Classic Recording Studio Equipment

Akai could have gone down the path of trying to compete in the lower end of the multi-effects market with the likes of Alesis, but instead aimed to produce a high quality dedicated reverb, with the Akai AR900 being the end result.
Akai Professional Products released their Akai AR900 Digital Reverb along side the PEQ6 Programmable Equalizer with similar commercial acceptance. The Akai PEQ6 was targeted more towards the keyboard player rather than studios, and with it’s MIDI implementation is was perfect for that purpose too.
