The concept seems so obvious. Combine a digital recorder with editing capabilities and a digital mixer in one convenient box. Draw the curtain back to reveal CD-R production capability, the ability to use low cost high capacity IDE drives along with a recorder that doesn't employ data compression and you will find the DPS12i.

So what's different? Since it's founding in 1983 Akai Professional has consistently pushed the boundaries of affordable recording technology. The DPS12i is no different from its predecessors in its ability to capture exactly what you intended during the recording process.
