Summit Audio DCL-200

The hybrid tube/solid state DCL-200 dual channel compressor/limiter is a mainstay of both the live sound and studio environments and has helped shape the sound of countless concerts and albums.

Versatile and extremely musical sounding, the DCL-200 uses a soft-knee and program dependent transition characteristic, dual true VU meters, and totally variable controls to deliver the unprecedented sound quality of Summit Audio that is far from sterile without being muddy or pinched.
