Cranborne Audio 500R8 USB Audio Interface with 8-Slot 500-Series Rack 2023 – Present – Grey

Cranborne Audio 500r8 audio interface / 500 series chassis in excellent condition (includes USB cable, power cable, and 500 series screws). Purchased here on Reverb and used for several months in clean, smoke-free studio until I realized I needed a lot more I/O. Fantastic piece of gear, highly recommend for anyone interested in a hybrid digital/analog setup and exploring 500 series.
