The Console is an Allen and Heath 2800M  ("M" is for Monitor),
 
It may be considered as brand new, It has a robust flight case, on castors also.
 
It was made on special order to be 48i/p.  Normally they stopped at 40.
 
It's 48 mic inputs (with splitters) into 16 outputs configurable as 16 mono, 8 stereo or 
whatever combination.  No line level only or stereo input modules. 
 
It's, at its core, a big box of auxiliaries.  There are outputs on the monitor to drive In ear monitors or a monitor speaker (foldback wedge) so the monitor operator can get a good idea of what's being delivered to the performers.
 
The colour coding shows you which post/pre fade sends on the channel strips are controlled by which master faders.
 
In a studio it's possible it might find a home tracking a band.  The splitters mean any source could be tracked with boutique mic amps or with the channel strips with sniffer plugs or like I did, in the insert cct.  Any sane number of monitor mixes could be made for the band without latency.  The DAW would just be concerned with tracking and programme mixing.
