2019

4 channels of class A preamplifiers in a single rack space unit in very good condition. All channels work, and sound great. There are a couple of very minor scratches/blemishes on it, but nothing too noticeable. Used in my smoke-free studio, and hardly moved. Selling because I ended up replacing with the API 3124V, but these Daking pres sound really great/clean.

Very good condition Daking Mic Pre IV. Works as it should, and sounds great. Was used in my home studio for the past few years.
