Up for sale is a well-cared-for E-MU 1212M Digital Audio System, kept in a clean, smoke-free professional studio. This interface is legendary for its audio quality, featuring the same mastering-grade 24-bit/192kHz A/D converters (AKM5394) used in the original Digidesign Pro Tools HD 192 I/O interfaces.
Key Features:
Pristine Audio: 120dB Signal-to-Noise ratio for crystal-clear recording and mastering.
