Notes: device_class judgment call: chosen Stagebox / Expander per field guidance ("a hub/distributor/snake"), matching its function as a pure network/power distribution box (no mixing/DSP). Note at least one dealer (Odyssey Pro Sound) files it under a "Headphone Amps / Distribution" storefront category, but it does not itself amplify or output headphone audio — it only distributes Cat6 network+power to remote Mixers — so Stagebox / Expander was judged the more accurate fit. Uses the same power supply as the Hear Back PRO Hub. Available in black or silver finish. Listed under manufacturer's /accessories/ site path even though it is a full standalone audio-network device, so treated as in-scope hardware rather than a true accessory (cable/mount). Price not published by manufacturer; third-party street prices found were inconsistent across sources ($638-$767 at B&H across different search results, ~$1,595-$1,992 at Odyssey Pro Sound) — left blank per golden rule (blanks over guesses) rather than pick one conflicting figure.
