Crane
Song
Early in the 1980's Dave was asked
by a used equipment dealer if he could design
a tube compressor that would have the sound of
the older tube type devices and still be clean
enough to compete with modern devices. The result
was the Summit Audio TLA-100. Due to the success
of that design Dave Hill went on to design and
set up the manufacture of all Summit Audio products
until September of 1994 at which time Summit Audio
relocated the manufacturing to California. From
1984 to 1994 Summit Audio grew from a single product
and one employee working out of the basement of
Dave's home to a full product line and over a
dozen full time employees. Beginning in August
of 1995, several of those key members of the Summit
production crew began working for Dave again in
his new company called Crane Song.

of friends I built a small batch of stereo delay
lines, which I called the Multitracker, and that
was the start of Drawmer."
