What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rock solid, one of the best IO's I've ever owned

after spending many thousands of dollars on other multi-channel IO's in the earlier days of Atmos, I am so glad this box finally came around. Bought mine as a demo and it's been a stable performer since day one. I do wish there was a serial port that I could connect my Sync-X with instead of using the old HDX card, and an RCA SPIDF would be nice. The DADMAN software does take a little bit to figure out all the routing, but with so many possible options I don't know how you'd do it differently.

Im in therapy now . .

I wanted this to be EVERYTHING. Purchased with an HDX card. Ive been around pro audio for a bit now and it took me hours to pass audio. Multiple calls to AVID to get the profiles to work in conjunction with their S6 console which cost $ a year to talk to a human, and still left me with more to be desired.DADMAN makes me cry more than my real dad. JK, my dad is great, however, deleting DADMAN was the greatest feeling Ive ever had. For those wondering, the MTRX requires DADMAN to control it because it doesn't work by itself. So get your comfy's on and prepare for an endless amount of time on YouTube trying to figure this hoss out.

MTRX Studio failed

I purchased this is march 2021 and by Dec 2021 it was failing, the headphone jacks failed. Avid worked with me to figure it out and determined the MTRX Studio needed to be returned and repaired and gave me an RMA. Sweetwater worked with me and we got it sent in, instead of repairing the item avid sent a replacement that I got in February. Within 30 days that one starting popping my speakers and randomly power cycling, I contacted avid again and because this was a week out of a year warranty, they wanted me to pay almost $ to repair it…. Very disappointing!

Sweetwater stepped in and once again proved why I will purchase from them for my studio. They returned my item and got me into a apogee symphony and I could not be happier, should have gone this route in the first place!

Avid lost me as a customer for hardware!
