Details
Controls: 4 overlapping EQ bands per channel (12 switch-selectable frequencies plus a '+1 step' semitone shift each), cut/boost pot, bandwidth pot (1/4-4 octave), shelving/peaking switch on outer bands, low-cut filter (12 or 24dB/oct), color function
I/O: Balanced XLR input/output; male and female DB-15 side-chain connectors for accessing/patching individual EQ filter bands externally
Notable use: Compared favorably to the GML 9500 and Manley Massive Passive in a 2005 Pro Audio Review review
Notes: year_intro is estimated from the earliest located press review (Pro Audio Review, reprinted Jan. 2005, implying a 2004 release) — flagged as inferred, not from an official source. A fully-stepped mastering variant (IBIS/M) is also sold; it is not itemized separately here since the task brief did not name it explicitly.
