Focusrite red 8 stereo mic preamp, designed by Rupert Neve. Amazing quality, durability, and design. Owned since new and kept in smoke free studios as backup preamp, so probably not even used for more than 400 hours in its lifetime. In great condition, with a tiny bit of rack rash. Below is some official information about this amazing preamp. Will ship worldwide at cost price (roughly £80 including insurance, but will be added to the final invoice), but can't accept returns. ________
