This is the studio edition. Max Ram, 8 outputs, Digital i/o for spdif, Effects Card upgrade. The best.
It also has a scsi2sd card installed in place of the standard Zip. This allows you to store all your samples on the included SD card , for HUGE amounts of space and fast loading. Much more reliable than the CF reader, much QUIETER than the Zip drives (and much, much more reliable). Flash Memory abilities in your MPC!
Item will be packed and shipped , fully insured, by UPS store.
Condition is overall very good. The rear of unit has some wear due to the original boxes foam disintegrating and causing some light paint damage. The screen is in great condition, and the top of the unit looks very good as well. Some light scratches on side , but overall looks great.
Priced to MOVE.
This model is going up in price every year. These ‘Studio’ editions were the cream of the crop when they first came out, and this is your chance to own one for cheap. Pads work great, no replaced parts (other than sd card reader upgrade).
The Card reader does have a bracket to keep it in place where the Zip was, and there is a slight gap there as the front of the Akai is curved and the reader bracket is flat. I tried to photo this as best as possible. If you really want I can take this out and can reinstall the Zip drive too, however that is a major downgrade and I would not recommend it. That, however, is your call and I am happy to oblige. ” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay
