Notes: FLAG: evokes Neve 1073 module (mic pre + EQ), "i" = updated/current revision of X73 with added mid-range EQ frequencies. Classified as Channel Strip (full EQ). Rack format. Max output +26dBu into 600ohm; noise floor -83dBu max; EIN better than -125dB @60dB gain; distortion <0.07%. Price is street price from Front End Audio dealer listing, not manufacturer-published MSRP (site says call for price); another source cited MSRP $1595 / street $1375 — used street price as more consistently sourced. Country of manufacture "USA" flagged low-confidence (see X73 notes).
