Splice MkII SA-76 500 Series FET Compressor
Serpent Audio Splice MkII SA-76 500
Dial in dynamics on any source with the Splice-500 MkII FET Compressor from Serpent Audio, a chimeric compressor that blends vintage and modern FET flavors in a single unit. In a compact one-slot 500 series format, the Splice-500 MkII provides all the flexibility of Serpent Audio's Splice MkII rack unit, giving you faithful recreations of two classic compressors. Whether you're on the hunt for vintage Bluestripe warmth or the controlled sound of Blackface 76-style compression, Splice-500 MkII gives you all that and more, with the ability to independently select input and output stages of both. With four compression styles to choose from, this gives you total flexibility in the studio to craft creative compression with premium analog tone.
Comprehensive controls for input and output gain, attack and release times, and a generous ratio up to 20:1 makes it easy to control dynamics of any source. A Mix control enables parallel compression techniques, while a front panel link switch allows for simple synchronization in a stereo configuration with another unit. Harken back to the rich sound of the aggressive "all buttons in" mode with the Slam switch, and tailor your compression response to taste with the integrated sidechain high pass filter. If you're looking for a fantastic 500 series compressor that combines classic sounds with creative new possibilities, the Splice-500 MkII from Serpent Audio is an easy addition to any rack.
