Akai S2800 with 16MB RAM, Internal Floppy Emulator

by

“This rackmount sampler is the budget version of the S3000 (non XL) although this unit is pretty much maxxed out.
The full 16MB Ram is installed (2x8mb proprietary RAM boards) and this unit has the SCSI Breakout card and FX.

Has the latest v2.00 OS installed on internal EPROMS.

These samplers are quite sought after now as they have the same A/D converters found in the legendary MPC3000 workstations.

It has recently had a LED backlight upgrade so no more inverter whine or burning out EL Foils. The display is crisp and bright and easy to read.

Condition is pretty good and everything on this unit is fully working, only thing of note is the top cover is a little discoloured / weathered, and one
of the rackmount ears (bottom left) is slightly bent, but this will most likely go back to correct shape after being racked. (see pics)
The Dataknob has a scuff on it and the front white buttons have yellowed slightly.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“USED AKAI professional S2800 Sampler – A great deal in the right hands.

Vintage AKAI sampling equipment still holds its own and this could be a great addition for any serious musicians or sound engineers that prefer hardware solutions.

This AKAI S2800 was inherited and hasn’t been used for many years. There is slight cosmetic wear in the form of scratches on the top of the equipment, as well as writing on the plug – however, on the whole the item is in good condition. The item is only tested to the point of turning on due to my own lack of ability and time, so please buy with this in mind. However, I have no reason to suspect it isn’t functional. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay
