For sale Focusrite Saffire

[jonno1981]

Up for sale is my old sound-card. It's a Focusrite Saffire. It is sold unboxed (chucked it out a couple of years back - doh!) but in fully working order. Bought around 2008. I think it was around £280 at the time.

I still have the Firewire cable it came with and a CDROM with a free version of Cubase LE on it. The drivers and manual are available to download for free from the Focusrite website. [url="http://www.focusrite.com/downloads/saffire/"]http://www.focusrite.com/downloads/saffire/[/url]

It did come boxed with an AC adaptor but as it runs fine on the Firewire connection I never needed it. I think they only included it as some Laptops couldn't supply enough power to run the card.

Everything works fine and it records bass really well. The pre-amps are very decent.

Buyers are welcome to collect from my address in Reading or I can package and post it out for another £10. Paypal, cheque (with time to clear) or bank transfer suits me fine.

£60
