NEAR MINT YAMAHA AW-4416 w/CF SSD drive, optical mouse, 16x digital I/O, & MORE!
These recorders are legendary for good reason! A second-to-none extensively featured digital mixer along with fully automated and motorized faders and loads of great feeling controls buttons are among them. They also sound astonishing. This is truly a professional studio in one box. Just add mics.
This particular AW-4416 is in truly phenomenal condition functionally and cosmetically. You won't find a nicer one.
Upgraded to utilize fast, reliable, and quiet CF memory cards (includes a 16GB card). The original 12gb HD is also included.  The hard to find optical mouse is also included. Note that this must be used with the included mouse pad. This mouse works far better than the more common ball-based mouse.
Also included are two digital "light pipe" (ADAT) I/O cards that, together, give you 16 channels of digital input and output. This is an *extremely* valuable upgrade, that allows you to do two *very* important things: 1) You can add up to 16 channels of external microphone pre-amps and A/D converters (or other digital sources) and 2) You can export full 16 tracks songs to a computer DAW in one pass, while keeping the whole thing in the digital domain. Awesome.
Also included are all three of the original user manuals (note that they are in French as this was purchased in Canada) and introductory video, as well as the original box and packing material.
I realize that my asking price may be a bit higher than others; but it is difficult to put a price on condition and extras. Please feel free to send your best reasonable offer and know that, if it doesn't sell right away, I will gradually lower the price.
I hate to let this go; but, for several reasons, the time has come. Please be good to her! :-)
