Description
The Summit Audio DCL-200 is a dual channel compressor/limiter with stereo linking capabilities. Based on a hybrid design, the DCL-200 combines the most desirable sonic characteristics of vacuum tubes with the increased reliability of solid state devices. DCL-200 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.
Features:- Continuously variable attack and release times
- Adjustable threshold
- Variable slope (ratio)
- Output gain control
- Soft-knee transition characteristic
- Stereo link switch
- Dual true VU meters
- Side chain insert
- Bypass switch
- Hand crafted in the USA
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. The DCL-200 is an extremely versatile and musical sounding compressor, 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.
| Output | +4 dBu corresponds to 0 VU. The output is electronically balanced or unbalanced using 990 discrete operational amplifiers. Output impedance is 75. The recommended output load is 600. Maximum output level is +25 dBu. |
| Input | Electronically balanced XLR. Input impedance of 40 k |
| Frequency Response | 5 Hz to 70 kHz |
| Noise | 80 dB below operating level, 10 Hz to 80 kHz (unweighted) |
| Distortion | Less than 0.05% at +4 dBu (unweighted) |
| Attack Time | 0.1 mS to 100 mS |
| Release Time | 45 mS to 10 S. Note: Attack and release times vary with the amount of gain reduction and are program dependent. |
| Slope | Adjustable from 1.1:1 to 7.1 |
| Gain Control Device | Proprietary design |
| Panel Size | Standard 19 by 3.5 (2 units of rack space) |
| Depth | 10.5 in addition to user's I/O cabling |
| Power | 40 watts, 115 or 230 volts operation, 50 or 60 Hz |
| Shipping Weight | 20 lbs. (9.07 kg.) |
