The faceplate is immaculate. There are a few minor scratches towards the back from sliding it into the rack (this preamp is built like a tank!), which are pictured in the last photo.I purchased this unit from Sweetwater, then bought the A/D Card a little later. These are the best sounding and most versatile mic pre's I've ever owned. But alas, I'm downsizing my studio. So now is your chance to snag this brilliant piece of gear at a great deal!More info on this item:

Focusrite ISA 828 Microphone Preamp at a Glance:A remarkable, affordable preamp
Line inputs, easy DAW integration
Variable impedance
A remarkable, affordable preampThe ISA828 features eight original ISA transformer-based pre amps in a single robust 2U chassis, and offers the Focusrite signature sound at the lowest cost per channel to date. The eight ISA series transformer-based microphone preamps feature exactly the same vintage microphone preamplifier design as the original ISA110 module from Focusrite's critically acclaimed Forte console (including the original Lundahl L1538 transformer).Line inputs, easy DAW integrationThe pre-amps are complemented by eight line inputs, four instrument inputs. Thanks to its convenient 25 pin D-Type connectors, the ISA828 also integrates quickly and seamlessly with Pro Tools HD, as well as other popular hard disk recorders and mixing desks.Variable impedanceThe microphone input stage includes a variable impedance circuit, allowing the user to switch between four carefully selected input impedance settings. The original ISA110 setting is supplemented by three further impedance settings to perfectly match/creatively mismatch the pre amp with any microphone collection. The four front panel instrument inputs also feature high and low impedance options to provide a comprehensive and accessible DI solution. Insert switches are also featured on every channel, should the need arise to place extra processing between the pre amp and converter. Vintage design highpass filters are also provided on every channel.Focusrite ISA828 Microphone Preamp Features:Eight original Focusrite ISA transformer-based pre amps in a single 2U space
