The Akai GX-747 is the flagship open-reel tape deck from Akai’s celebrated GX series, combining cutting-edge engineering, advanced features, and iconic design. Built during the peak of reel-to-reel development, the GX-747 was aimed at demanding audiophiles and semi-professional users, offering both high-fidelity performance and exceptional convenience.
Equipped with Akai’s exclusive GX (Glass & Crystal Ferrite) heads, the machine ensures extremely long head life, superb stability, and consistent sonic performance. This unit is fully functional, making it a ready-to-use example of one of Akai’s most advanced recorders.
Key Features:
Format: 4-track, 1/4" stereo recorder with auto-reverse recording and playback.
Tape Speeds: 3.75 and 7.5 ips, suitable for high-quality home recording and extended playback.
Heads: Akai’s GX heads for ultra-long life, low wear, and high accuracy.
Transport: Dual-capstan, closed-loop tape transport system with precision motor control, ensuring stable tape handling and very low wow & flutter.
Electronics: Wide-bandwidth record/repro amplifiers delivering excellent frequency response, low distortion, and high signal-to-noise ratio.
Controls & Monitoring: Large illuminated VU meters, peak indicators, logic-controlled transport functions, and bias/EQ settings for precise recording.
Design: Distinctive front-loading, vertical format with motorized tension arms and symmetrical reel layout—an iconic Akai design that became a visual hallmark of the brand.
Build Quality: Solid construction, blending studio-level reliability with audiophile aesthetics.
Performance:
The Akai GX-747 is admired for its clean, dynamic, and detailed sound reproduction, combined with the reliability of its GX head system, which ensures decades of consistent performance without head wear issues. Its auto-reverse capability, dual-capstan transport, and striking design make it one of the most recognizable and desirable consumer/professional hybrid machines ever produced.
