Details
Controls: 4-band EQ (High/Hi-Mid/Low-Mid/Low, +/-16dB per band, stepped/detented, selectable center frequencies), HPF push-button (80Hz, 12dB/oct), EQ bypass push-button, output level (+15dB additional), LED gain metering
I/O: Input: XLR (API-compatible rack); Output: XLR (via host rack)
Notes: 500-series module (separate row from rack EQ variants Ascent One EQ / Ascent Two EQ, which share this same Gyrator EQ circuit paired with a mic preamp). No mic/line preamp of its own -- pure EQ, hence classified Equalizer. price_usd ($899, Front End Audio) is a street/dealer price, not a published manufacturer MSRP.
