Allow the DCL-200 to warm up for at least 15 minutes before using it
in your processing chain. The tubes and other circuitry need time to reach an
electronic equilibrium before they will operate at optimal specifications. For
the longest life, it is recommended that you turn off the unit when it is not in
use.
Please mount the unit in your rack, making sure that there is sufficient
ventilation, especially on the right and left side of the chassis. The DCL-200
will generate a significant amount of heat; therefore, it is necessary to have
good air flow to prevent damage to your DCL-200 or any other pieces of
gear housed in the rack with it.
The tubes in your Summit Audio DCL-200 have been intensely
screened for desired distortion and gain characteristics. We recommend that
you do not replace the tubes with “guitar amp” tubes. Please consult your
dealer about availability of appropriate replacement tubes. These can also be
ordered directly from Summit Audio.
Please fill out the enclosed warranty card. If you have any questions
about the operation of your DCL-200, please do not hesitate to call our
customer service department at (775) 782-8838 or contact us on the internet
