Notes: Current maker Pulse Techniques LLC. Solid-state gain-stage, mastering stepped-control version of MEQ-5 lineage. Fetched source explicitly stated '1U standard 19-inch rack format' for this model (other MEQ-family rack heights were not stated and left blank) - flagged since it differs in specificity from siblings, not independently re-verified beyond the product page text.
