Details

Controls: Selectable plate voltage (low for warmth/drive, high for bandwidth/headroom), variable mic input impedance, compressor, de-esser, switchable expander/gate (each independently bypassable with dedicated metering), 4-band semi-parametric EQ (switchable low/high frequencies, 5+ octave sweepable mids, switchable pre/post-compressor placement), analog VU meter plus multi-segment LED meter (peak/average/gain reduction)

I/O: Analog: XLR and 1/4" inputs/outputs. Digital: USB (class-compliant audio interface, no drivers required), AES/EBU, S/PDIF, optical (ADAT Lite-pipe/TOSLink), word clock input and thru.

Notes: channel_count inferred as 1 (mono) from 'channel strip' product category and single-input signal path -- not an explicit numeric spec on the page, flagging as inference. USB class-compliant audio interface capability noted per task instructions (functions as a 1-in/out USB audio interface in addition to the analog channel-strip path); dsp field left blank since ART does not describe this as internal DSP processing, and digital_control left blank per instructions (no recall layer over the analog controls -- all knobs are manual). phantom_power explicitly checked and NOT mentioned anywhere on the page -- left blank rather than assumed (notable since it is a mic preamp with an XLR input). price_usd ($635.99) sourced from Sweetwater's current listing price -- reasonable confidence as an active in-stock price. rack_units, power_watts, impedance_ohms, country_of_manufacture, and year_intro not stated on the manufacturer page.
