Notes: V2 ("2nd Wave") revision, flagged vs original V1 IN-8. Kali's own page gives only a shared "starting at $449" figure for the Independence line (which appears to reference IN-5); IN-8 V2 is NOT separately priced on the manufacturer page. price_usd=499 is a street price sourced from Sweetwater (each), flagged as inferred/secondary-source pricing. io_summary/controls left blank — not itemized in page text (image-only). Designed/engineered in California per site; manufacturing location not stated.
