Notes: FLAG device_class: classified as Stagebox/Expander per field guidance for networked I/O box; it is passive (no A/D conversion). price_usd $99 confirmed by multiple retailers (manufacturer UK store lists GBP 99, numeric match). This is hardware (an XLR breakout box), not a cable, so kept in scope despite the OUT note about CAST cables.
