Shop Used Recording Gear at Guitar Center

Looking for industry standard recording equipment without the high price? Guitar Center offers a massive assortment of used recording gear, including audio interfaces, studio monitors, microphones, and mixers from top brands like Focusrite, Universal Audio, Neumann, AKG, PreSonus, and more. Whether you’re building a humble home studio, upgrading your professional commercial setup, or adding to your personal collection, our used inventory delivers exceptional value.

Why Buy Used Recording Equipment?

Save Big on Industry Standard Recording Gear

Used recording gear allows you to own professional grade equipment at a discounted price compared to new, making it easier to upgrade your studio setup without overspending.

Find Vintage Rare Equipment

Many classic studio preamps, compressors, and microphones are no longer in production. The used market is the best place to find vintage and rare recording gear. You may find a Neve preamp, a classic Shure SM7A, or a vintage LA-2A compressor.

Unique Sound Characteristics

Well maintained used gear is often just as reliable as new equipment. Many high end microphones and preamps sound more desirable with age, delivering warmer smooth tones and unique character.

Why Choose Guitar Center for Used Recording Equipment?

Professionally Inspected and Tested

All used recording gear is thoroughly tested and inspected to ensure full functionality and reliable performance before being listed for sale in store and online.

Shop in Person or Online

With a huge selection of used studio equipment across multiple stores, you can shop online or visit a Guitar Center store near you to test the equipment in person.

Sell or Trade Your Used Studio Equipment

Looking to upgrade your studio? Trade in your used recording equipment for store credit or cash up to $1000 toward your next purchase.

45-Day Satisfaction Guarantee

We stand by the quality of our used recording gear. If you're not satisfied, return your purchase within 45 days for an exchange or refund. Limitations apply on vintage models.

Best Used Recording Gear for Different Studio Needs

Used Audio Interfaces for Crisp, Quality Sound

Popular used options include the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, an excellent entry-level interface with top-tier preamps and seamless USB connectivity. For those needing more power, the Universal Audio Apollo Twin provides built-in DSP processing for professional-grade recordings. If you require multiple inputs and outputs for larger sessions, the PreSonus Studio 1824c is a solid choice, perfect for multi-track recording setups.

Used Studio Monitors for Accurate Mixing

A studio favorite is the Yamaha HS8, known for its flat response and clear sound. The KRK Rokit 5 G4 is a great option for home studios, offering punchy bass and well-defined mids. For those seeking premium near-field monitors, the Adam Audio A7X delivers exceptional detail and transparency, making it a top choice for professional engineers.

Used Microphones for Vocals & Instruments

The Shure SM7B is a legendary choice for vocals and podcasting, known for its smooth tone and noise rejection. If you're after a high-quality condenser microphone, the Neumann TLM 103 provides a rich, professional sound that excels in studio recording. The AKG C414 XLII is a highly versatile mic, perfect for vocals, acoustic instruments, and room ambiance, making it a valuable addition to any studio setup.
