Notes: JUDGMENT CALL: device_class does not map cleanly onto the provided enum - the ngLeveler is not a threshold-based dynamics processor; it is a 16-channel analog gain-riding/fader-automation system with adjustable saturation (THD), typically paired with ngSumBox for automated mix-bus level rides. Classified as 'Hardware Effects' as the closest available category; could arguably also be described as an analog fader/automation controller (no such category exists in the schema). Digitally-controlled analog: gain stages are analog, fully automatable/recallable from the DAW via USB/Ethernet. year_intro (2020) based on trade press (announced alongside ngBusComp ahead of NAMM 2020, shipping ~April 2020). price_usd is a dealer sale price observed (list price ~$2,758.80 at Pro Audio Design, similar street prices $2,110-2,299 elsewhere); not an official WesAudio MSRP.
