A Great Deal on a LIO-8 with 4-preamps in Excellent Condition! I'm listing this like-new condition LIO-8 4-preamp interface at $850 below current pricing. This deal more than covers anyone who plans to upgrade to the 3d card when it becomes available (If I'm not mistaken the 3d upgrade is slated to cost around $500 to $600). Why purchase a ULN-8 for around $3000, when you can have an upgradeable LIO-8 in like-new condition, with 4 preamps to start you off? This auction includes: Rack earsAC adapter/power supplyFirewire 400 cablecarefully double-boxed for safe shipment I love this interface - it is so flexible, powerful, and sounds so great - but I need to downsize my studio!
From the manufacturer: LIO-8 Key Benefits at a Glance Exceptional, Best–In–World, Archival Grade Converter QualityFlexible, Integrated Analog-Domain Monitor ControllerUniversal Sample Rate SupportAnalog, AES and Firewire InterfacingRock Solid Stability: Mature, Real-World-Tested Firmware, Software and DriversInstant Access to Tactile ControlsFully digital control for total recall, remote control and control surface supportComprehensive Precision Metering — so you always know what is going onWorks with or without a ComputerMetric Halo's Exclusive Per-channel selectable Character — from ultra clean to nice and gooeyIntegrated ultra-low-latency instantiable processing with plenty of DSP power to run itMost Compact, Lowest Weight, Lowest Power and Lowest Price in its Class The best of everything you need, without the stuff you don't! When we introduced the ULN-8, people raved about the sonic quality, the features, and the power of our architecture. We also heard from the people that have their own "go to" mic pres, people that use analog consoles, and those that edit but don't record. They love the ULN-8 too, but didn't need the mic pres.We heard you. For you, we have the LIO-8.The LIO-8 incorporates the same Metric Halo Audio technologies in the ULN-8 including:192k sample rate support for both Analog and AES Inputs and OutputsNew DC-coupled, zero phase distortion, servo balanced Line Inputs and OutputsFully clickless remote controlled Monitor outputsAll LIO-8 analog outputs incorporate Metric Halo clickless remote technology allowing for flexible monitoring applications from stereo to 7.1 surround.Expandability As with all Metric Halo products, the LIO-8 features an upgrade path. Or two.While the base configuration of the LIO-8 doesn't include mic pres, you can opt to have 4 or 8 channels of the same ULN-R mic pres as the ULN-8 included in your unit. The LIO can be ordered this way from the factory, or the pres can be installed later.You can also choose to upgrade your processing by adding the +DSP license, which adds over 100 plug-ins to your LIO and gives you the ability to create and save complex processing "graphs" as well as access to factory supplied "macros" including processors, amp simulators and more. You can find out more about +DSP here. Adding +DSP to your LIO is easy, just put the software license code into MIO Console and your box is unlocked. Suite Solution With everything you need to record, mix, process, and master audio (just add your DAW of choice, analog front end and transducers), the LIO-8 is your one-stop solution for recording, edit, mix and mastering suites. Even if you are using a DAW or recording system that does not support the LIO-8 Firewire interface, the unit's standalone operation and standard AES and analog interface allow you to use it as the Audio Front End and Monitor Controller for Pro Tools, standalone and PC based recording systems. The Ultimate Digital Upgrade The LIO-8 is a great way to upgrade your audio system. Put it between your existing gear and your DAW to get all of the benefits of our analog design, conversion technology and DSP without ripping your room apart. Adding a LIO to an analog console is like buying new converters and getting a digital mixer with total recall for free. Using our ConsoleConnect technology you can insert EQs, compressors, gates, reverbs and more into our v.5 Mixer and have all your routing and settings recalled with your DAW session.A note about shipping: Ebay's estimated shipping cost lists the cheapest possible option, but is dependent on the distance shipped, so it will likely be more. The estimate also does not include insurance, which you will agree is necessary for an item of this value. I will not overcharge a buyer on shipping, but I will also not skimp. Please factor a higher shipping cost into your budget.
