Thank you for the follow through.
Should have specified "currently manufactured" in my post.
The BSS 901 is listed as a frequency-selective compression design, in contrast to the software dynamic EQ's which apply more or less EQ, with variable Q, as the dynamics exceed a threshold.
Multi-band compressor versus multi-band dynamic EQ?
More than semantics?
Lust is unabated for the
Natalus Dynamic Stereo Console EQ, which is inductive-based EQ, discrete class-A amplified and stereo controlled, with variable headroom as the controlling element.
A fresh take on the need to tame frequency bands (4) by their levels, by increasingly saturating them, just the peaks!

The DPR-901 II is a four-band parametric Dynamic Equaliser which allows frequency-selective compression (-3OdB) and expansion (+16dB).
Each band has:
A frequency sweep.
A bell width.
An IN/OUT switch.
Compress/expand control.
Compress/expand metering.
Threshold metering.
Time constants which are automatically controlled by dynamic and harmonic content of signal with selectable FAST RELEASE.
It has a filter switch on bands 1&4 which changes bell filter response to a shelving response and on bands 2 & 3 cancels the filter for wide band operation.
Electronically balanced input and output.
