IT TOOK THE BEST HEADS IN THE INDUSTRY TO MAKE AKAI'S NEWEST PROFESSIONAL DECK.

For years, AKAI's patented glass and crystal (GX) heads have been making recorded history. Not only for unsurpassed sound quality, but for unequalled wearability as well. Guaranteed, in fact, for 150,000 hours; the equivalent of playing 24 hours a day for almost 17 1/2 years.
Now AKAI puts its heads together in one dynamite machine: the PRO-1000. The four-head, 2-track mastering machine that's as much at home on location as it is in the studio.
See the PRO-1000 at your AKAI dealer or write us for information.
But do it soon. Because it's already turning the heads of a lot of people.
