FROM SOUNDCRAFT WEBSITE:
DESIGNING GOOD AUDIO MIXERS HAS NEVER BEEN EASY - BUT WITH THE WIDESPREAD USE OF ULTRA-QUIET DIGITAL RECORDERS, AND IMPROVEMENTS ALL THROUGH THE LIVE AND STUDIO AUDIO CHAIN, TODAY'S MIXERS HAVE TO STAND UP TO CLOSER SONIC SCRUTINY THAN EVER BEFORE. AT THE SAME TIME, MIXING HAS BECOME LESS A PROCESS THAT TAKES PLACE AT THE CONSOLE ALONE, AND MORE ONE THAT INVOLVES OUTBOARD EFFECTS, SAMPLERS, AND SYNCHRONISATION OF AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDERS. IT'S A BIG TASK FOR A MIXER TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ALL OF THAT - WHICH IS WHY SOUNDCRAFT CREATED GHOST, THE ULTIMATE AFFORDABLE ANALOGUE RECORDING CONSOLE.

SIMPLY PUT, GHOST IS THE ONLY DESK THAT DELIVERS THE AUDIO PRECISION, QUALITY AND ALL THE CONTROL FEATURES OF A BIG STUDIO DESK WITHOUT THE USUAL PROHIBITIVE PRICE TICKET. THE EQ, FOR INSTANCE, IS DIRECTLY COMPARABLE TO THAT OF THE CLASSIC SOUNDCRAFT 3200 AND EUROPA CONSOLES. NO COMPROMISES.

AN ALL-NEW MIC PREAMP, PROMIC, HAS BEEN DEVELOPED JUST FOR GHOST. ITS PERFORMANCE ALONE PUTS GHOST INTO A DIFFERENT LEAGUE FROM OTHER CONSOLES OF SIMILAR PRICE.

THE KILLER PUNCH, HOWEVER, IS DELIVERED BY GHOST'S INTEGRAL COMPUTER-BASED MACHINE CONTROL AND MUTE AUTOMATION. DERIVED FROM THE INNOVATIVE SOUNDCRAFT DC2020 POST-PRODUCTION CONSOLE, THE MACHINE CONTROL IN GHOST MAKES IT FAR MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER MIXER. IT ACTUALLY FORMS THE HEART OF AN AUTOMATED RECORDING SETUP WITH COUNTLESS BENEFITS IN EASE OF USE AND PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY.



EXTRAS: THIS AUCTION ALSO INCLUDES THE METERBRIDGE, CONSOLE POWER SUPPLY, PROPRIETARY POWER CABLE, IEC POWER CABLE AND ALL DOCUMENTATION. EVERYTHING YOU'LL NEED TO PUT THE UNIT IN PLACE AND HAVE IT UP AND RUNNING IN GRAND FORM..
BESIDES THE AUDIO CABLING OF COURSE.

MODIFICATIONS: NOT MODIFIED.

HISTORY: THIS CONSOLE WAS THE CENTER-PIECE OF MY SMOKE-FREE, PROFESSIONAL RECORDING STUDIO IN AUSTIN, TEXAS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I USED THE GHOST AS THE CENTER OF THE MIX ENVIRONMENT PAIRED WITH A RADAR 24 MULTI-TRACK RECORDER AND AN OTARI MX5050 1/2" 8 TRACK TAPE MACHINE. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER WITH THE SOUND, FLEXIBILITY AND GENERAL INTUITIVE NATURE OF THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.

COMMENTS: THIS CONSOLE IS LIKE BRAND NEW; LOOKS LIKE NEW AND FUNCTIONS PERFECTLY. I OBSESS OVER THE MAINTENANCE OF ALL OF MY EQUIPMENT. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL THAT THIS CONSOLE WAS EVER USED AT ALL.

THIS UNIT WAS NEVER TOURED
