AKAI MG-614 (1987)

AKAI MG614

This thing is a classic - one of the best 4 track multitrack recorders ever built. Sounds great and is fully functional. I’ve used it quite a bit in the last year and every feature I’ve tried has worked. Pots and faders are a bit scratchy but seems like it’s in great shape considering it’s age. Sold as is. Comes with the original power cable and operators manual. You don’t see many of these for sale - very rare and super cool. The red light on track three is powered on constantly but it doesn't effect the channel at all, and the track four panning switch is missing, although that can still be adjusted by pinching the metal part.

“The MG614 is a 6 channel mixer combined in a compact design with a 4 track/multi track recorder using compact cassette tapes.”

“The system has built-in computer assisted signal patching and routing for flexible monitoring, track bouncing and mixdown. There's an auto-locate facility with search, repeat, play and record functions for fast and accurate drop-ins and a unique 'fifth' track for sync code operation where a sequencer or drum machine needs to be used in sync with other material on the audio tracks.

On the audio side, the cassette will run at normal or double speed with dbx Type I noise reduction being used to keep the signal quality high. The six input channels offer two-band parametric EQ and two effects sends, each with a stereo return.”
