Notes: SCOPE FLAG: this is a 10-channel outboard mixing console/sidecar (dealer copy compares it to the Neve BCM10), not a preamp/channel-strip/EQ/500-series module explicitly named in the task brief, but included as current in-scope Aurora pro-audio hardware per the broader 'cover ALL current products' instruction — flag for confirmation if out of intended scope. JUDGMENT CALL on device_class: chosen as 'Recording Console' (closest fit in the allowed enum) rather than 'Analog Mixer' since it functions as a full tracking/mixing console with individual channel EQ and direct outs, not just a simple mixer — could reasonably be recategorized as 'Analog Mixer' depending on taxonomy intent. Weight 130lbs. price_usd=25000 is the base/starting dealer price found via web search (options: w/ insert = $28,600; w/ insert & mon = $31,100) — not confirmed as an Aurora-published MSRP, and no price appears on Aurora's own product page. 130lbs weight; wood cheeks and leather armrest noted as premium build details.
