Used pro interfaces

Pro interfaces are the rack units and top desktops, built for recording a band or a drum kit in one go. The Scarlett 18i20 3rd Gen has eight mic preamps plus ADAT in and out for eight more channels each way. The MOTU 828es, 8pre-es and 1248 add AVB networking, and the Apollo x-series and Studio 192 sit here too. Check power first. The 18i20 and the MOTU boxes take a mains cable to a supply inside, while rack Apollos use an external 12 V supply on a locking 4-pin XLR. Look for the rack ears if you'll mount it.
