Akai S1000HD

“As you can see from the photos, the unit is in mostly pretty good order. Just a few scuffs here or there but otherwise cosmetically pretty fine. The backlight – like in most models of this kind – is now faint, but still quite visible when turned up to maximum contrast (see photo). A new backlight can be purchased for around £20-30 apparently.

As you can see from the photos – the front XLR inputs are a little corroded on the surface but I think this is purely cosmetic and they should work fine.

I will be completely honest here and say the unit did have some trouble years ago, when the hard drive failed to load up. This seems to have resolved itself now, but the drive is still a little noisy at times. Hopefully it still has a good bit of life in it!!” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay
