having recently moved from a spacious log cabin studio in maine to a smaller basement studio in new york city (see pics at vinceclarkemusic.com), vince decided he no longer needed his Yamaha DM2000 mixer and asked us to help him sell it.  this item was used in the production of erasure tracks recorded in maine.  we initially planned to buy it for our crazy new vintage synth studio, but decided to do our mixing inside the computer instead.  we have been regretting this decision ever since, as it’s way faster and easier mixing on a dedicated mixer, and this is one of the best of its kind.  unfortunately, we’re out of space, so we decided to sell it for vince instead.  if it doesn’t sell soon, we may just take it off the market and make room for it in our studio after all.  


here’s a pic of erasure with this unit at the cabin studio:

this mixer is incredible.  it’s expandable for up to 96 channel inputs (!), has patch memory for instant recall of sessions, built in effects, motorized faders, great EQs, and excellent sound quality, all in a relatively compact package.  for general info on this model, the sound on sound review is great.  check it out here:

this sale includes the following:


yamaha dm2000 mixer

meter bridge

2 digital i/o cards model yamaha my16-at (we bought additional cards which we will make available once this unit sells)

manual 

power cord


we briefly tested this unit and it appears to be working as it should. however, this is a very complex piece with a relatively steep learning curve, so we did not test it as meticulously as we test our other items because we just aren’t familiar enough with it to do so.  we have to therefore make it clear that this is a strictly as is sale, with no warranty expressed or implied, no returns or refunds, whole or partial.  we have no reason at all to suspect there’s anything wrong with it, we just dont know it well enough to guarantee this.  note: the photos of the display show “warning: wrong word clock!”.  we installed other ADAT cards in this unit but later removed them and forgot how to restore the previous settings, which we believe is why this message is showing up.  if you know the dm2000 well and can tell us how to get rid of this message, we would love to hear from you. 


ebay limits the number of photos we can post.  we took lots of photos not shown here - contact us if you’d like a link to all of them.


due to the abundance of scammers on ebay, please contact us before bidding with a sentence or two explaining your interest in this item so we know your bid is legitimate.  if we do not hear from you, we reserve the right to cancel your bid.


if you buy this item, we will require you to send a $300 hold deposit via paypal IMMEDIATELY.  we will then put this item on hold for you and give you 1 week to sort out payment of the remaining balance (by bank transfer from your account to ours or cash in person ONLY) and collection or packing and shipping arrangements.   if we do not receive your paypal deposit within 1 hour of your commitment to buy, we reserve the right to relist this item.


this mixer will be available for pickup in the NYC area.  due to its size, value and fragility, we will require it to be professionally crated if it’s going to be shipped.  we are not set up to crate items here, but can deliver it to our crater (who does a great job but is very expensive) or we can deliver it to the professional crater and shipper of your choice within 20 miles of astoria, new york.  

SHIPPING IS NOT FREE - all packing and shipping costs and arrangements (other than our delivery of this item to your shipper) will be your responsibility.  


thanks for your interest!  we have some synths from vince as well which we will eventually auction.  please contact us if you'd like to know once we've listed them.


NOTE: if this item does not sell shortly, we are considering dropping the price of the console and removing the ADAT cards and selling them separately.
