Summit Audio DCL-200 Dual Compressor Limiter
This is a dual channel compressor/limiter with stereo linking capabilities. Based on a hybrid design, it combines the most desirable sonic characteristics of vacuum tubes with the increased reliability of solid state devices. Its circuitry incorporates selected 12AX7A vacuum tubes with high reliability 990 op-amps in a transformerless signal path, giving you an incredibly clean, precise sound with the overtones and warmth of tube technology.
A mainstay of both the live sound and studio environments, the DCL-200 has helped shape the sound of countless concerts and albums with its crisp yet smooth high frequency response and the sweet low-mid and low tones you get from vacuum tubes. Extremely versatile and musical sounding, it is a go-to piece for tracking, mixing, even mastering. The compression curve and soft knee makes the DCL-200 enhance your audio in a way that is far from sterile without being muddy or pinched.
