Live it! Instantly solved my cpu issues.

By Mischa M on November 30, 2021

The only thing is that my I don’t have many plug-ins yet. Soon I hope to buy some essentials

By Nicolas R on November 20, 2021

This unit has tons of power and I can run all of my favorite plugins without completely running out of DSP. It's a nice step up from the Quad I had originally.

By Vincent R on October 14, 2021

Fantastic addition to the toolbox. Some of the best plug-ins I have.

By Bob B on August 12, 2021

Love it. Is what it is. Does what it says on the tin. Gives me more DSP. A lot more. Thanks VK.

By John W on June 5, 2021

It allow me to work faster by performing realtime processing.

By Alberto S on March 4, 2021

As advertised, huge boost to DSP power.

By Patrick M on February 17, 2021

Works like a charm!

By Cassidy T on January 19, 2021

Unleashes the power of the Apollo to New levels. Sessions that were using 90% DSP even with a Quad Apollo are now using 25%.

By Michael B on January 7, 2021

Works perfectly and UA plugs sound great !

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

I had two Grammy wins this year - Ray LaMontagne & Carolina Chocolate Drops. Both made with help from Vintage King!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.
Phil T.
The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
Thomas W.
I am a new customer of yours. You guys provided me the absolute best deals in ordering all the equipment to power my brand new recording studio. Your customer service is amazing and i will always deal with you from here on out.
