Notes: 500-series single-channel version of the DBC-20 rack compressor (design inspired by vintage Neve 2254). Discrete Class A, transformer-coupled, diode-bridge topology (flag). Channel count inferred as mono/1 from copy stating 'two Kick compressors can be side-chain linked for stereo operation' (page does not use the word 'mono' directly - flagged as inference). Power: up to 140mA +/-15-18V DC from frame. Price from US dealer Front End Audio.
