In all fairness, i doubt i've ever claimed i'm not a MOTU fanboy, but i DO have somewhat of a soft spot for their hardware. That may or may not be visible from the contents of this blog, especially lately. And since i'm planning on an AVB setup here at the home studio, when i saw this thing going for about half the usual used-market price, i couldn't pass up the opportunity.
Yet another score from the "morgue" - this time around, a feature-packed little bundle of audio joy, namely a MOTU Ultralite mk3 Hybrid. This was up for sale as "no longer powering up", and for a two-figure price, i couldn't pass it up.
A couple weeks back, an acquaintance contacted me about his Axe-FX II suddenly not powering up anymore. I saw this as an opportunity to at the very least take a peek under the hood of one of these things (still selling for four-figure amounts), so why not?
I had neglected to snap photos of the outside of the thing (because other priorities), so you'll have to settle for some "stock" shots. Not that there's anything overly interesting to see anyway.
