending on the program material.
The DMT-1080 was sold in the UK through Studio Equipment Services of London, which promoted it as a new and versatile effects processor in Studio Sound (October 1981, p.20). It was still in Drawmer's exhibition lineup as late as July 1984, when Studio Sound (July 1984, p.146) listed it alongside the DS201 noise gate and DL221 compressor/limiter. Beyond those trade-press appearances, confirmed production dates, pricing, and full specifications are not documented. The bracketed years above reflect the unit's presence in the press, not a verified production run.
