| DCL-200 Compressor Limiter
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.
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.

Basic Operation Instructions
Tracking, live sound, mixing: For tracking, plug the output of the microphone preamp into the input of the DCL-200 or use the insert jack on the preamp. For more of the DCL-200 sound, turn down the output on the preamp and use more of the make-up gain on the DCL-200. When mixing with the DCL-200 in the studio or for live sound, insert the DCL-200 on the main inserts or after the master output, or use on the inserts on individual channels for compressing single instruments.
Compressing a stereo mix: Plug the DCL-200 into the main inserts of your mixing console or from the master outputs. Set the DCL-200 into Link mode to run in stereo. The AC Threshold, Slope, Attack, and Release controls on channel one (the top channel) will operate both channels. The bypass switches, meter switches, and the gain controls will need to be set for each side.
De-essing or other frequency-dependent compressing: Plug a TRS insert cable into the side chain jack on the back of the DCL-200. Plug the send (tip) of the insert cable to the input of an EQ, and the return (ring) of the cable to the EQ output. Boost the frequencies on the EQ that you want to compress (de-ess).
Ducking: Send the output of the "lead" program material into the side chain input after inserting the DCL-200 on the "background" program material.
Example: Send a secondary output of a vocal mic into the side chain, with the DCL-200 inserted on the over-all music track. As the singer uses the vocal mic, the music will decrease in amplitude. This is perfect for broadcast use when the DJ needs to speak over music, or a lead guitar plays a solo over the rhythm track in mixing.
