SUMMIT AUDIO DCL-200 Rackmount Dual Tube Compressor / Limiter Processor

 DCL-200  SUMMIT AUDIO 

 Dual Tube Compressor / Limiter Processor 

The industry standard compressor/limiter for stage and studio, the Summit Audio DCL-200 provides a smooth, musical compression that is the go-to for engineers and board-ops everywhere!

It's everywhere!
A mainstay of both the live sound and studio environments, the DCL-200 has helped shape the sound of countless concerts and albums for decades, as well as holding down the fort in many of the best dance clubs around the world.

Dual hybrid design
The Summit Audio DCL-200 is a dual channel hybrid design compressor/limiter that incorporates hand selected vacuum tubes with high reliability 990 op-amps in a transformerless signal path, giving you an incredibly clean, precise sound with the subtle overtones and warmth of tube technology.

Studio and stage
The DCL-200 uses a soft-knee and program dependent transition characteristic that is extremely versatile and musical sounding, making it a go-to piece for tracking, mixing, and even mastering. Because of the program dependent nature of the DCL’s compressor, a higher slope will result in more compression but the circuit constantly adjusts itself to the incoming signal, making it easy to set and forget.

Hand-crafted in the USA
