FS: Soundcraft Ui24 mixer/interface NEW BOXED - *WITHDRAWN* £550 Whitstable

[Beedster]

Details here https://www.soundcraft.com/en/products/ui24r

 

Long story but I paid for this on behalf of my then band a year ago and things have moved on without it ever having been used bar a simple 'does it work' check at the time. It's been housed in a very high quality SKB case since so has probably been better protected than would have been the case in a stock warehouse! Cheapest I can find online is £779 at Anderton's here https://www.andertons.co.uk/soundcraft-ui24r-digital-mixing-multi-track-recording-system/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20730020355&gbraid=0AAAAADujoUrk3NmIqXRRA2FwnV9VrsuUr&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0pzQ-9i5jgMVBj8GAB3mGgs6EAQYAiABEgLdSvD_BwE  Thomann/GFM are considerably more expensive.  

 

I prefer lo-tech mixers to be honest, hence not giving this a go. Will come with all original packaging. Trade-wise a large all tube head will always interest me

I also have an older version of the SKB case that I'll throw in if the buyer wants it, it's perfect for the Ui24 as it it has an area for laptop/tablet built in above the unit itself 👍

A brilliant deal for someone wanting to go digital. It has been revolutionary for my band, and improved the sound as much as it has simplified our set up. 

 

This is a step up from our Behringer, but the principles will be the same.

Digital mixers are the future.

Thanks guys, I agree re both. I bought this when I was playing upright in a 3-piece band which had a very specific challenge with live sound and especially vocal monitoring (some songs required 3-part harmonies supported by upright bass, slide guitar, and banjo. I'll give you a few minutes to calculate the chances of the whole thing being in tune with anything but 100% monitoring fidelity......)

 

Anyway, I loved the guys and and the music, but ultimately it was a real niche band (think Wood Brothers gigging the pubs of Kent), and we sacked it shortly after I bought this unit. My current band is one of these rare beasts that plugs into a mixer, plays, and barring a few tweaks, sounds good, so replacing the simplicity of the current Peavey desk that works really with the (relative) complexity of this unit seems unnecessary. A sound guy who I was talking to at our last gig however said he'd love to get his hands on one of these because it makes his job infinitely easier. Guess it's horses for courses 👍

Laptop/tablet sits in the top section, mixer sits in the rack space below. A bit old and shabby but a nice way of moving this unit around 👍

 

 

Previous owner installed a DIY cable router

Trade/PX for an interesting bass?

Chris, if I didn't already have a Ui-24 plus a Ui-12 arriving tomorrow morning then I'd have this off you in a flash. I could almost be persuaded that I should do a deal for it anyway so that @Silvia Bluejay and I have a spare for our frontline (>80 gigs a year) mixer.

 

How interesting would a bass need to be to get your attention?

Jack has some VERY interesting basses but most are too esoteric and/or expensive, so sadly this is still here. A Precision with rosewood board would grab my attention, as would cash 🤔

Offers before eBay?

[Beedster]

Need it gone, £450 without flight case (much cheaper to post as well)…..?

Final day, or I'm going to - rather stubbornly - rack it as an interface in my studio and rather stubbornly damn well learn how to use it
