E-MU Systems Darwin with Iomega Jaz Drive/cartridge Digital 8-Track Audio Recorder

Vintage E-MU Darwin 8-Track Digital Recorder (Model 4001) with 4-Channel Analog Expansion – Complete with Built-In Iomega Jaz Drive, 1GB Cartridge, & Original Manual. This is a fully operational, mid-90s E-MU Darwin 8-track digital recorder (Model 4001) in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition. This premium bundle is uniquely equipped with the optional 4-channel analog input/output expansion card, allowing you to record up to 6 analog channels simultaneously. Notably, the common failure points on these units are perfect here: the master data wheel is still tight and responsive, and all front panel buttons click cleanly. This specific unit features the built-in, front-loading Iomega Jaz drive, which reads and writes perfectly to the included 1GB Jaz cartridge. The rear panel includes the expanded analog audio I/O, the dedicated audio SCSI port, and stereo RCA S/PDIF digital input/output. Whether you are looking to transfer legacy 90s master sessions to a modern DAW via SCSI/digital or want to track up to 6 live channels with that pristine 20-bit vintage E-MU conversion, this machine is ready to plug and play. Included in the sale is the E-MU Darwin 4001 rack unit, the original physical operation manual (a rare find!), a 1GB Iomega Jaz cartridge, and the power cord. It will be meticulously packed and shipped securely.
