Avid C|24 Control Surface. Original Owner. Mint Condition. Rarely Used.

If you've been looking for a clean Avid C|24, this is probably one of the nicest examples you'll find. I am the original owner and purchased this console while working for Avid. Unlike most C|24s that spent their lives in busy commercial studios running day and night, this one lived in my personal, smoke-free studio and was used primarily for occasional testing and hobby recording.

The reality is that I work long hours, so this console has spent well over 90% of its life powered off. As a result, it is in exceptional condition. The finish, faders, knobs, buttons, armrest, and overall appearance are virtually indistinguishable from new. It has never been abused, toured, rented, or installed in a commercial facility.

I'm only selling because my wife and I are downsizing and relocating.

Why the C|24 is still a fantastic console:

The C|24 is much more than a Pro Tools controller. It was designed as the centerpiece of a professional studio and combines tactile workflow with serious analog functionality.

Features include:

• 24 touch-sensitive, 100 mm motorized faders

• 24 rotary encoders with LED rings

• 16 high-quality built-in mic/line/DI preamps with phantom power, variable gain, and high-pass filters

• Integrated 8-channel stereo line submixer for bringing external instruments and sources directly into your workflow

• Excellent integrated 5.1 surround monitoring section with dedicated monitor controls

• Built-in talkback microphone plus remote talkback and listenback connections

• Dedicated controls for EQ, dynamics, inserts, sends, automation, transport, editing, and navigation, allowing you to spend less time using a mouse and more time mixing

• Ethernet connectivity with Pro Tools using Avid's EUCON predecessor control architecture for fast, responsive operation

Condition:

Excellent to near mint. Everything has been carefully maintained in a smoke-free, climate-controlled studio. This is about as close as you'll get to finding a "time capsule" C|24. It's like that car that grandma owned that sat in her garage and never got driven. A real find.

Included:

• Avid C|24 control surface

• Original external power supply

• Full complement of break-out cables, manuals, and original packaging, YES, I have the original box!

Local pickup is strongly preferred due to the size and weight of the console, although I will consider shipping if the buyer is willing to cover professional packing and freight.

If you've been waiting for a clean C|24 rather than one that's spent years in daily commercial service, this is the one. Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you'd like additional high-resolution photos. Obviously the monitors/speakers are not included in the sale.
