Summit Audio TLA-50 Tube Leveling Amplifier - Manual (Page 12)

Warming: Set the
TLA-50's gain reduc-
tion to 0 with the unit
in “In” mode (not
bypassed). All audio
will then pass through
the vacuum tube
without compressing.
Adding a small amount
of compression at this
point will increase the
high frequency
response.
Using the TD-100 and TLA-50 together
For a great bass or guitar channel, try using the Summit
Audio TD-100 instrument preamp and tube direct box in
conjunction with the TLA-50.
Plug your instrument into the front panel of the TD-100
(see the TD-100 manual for more info) and run an XLR or
1/4" cable from the output of the TD-100 to the input of the
TLA-50. Use the 1/4” output of the TD-100 into the TLA-50
to go directly from the TLA-50 to your recording device, or
use the XLR output of the TD-100 into the TLA-50 and patch
the XLR output of the TLA-50 into a microphone preamp,
then into your recording device.
