The Drawmer SL22: Protection and Compliance:
The Drawmer SL22 is a noise level limiter designed to protect both listeners and audio equipment. It helps meet occupational noise regulations by controlling user exposure to sound. In addition, it protects speakers and amplifiers from damage caused by sound peaks.

Thanks to precise calibration, the SL22 helps public institutions comply with local noise standards. Its robust design, based on Drawmer experience, guarantees optimal performance without compromising sound quality.

The SL22 offers advanced features such as output level control, tamper protection, and an alert and protection monitoring system. It helps reduce maintenance costs, audio system downtime, and reputational risks.

In short, the Drawmer SL22 is a complete solution to ensure hearing safety, protect equipment and comply with regulations, while preserving sound quality.

The SL22 offers an intuitive user interface via its LED indicators and external connections.

Visualization:
- Signal: Indicates the presence of an unlimited audio signal.
- Alert: Indicates a level close to the limiting threshold, allowing anticipation.
- Protection: Confirms the activation of the limitation.

- External Control:
- Dim/Mute: Allows rapid and significant attenuation of the signal to meet specific requirements (for example, in the event of a fire alarm).
- External Indicator Outputs: Facilitates integration into larger systems, allowing remote visualization or data logging for precise monitoring of the limiter's operation. These outputs can be connected to external devices (LEDs, control systems) for enhanced monitoring and regulatory compliance.
