Or perhaps a second mix/edit/master suitefor a growing studio. This system has always be a great sounding rock-solid performer and I have no reservations it willmarch as such as long as you wish.I am posting as a complete system for a while before parting out as individual components, but pricing it as such, which ofcourse would not include the ProTools, WAVES, or Toast software.I have tested it quite a bit as mentioned and did not detect any issues. Please see photos and feel free to ask questions.System will ship in 2 boxes:G4- In original box with Pro Mouse, Pro Keyboard, ProTools Dongle Key, Manual & Power Cable.192 I/O- In original box with Power cord, 12 foot DigiLink cable, and 2 @ 9.5foot 8 channel 25 pin DSUB xTRS plug Analog snakes.PLEASE note:1) Shipping is for the G4 only . The 192 will be a second ship fee. Carton/ship info: 31lbs 24in x21in x10in2) COMMENTS: Known issues:* G4 power button is finicky! This is a known trait of this model. To turn on I use right corner of my left hand thumb nail anddepress the front panel button at it's "11 O'clock" position for 2-3 seconds, and repeat if necessary. Also common, Protools-computer rigs occasionally will have issues, solved by re-booting.* One of the DSUB/TRS snakes has a weak channel 8. It's clean but down about 10db. It's clearly marked with yellow tapeat the plug end. I always mixed down to 2 channels, so it was never a problem. I've not included it in my ask price.* The Mac Keyboard is missing one of the small rubber feet, and it's plastic surround "bows down" a bit when lifted &examined. Neither affect performance.*Untested Mac rear panel ports, but worked fine when last used and assumed fine are: Ethernet, Modem, Firewire, AV inouts. I've tried to be as through as possible with my testing and description here as possible. Please see photos & I'll do mybest to answer any questions.THANKS for looking!
