Notes: FLAGGED - product page is live and marked 'Out of stock,' but this SKU is NOT listed in the site's main /shop/ catalog (21 total items enumerated, this was not among them) nor in the /store/rackgear/ category page (which shows only 2 results: A-Range Dual Channel Strip and Deca Dent 500). Current-catalog status is therefore uncertain - may be discontinued/delisted rather than simply backordered. Included because it is the closest current match to the task's requested 'Series 80 comp/EQ modules' rack outboard coverage; verify live before publishing to catalog.
