Details
Controls: 3-position pivot/tilt EQ (fulcrum at 160Hz, 800Hz, 1.6kHz), Dark/Bright tone control, output level control, 10-position LED output metering
I/O: Input: 1/4" jack (TS) input & through input, front panel; Output: transformer-isolated balanced XLR, rear panel
Notes: 500-series module. FLAG classification judgment call: retailers (Sweetwater/Reverb) market this as a '500-series Channel Strip', but it has no mic preamp gain stage or dynamics processing -- only a DI/line input buffer plus a tilt/pivot EQ -- so it is classified here as Equalizer per the device_class guidance (EQ = Equalizer). DI input impedance stated as 10Mohm. price_usd ($749, ZenPro Audio) is a street/dealer price, not a published manufacturer MSRP; other listings seen from $556-$749.
