Notes: JUDGMENT CALL / naming flag: user's brief referenced 'GTQC2' but Aurora's current site names this product 'GTQC' (no '2' suffix); one dealer listing (Professional Audio Design) titles it 'GTQC Mk10' which is not corroborated elsewhere and may be a dealer-side typo/version tag — used base name 'GTQC' from Aurora's own site. Combines one channel of GTQ2 preamp + one channel of GTC2 compressor per Aurora's description. price_usd=3638 is a dealer (Professional Audio Design) price found via web search; other dealers show a wide range ($2,895 RRP at Calistro Music to $3,465-$3,638 elsewhere) — no single Aurora-published MSRP found, so this is flagged as approximate/variable. rack_units=1 stated as 'single rack space unit' in product description; exact inch dimensions not given. Phantom power not explicitly stated — left blank.
