Sound Pure's Take
The unit is in perfect working order. There is some visible damage to the right rack ear but it is still rackable.
From Universal Audio
Apollo interfaces are proud successors of the UA’s 60-year heritage of audio craftsmanship. The four onboard DSP procesors allow a nealry zero-latency usage of the high quality UAD plugins, giving your production that analogue sound.
This Apollo comes with 4 Unison enabled microphone preamps. This technology lets you enjoy the colour and texture of the classic preamps by modelling the thought after designs by Neve, Manley, API, Helios and UA.
8 line inputs and outputs, advanced, yet user friendly software make outboard gear connection, routing and creating multiple monitor mixes seamless.
Firewire and Thunderbolt 2 ports ensure hi-speed connectivity to your PC or Mac. Try daisy-chaining up to 4 Apollos and 6 UAD 2 devices together for an even more powerful setup.
External PSU works on both 110V and 220V, EU power cord is included.
