Studio Equipment for sale
After losing some hearing in my right ear from a brain tumor a couple years ago, I’ve been doing less studio work, and have been traveling more while I can still enjoy it and my body is still capable.
A lot of my equipment has been sitting unused in my home studio for several years now, and as I’m preparing for my official retirement, I’m going to slowly sell off my equipment to fund more camera gear, traveling, and eventually turn my home studio space into a home theater.
I’m selling the following gear at well below prices found at Reverb.com, especially considering most of this equipment is in “like new” condition (unless otherwise noted). So, these are absolute lowest prices and I will not accept lower offers.
I’m offering these very low prices first to local studio owners and musicians, because I want this equipment to be put to use by the local community, and because I don’t want to deal with the hassle of selling online and shipping to people out of state.
All of this equipment has only been used in my own non-smoking, home based studio. Microphones always kept in their cases inside a microphone cabinet.
Just taking quick, low-quality photos of the gear with my cell phone (instead of my professional photography equipment), so you know these are real photos and not professional photos grabbed online. I’ll be adding more as I get around to it.

Cash or Venmo/Zelle only – in person in Issaquah
Feel free to ask me about what else I have for sale. Tons of microphones, microphone pre-amps, compressors, effects, etc. It will take me some time to take photos and post them all.
Sennheiser MD-421 II – $200 each
I have 4 of these available, although may keep one for myself. No dents or scratches on any of these, and you can take your pick. Cases and clips are all in like-new condition as well.
1 Sold – 3 remaining.
Shure SM57 and SM58 – SOLD
Audix i5 – SOLD
Audio Technica ATM-450 – $200 each
Side address condenser microphones, great for drum overheads, toms, etc.
Includes soft case, foam windscreen, and clips. Used only a few times. Perfect condition.

Neumann TLM 193 – black edition – $750
Another steal of a deal on a pristine condition microphone, with wooden box and clip
Other gear for sale – photos & prices coming soon (or on request)
Other people have asked what else I have, so this is what I came up with off the top of my head. There is certainly more, but these are the main items.
Microphone Preamps:
A-Designs Pacifica 2-channel microphone preamp/DI – SOLD
Chandler Limited Germanium Preamps/DI – 2 of them with the external power supply – $1500
API 3124+ 4-channel microphone preamp/DI – $2000
Presonus ADL 600 2 channel tube microphone preamp/DI (Anthony Demario Labs design) with an extra set tubes – this one has a bad connection somewhere inside that needs to be tracked down and secured, as it occasionally sputters – $600
Compressors:
Drawmer 1968 Mercenary Edition – 2 channel tube compressor, great for drums. Knob pots probably need a bit of cleaning, but otherwise works fine – $1000
Cranesong Trakker – two of these. My goto compressors when tracking, and I may still keep one of them, but they can be linked for stereo, so may let them both go for the right price – $1600 each
FMR Audio RNC and RNP combo with a funk logic custom rack panel to put them both into one rack space (compressor and preamp – 2 channels each) – $500 for all
Kurzweil KSP-8 – 8 channel multi-effects unit with ADAT optical interface card. Also works great as 8 channel A/D and D/A converters – needs new battery to save presets internally, otherwise works great – $700
Lexicon MPX-1 effects processor – $350
Kurzweil K2500 XS – 88 key weighted keyboard with sampling option, additional sample disks, and heavy duty adjustable/foldable stand – $1000. Needs new battery, and all but the top 2 keys have yellowed over time, but works fine. Works great as a weighted full size controller, but some pretty incredible sounds as well.
Panasonic SV3800 DAT machine

3x AKG-240 – $45 each
