Re: [LAU] Echo Audiofire12 units available

I also have a couple of audiofire8 interfaces if anyone wants them. Nice
units but I’ve moved on. I had them linked to get 16 channels.

Don’t really want money for them — just cover shipping costs and some beer
money as an incentive.

PM me if interested.

Sorry if I hijacked this thread.
