Tips for buying a used C24

[Raggi]

Hi.
I am about to purchase a used C24 from end of 2009 and would like som pointers on what to look for and check before the final payment :)
Obviouse check the faders to see if any are defective/moving slow and run the console in Vegas mode to check all lights and movements.
Also open a session and run it.
Any other things you would suggest me to check?

If you care about the mic preamps, monitor section and built in mixer you need to check all of those carefully.

and, does it include all the cable package(or do you already have what you need)? Lots of 8 channel DB25 cables are required to run the beast Also, you MUST have a good earth ground in your studio or the faders may give you fits.

HI.
Thanks. My plan first i to use it as a control surface and then connect my Focusrite LS56 out->into the C24, but I have to buy the cables first. I don't think they are in this package. Also connecting my monitors and Headphone amp at a later stage.

Have them show you Vegas Mode to check fader motion and all leds.

Thanks. Yes I bought it and I had it for some days before paying to test it and everything works. No cables with the system. I bought 3 DB25-Jack to connect between the Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56, monitor and heaphone distribution.

The monitor, talk back, listen back works like a charm.
It's all good :)
