DrawmerSP2120 Speaker Protector
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Balanced line-level speaker protection for permanent install and studio systems. For anyone responsible for amps and drivers they cannot afford to replace.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fixed installs where a guest DJ drives the system unsupervised
- Studio main monitors fed by separate power amps
- Venues where drivers are expensive or awkward to replace
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bedroom setups with powered monitors and built-in limiting
- Players wanting tone shaping or coloration in the chain
- Anyone under budget pressure protecting inexpensive speakers
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Output level variable from off to +14dBu
Doubles as your system gain trim. You can set amp drive here rather than at the amp panel.
Detail 03
30K ohm input, 100 ohm output impedance
Bridges any line source without loading it, and drives long balanced runs to amp racks without level loss.
Detail 04
Noise at -99dB, unity gain referenced to +4dBu
Sits below the noise floor of the amps it feeds, so it adds no audible hiss to a quiet room.
Detail 05
Common mode rejection above 40dB, 22Hz to 22kHz
Rejects hum picked up on long cable runs between the rack and remote amp locations.
Detail 06
Crosstalk better than 90dB at 20kHz
Channels stay independent at the top end, so stereo imaging and crossover bands do not smear into each other.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Goes between console and power amps, not between amp and speakers
- 02Protection depends on setting thresholds to your actual driver limits
- 03Balanced connections and cabling are not included; plan the rack wiring
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Where does this go in the signal chain?
Line level, after your console or processor and before the power amps. It works on the signal feeding the amps, never on the amplified output going to drivers.
02Does it replace the limiter in my amps?
It gives you protection set independently of the amp, which matters when amps are shared, swapped, or driven by people who do not own the system.
03Will it color the sound?
The noise, crosstalk and common mode figures are built for transparency. Audible change should only happen when it is actually acting to hold the system back.
04Can I use it with a crossover?
Yes. Put it after the crossover so each band is protected against its own driver limits, since a tweeter and a woofer fail at very different levels.
