Details
Controls: Ratio (2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, plus 1:1/soft-bypass), 'Slam' mode (All-Buttons-In emulation), selectable 600Ω output loading, sidechain High-Pass Filter, stereo-link switch
I/O: Standard 500-series I/O via rack; stereo-link port for pairing two units
Notable use: 500-series-format version of the Splice MKII 1176-style FET compressor, packing the rackmount unit's mode-switching (Blackface/Bluestripe) into a single slot
Notes: Site used: serpentaudio.com (official product page, confirmed live) + dealer listings for price (consistent ~$1,349 across retailers, some listed as 'starting at'). High confidence. Lineage: same 1176 Blackface/Bluestripe dual-mode design as the rackmount Splice MKII, condensed to 500-series format. Confirmed single-wide (single-slot) format via multiple dealer descriptions. year_intro left blank, not stated.
