Notes: JUDGMENT CALL: classified as Channel Strip (per field guidance: preamp+EQ in one channel = Channel Strip) even though Aurora markets/categorizes it as a 'Microphone Preamp' on their own site. Price not published by Aurora or found reliably at dealers (Vintage King requires quote request) — left blank rather than guessed. Phantom power not explicitly stated on product page for this model, so left blank despite being standard for mic preamps (no-guess rule). country_of_manufacture inferred as USA (Aurora is a US company; GT500 page explicitly states 'hand-built in North Hollywood, USA' — not independently confirmed for this specific model page). Rack unit height not stated on this product's page (blank rather than assumed).
