Details
Controls: Selectable plate voltage, auto/manual attack-release switch, separate attack and release controls, +4/-10dB output level switch, LED source-select switches for VU monitoring, semi-parametric EQ (switchable pre/post dynamics), large analog VU meter, LED meters, multi-section clip monitor
I/O: XLR mic input (150-3.4kohm variable impedance), 1/4" high-impedance instrument input (2.5Mohm), preamp insert input (.5kohm); balanced XLR output (600ohm), unbalanced output (300ohm), insert outputs (300ohm)
Notes: channel_count inferred as 1 (mono) from 'channel strip' product category and single-XLR-input signal path -- not an explicit numeric spec on the page, flagging as inference. form_factor 'rack' inferred from product family/category (page gives no explicit dimensions or rack-unit height, so rack_units left blank). phantom_power explicitly checked and NOT mentioned anywhere on the page -- left blank rather than assumed. price_usd ($459.99) is corroborated consistently across Reverb, Walmart, and Pit Bull Audio listings -- reasonable confidence street price; note the product may be discontinued/legacy (superseded by Pro Channel III) so this could reflect remaining retailer stock rather than an active MSRP. country_of_manufacture, year_intro, power_watts not stated on page.
