Notes: 'Made in California, USA' per manufacturer/retailer listing. Not explicitly named in the original research brief's product list but included per the golden-rule instruction to cover ALL current products on littlelabs.com. price_usd left blank: a $930 MSRP figure surfaced in search results but its source page could not be confirmed (came from a German dealer domain, kmraudio.de, likely EUR-denominated), so left blank per blanks-over-guesses and the USD-prices-only rule. Uses a Nixie-tube display rather than a traditional VU meter. Year introduced not published.
