Notes: IMPORTANT FLAG: the research brief grouped DS800 under 'dynamic EQ', but verified manufacturer data (original XTA datasheet titled 'DS800 Active Mic/Line Distribution System') shows DS800 is an active mic/line audio DISTRIBUTION/SPLITTER system, not an equalizer of any kind - reclassified accordingly as 'Stagebox / Expander' (closest available category) rather than 'Equalizer'. The actual XTA dynamic-EQ product is 'D2' (Stereo Dynamic EQ), included as a separate entry below. DS800 is a legacy/predecessor unit, not on live xta.co.uk (no individual page; site's current distribution product is DS8000, see separate entry) - superseded by DS8000. No pricing found in USD or GBP from a live source (rental/hire and used-market listings only).
