Summit Audio DCL-200 Dual Tube Compressor - Manual (Page 7)

Side Chain:
This connection allows for the insertion of an equalizer in the side chain to make the
DCL-200 a frequency selective compressor-limiter. Program material with large amounts
of low frequency may have the low frequencies attenuated in the side chain, causing the
low frequency content to not affect the gain reduction. High frequency response of the
side chain may be boosted to help prevent high frequency overload; the DCL-200 can
become a “de-esser” in this mode. When stereo linked, the insert point for the top channel
(channel 1) controls both channels 1 and 2.
