Drawmer SP2120
Professional music gear - detailed information and where to buy
The SP2120 is a classic for a reason – it’s a rock-solid limiter perfect for live sound engineers and anyone needing transparent gain control in a PA system. It’s got that Drawmer magic that keeps things sounding smooth and musical, even when pushing levels hard, and the build quality is top-notch. Just be aware it’s a bit of an older design, so don't expect a ton of modern features.

While usable in a studio, its strengths lie in live sound; the 'warm' limiting isn't always ideal for pristine, hyper-detailed mixes.
No, the SP2120 is a straightforward limiter; it lacks the advanced features like sidechaining found in more contemporary processors.
