Notes: Up to 74dB clean gain, max output level 31dB (per manufacturer page — closest published figures to a gain-range spec). FLAG: sold as a 'limited edition' product; some retailer listings (Sweetwater, Long & McQuade) indicate it may no longer be regularly stocked. price_usd left blank — the only figure found ($1,680) came from an older Mix magazine field test, not a current retailer listing, so it was not used. Phantom power, rack units, channel format, country of manufacture and year introduced are not stated on the product page. No 500-series version of Lmnopre exists per Little Labs' own site or retailer catalogs.
