Description

The Akai 4000DS MKll is a four-track, two-channel stereo reel to reel tape recorder for use with 7" reels.

The employment of a highly efficient induction motor and boldly designed flywheel in the 4000DS Mkll results in stable tape travel and reduced wow and flutter.

This feature coupled with a three head system including Akai's one-micron gap playback head assures clear playback sound. Akai 4000DS MK-ll machines were manufactured circa 1976-1978 and they recorded and played back giving excellent results (due to the 1 micron gap heads). The MKll models were the successor to the 4000DS (circa 1972-1976).
