Selling my Emax II rack unit in excellent cosmetic condition. This is a very clean example that was clearly well cared for by the previous owner, and it presents beautifully overall.

This Emax II is model 2213 complete with stereo Sampling & 2 MB installed sample RAM. This listing includes an external ZuluSCSI storage system, SCSI connection cable, and SamplerZone SD card and documentation.

The included SamplerZone factory library contains a substantial collection of original E-mu Emax factory sounds, sourced from E-mu's original floppy-disk library.

The factory disk image contains approximately 89 Emax I/II sound banks, providing a large selection of vintage sampling material to explore.

Important note

This is vintage hardware, so I want to describe it honestly: during my ownership, I experienced intermittent startup issues where it was slow to boot. As part of troubleshooting, I opened the unit, inspected the internal connections, and reseated the ribbon cables.

Since performing this maintenance, the sampler has successfully booted during repeated testing, including with the ZuluSCSI storage system. Loading sample banks is lightning fast! It has been functioning normally in my studio.

This is a great option for someone looking for the classic Emax II sound in a very clean rack unit, especially with the convenience of modern SCSI storage.

Will be packaged carefully for delivery and will also include an OS 2.14 Boot Floppy.
