Notes: channel_format, form_factor, and back_design are inferred from page description, not stated verbatim as such. power_watts not disclosed on manufacturer page (only AC voltage/frequency: 105-125VAC/60Hz USA). price_usd ($324.97) is an aggregated 'starting from' figure via Equipboard price tracker (specific dealer/condition unclear) since Sweetwater listing shows the product as discontinued/no longer stocked and B&H lists PRO MPA III as its replacement; treat as approximate street price, not a firm current list price. country_of_manufacture and year_intro not stated on page. max_spl/sensitivity/driver_config/polar_pattern not applicable to a line-level preamp and left blank.
