This is a beautiful recorder and far superior to other recorders in this size and price range (e.g., the ICE16). It has been a flawless recorder for me when making 16-channel live recordings to a USB flash drive or a Glyph GT050Q external USB hard drive.The unit has a few light marks on the bottom, but the faceplate is clean, no scratches, and all lights and controls operate as expected. The rack ears are pristine. It has the latest firmware installed. I will ship in the original box with printed manual and recommended power supply, along with adaptors for AC in countries other than in North America. Here is part of a review of the unit in Sound on Sound magazine, dated January, 2010, from Hugh Robojohns:As a dedicated hardware recorder to capture a large number of channels in a live event, the BlackBox is a very attractive solution. It is an easy-to-use, well focused design, with excellent sound quality, in a very compact space. ... For any situation where there's a need to record a number of tracks from a console in a very convenient and straightforward way, the BlackBox recorder offers a very attractive solution and is worthy of serious consideration. The standard version configured to work directly from console insert points will suit most applications, but the alternative versions with balanced I/O and digital I/O will undoubtedly suit any remaining markets.
