Notes: dsp=true reflects the digitally controlled PLL/level-meter DSP and optional onboard 'DSP stick' expansion slot mentioned on page; not a full mixer engine like A32pro -- FLAG as lighter-weight DSP than A32pro/Pulse16 line. Bit depth not explicitly stated on product page (converters are ESS-based; SNR/THD figures given instead) -- left blank rather than inferring 24-bit. power_watts of 12 taken from stated '12 VA nominal consumption' (VA, not strictly watts) -- FLAG unit conversion. Ferrofish site EUR-only; price_usd $699.00 is US street price from Sweetwater, not manufacturer MSRP -- FLAG basis.
