Apogee AD-16X (2011) with X-HD Card, Firmware 3.00

Description

Apogee AD-16X, 2011 production, with the X-HD option card installed. Firmware on the cards is upgraded to 3.00 so the converter connects to Pro Tools HD and HDX and appears as an Avid HD I/O. Light studio use. Selling because the room is moving to Dante. The sound is still magic.

If you have outboard gear and need to record this into your DAW but don't want to spend thousands on high-end converters, this thing is what you need. They can still be connected if you don't have Pro Tools using Apogees Symphony cards or using their X Firewire cards and then use a FW to USB converter. Remember these were top notch A grade converters and still compete with the very best out there.

Units Available

• There are 3 AD16x units available (I used 2 and kept 1 as spare but never needed the spare so it has even less use but it has been tested and works perfectly. All have the X-HD card)
