What is a B-stock product?

A product becomes B-stock when it can no longer be sold as new. It can simply be a product that has been returned by a customer or it may have packaging that is damaged or missing. It’s possible that the product itself may show slight signs of use or damage too. All B-stock products are fully checked to ensure that they work properly and you can find details of why the product is a B-stock in the information above.

B-stock information

The B-stock tab on the product page shows information about the B-stock product. Be aware that this information supersedes anything you may read in the product description. The product description includes text and specifications about the product in its brand-new state. It’s possible that a B-stock item may be missing accessories mentioned in the text or specifications, for instance, but if so, this will always be mentioned in the B-stock information. B-stock products also include photos of the actual B-stock item so that you can see exactly what it looks like.

B-stock photos

The B-stock photos allow you to see the actual B-stock product you are considering purchasing. The photos show the following::

  • Photo of the brand new product
  • Photo of the B-stock product with packaging (if included) and any accessories
  • Photo showing the front of the B-stock product
  • Photo showing the back of the B-stock product
  • Photo showing any damage to the B-stock product (if applicable)

Original packaging

Packaging in good condition: undamaged (sticky tape residue may be visible)
Packaging damaged: box has dents, tears and/or holes
Packaging missing: replaced with a Bax Music box

State of product:

New: the product itself is new, but the packaging may not look new
Signs of use (no damage or scratches): smudges, fingerprints and/or dust
Scratches/damage: product has scratches and/or damage

Can I return a B-stock product?

Yes! Our 30-Day Trial Period also applies to B-stock products.

Do B-stock products come with a warranty?

Yes! Our usual Bax Music warranty also applies to most B-stock products.

General

In the budget corner, the choice of audio interfaces is very numerous, perhaps so numerous that you might wonder what the real difference is between all those simple 2-in/2-out interfaces. In the higher end of the wallet, interfaces already become a lot more interesting. One of the brands competing well in that area is MOTU, or Mark Of The Unicorn. The Motu 16A (2025) is obviously not the cheapest audio interface, but then this product is not made for musicians-on-a-budget. On the contrary: this is an absolute monster when it comes to studio&recording.

Features of the Motu 16A (2025)

Sixteen balanced line inputs, sixteen balanced line outputs, plus two ADAT inputs and two ADAT outputs. Everything goes smoothly to your computer via Thunderbolt 4 or USB4. No microphone inputs, but via a separately available ADAT interface you can still feed your mic signal into this MOTU 16A. It is much more an interface to combine with a mixer that can send its inputs per channel back out again. For example, a mixer in a large concert hall. You can combine and daisy-chain multiple units via AVB networking, should the 16 inputs not be enough.

Bax Music Warranty This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

Motu 16A (2025) audio interface

Geweldig mooi apparaat. Nog nooit zo’n luxe (en dure…) geluidskaart gekocht. Het was wel flink stoeien met de software, zeker als je (ik) de gedachtengang van technici uit de opnamewereld niet kent. Ik ga m gebruiken voor broadcastdoeleinden in combinatie met een D&R Airence. Kan niet anders dan een flinke verbetering zijn!
