I saw this A&H Studio ACE Series mixer for sale. I tried to find info on the A&H website and the web and cant find any. anyone here know anything about this ? When were they made, is the sound good , is it worth the $400.00 the guy wants, etc. its 24 channel with 8 aux.

Found a similar product on A&H's website, apparently it's called the Saber 8.

If you want lots of knobs and won't go digital $400 is a good price.

If memory serves its more designed as a studio tracking board, 6 aux on 4 knobs, assign switches up top 3 band eq with single swept mids. more for mixing down froom a 16 track studio than live work.
Its old tech.
If it truly is what you need it might be a fair valuation, if not its a waste of $400

Is it in good working order? Does it fit your needs? As Richard said, the workflow of the design is more for studio work, but it may do the job for what you need.
Remember that this is likely a 20+ year old unit, so reliability is going to start to be a concern. Some components may have drifted out of spec, so sound quality may not be as good as you expect.

Let alone finding parts.
It's a crap shoot.
