foresense Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I'm going to pick up a Soundcraft Spirit Studio 24/8 tomorrow, I wanted to get something smaller, a Soundcraft EPM 12, but found this deal for 175 euro. These things are HUGE by my standards, and have loads of routing capabilities. Totally overkill right now, but what the hell, I have the space. Although it's old, it's cheaper then the one I was after. It's a good deal right? Too good to be true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Diao Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Have you checked out the unit personally? They are great desks, and so long as its in good working condition, sounds like you have yourself a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foresense Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Wicked, will have a thorough look tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hahathhat Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 1) bring a buddy. you don't want to muscle one of these things up/down a flight of stairs by yourself. 2) what happens when something malfunctions? that's always the fear 3) with big boards i had trouble reaching all the fings when doing a live mix but for 175eur i guess it's hard to fuck up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'cos i would not want to carry #1 solo, ho ho ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hahathhat Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 it's not just the weight -- how you gonna get your arms around it without mashing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foresense Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 okay I bought it. the dude kind of conned me into thinking it was a 24 channel while it was actually a 16 channel version. but what the hell, it's still cheap. not a steal but a good deal I guess.. it's HUGE and HEAVY. glad I didn't come by train.

Guest iep Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 nice, these things have the reputation of lasting a looong time. but let me know if you ever need to have some work done on it, i know a place in apeldoorn that specializes in soundcraft repair. this thing should be able to last you tens of year if you replace a little something here and there once in a while, proper oldschool solidness. btw, 150-200 is a fair price for a 16/8, not really a steal but you'll definitely have your money's worth if you take care of the thing.

foresense Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 alright thanks, I'll remember that! will let you know if somethings fuxed. it seems very solid indeed, like an SUV.. bought it off an old 'rocker' type dude, and he did let me check it out and everything seems alright.
