Details
Controls: Silent conductive-plastic input attenuator, illuminated VU meter (switchable: preamp output / main output / gain reduction), preamp gain 40 or 60dB, 3-band Baxandall-style shelving/peak EQ, ELOP electro-optical compressor with FET brick-wall limiter
I/O: Balanced XLR mic/line inputs, unbalanced 1/4" direct input, XLR output, 1/4" TRS insert point
Notes: Mono channel strip: preamp + 3-band EQ + ELOP/FET compression - fits Channel Strip device_class per guidance. Page text is internally inconsistent on rack size ('1U (1.75in) x 19in x 10in' but also 'occupies 2U of rack space') - used 2U (physical space occupied) and flagged the discrepancy. Phantom power not explicitly stated on page - left blank.
