Used prosumer interfaces
Prosumer interfaces are the desktop flagships and the first boxes with more than a couple of mic preamps. The Apollo Twin family adds UAD DSP and Unison preamps. The MOTU UltraLite-mk5 packs 18 inputs and 22 outputs, with optical ADAT, into a half-rack box, and the PreSonus Studio 1810c has four mic preamps. Most of these need their own power supply. The Twin MkII takes a 12 V, 1.5 A centre-positive brick and the UltraLite-mk5 a 15 V, 1 A one, so ask for the original in the photos.
