"BridgeCo's Breakout Box solutions are ready-to-go reference designs for
manufacturers of music industry equipment."

See:

In other words: manufacturers can buy a complete design (including firmware
etc.) from BridgeCo and use that (and components delivered by BridgeCo and
others) to manufacture the hardware.

PreSonus is one of those "manufacturers of music industry equipment":
