The preamp of the OP was probably built for factory usuage to supply music and announcements over the 'in house' entertainment system for the factory workers. It may also have been used in warehouses, larger offices and shops for similar purposes.

In those applications I would have expected a mono output, even with stereo inputs, separate preset gain controls, and balanced input at least for the mic(s). While its purpose might well have been within a commercial installation, perhaps one more along the lines of demonstration or testing of audio equipment?
