Hello,
I have a Sapphyre console 44 channel (100 inputs 44 channels, 44 monitors, 6 stereo) in my production suite - it was delivered directly there from the factory in 1992 and has been there ever since. I'm not really using it to full capacity so maybe it's time to find it a new home!
As it's only had very light use in a smoke free room - its probably as close to "as new" as you can get and all works - it's been professionally maintained throughout it's life by the engineer who helped instal Real World studios and will be serviced again next week.
No patch bay - stuff plugs in at the rear of the console, has the original operating instructions and full factory service manual.
It is a lovely desk to use - I used (in a previous life) to have a studio with both a Harrison Series 10 and an SSL 6000 and before that a Raindirk - remember them ? - in my view the Sapphyre has acquitted itself extremely well in some high profile projects.
If anyone is interested I can provide more info.....
