Default MC Pro Pricing

i just took another look at the MC Pro and i am dumbfounded on why the price is still so high. we have the artist series which share some of the same features of the MC Pro but so much cheaper. i can see paying $10k for the MC Pro but $26k?

The banking OLEDS are invaluable, the MC Pro is a very good product

When I learned about the Artist series capabilities i was dumbfounded on why the price was so low. With the Artist MC you get the same Eucon features for $1500 but many are complaining about the quality of construction. Between $25 000 and $1500, there is a tiny gap and it may explain the difference in quality.

But I would gladly pay $10,000 for an MC Pro too. The ergonomics of the MC Pro is simply amazing. You feel like sitting in a sport car and everything is at the right place. The quality of the wheel (very fluid) and the banking OLEDS are invaluable and I like the fact that they can be configured for different tasks (Sound Design, mixing, dialog editing)... At the press of a softkey.

2 months ago, I bought mine for 2500 euro, incredible bargain and it's in great condition too (demo). It's worth every penny, even when I would have paid double or triple.

Lucky you. I have seen one at $5000 and another at $8000 in the last 3 years. There are some amazing deal if you buy second hand.

I waited a couple of years for the right deal, my first offer was 10.000 euro, I'm glad I waited

The shop where I bought mine has another one is see:

http://www.speurders.nl/overzicht/f_...tml?q=euphonix

It's 3999 euro including 19% VAT... So if you want one, this is also a very good price.

Thanks!

Sure it's a good deal and I guess that won't be the bottom price. As I remember it is the unit with joysticks. I don't know about shipping. I'll send you the store details by mail.
