Notes: Single 12AX7A tube leveling amplifier/compressor; commonly described in trade listings as a tube/solid-state hybrid design (Summit's own spec page emphasizes only the tube stage, so hybrid characterization is an inference from third-party retail copy - FLAGGED). Channel count of 1 (mono) is an inference from the presence of a stereo-link jack for pairing two units rather than an explicit 'stereo' spec - FLAGGED. Price ($3,499) sourced from Sweetwater listing, not an official Summit MSRP page - FLAGGED as street/dealer price basis. Year introduced not stated on site.
