For sale is my Akai S3000i, in great overall condition and fully working throughout. This is a classic 16-bit rack sampler from Akai’s legendary S-series, known for its clean sound, solid build quality, and deep sampling capabilities that still hold up in modern production setups.

The unit is fully functional and has been well looked after. All buttons, controls, inputs and outputs operate as they should, making it a reliable addition to any studio setup, whether for sampling, sound design, or integrating vintage character into modern productions.

The only thing to note is that the LCD backlight is dim and could benefit from a replacement. The display is still readable, but a new backlight would restore full clarity and brightness. This is a common and well-documented maintenance point on these units and is reflected in the pricing.

Features:

• Great overall cosmetic and working condition
• Fully functional Akai S3000i sampler
• All controls and I/O working as expected
• Classic 16-bit Akai sound and workflow
• LCD backlight dim (may require replacement)

A highly respected piece of hardware from Akai’s golden era of sampling, ideal for producers who want that authentic hardware workflow and sonic character.

The sale includes the unit and its power cable.

If the original box is available, it will be used for shipping. If not, the sampler will be securely and professionally packed to ensure safe delivery.

Feel free to message me with any questions or for additional photos. Happy to help.
