The S700/X7000 sampler series were light-grey colored, which didn't change throughout the whole 'professional' range of Akai samplers. Unlike the single-sample S612, however, they allowed the use of six active samples at once, had a built-in disk drive and could be extended with six individual outputs via cable and a flash memory extension which added another six samples to the memory for multisample playback. The introduction of a 'professional' range of digital samplers began with the 12-bit S900 in 1986, followed by the X7000 keyboard sampler in 1986, and the S700 rack-mount version in 1987. The MG-1212 was later replaced by the MG-1214, which improved the transport mechanism and overall performance. The unique transport design and noise reduction gave these units a recording quality rivaling that of more expensive 16 track machines using 1' tape.

The unit also had innovations like an electronic 2 bus system, a 12 stereo channel patch bay and auto punch in and out, among others. Each channel strip included dbx type-1 noise reduction and semi-parametric equalizers (with fixed bandwidths). One track (14) was permanently dedicated to recording absolute time, and another one for synchronization such as SMPTE or MTC. This innovative device used a special VHS-like cartridge (a MK-20), and was good for 10 minutes of continuous 12 track recording (19В cm per second) or 20 minutes at half speed (9.5В cm per second). The first product released by the new subsidiary was the MG1212, a 12 channel, 12 track recorder.

Within a few years, all competing manufacturers had adopted on-screen display technology in their own products.ДЄkai's portable studio, Akai MG-1214 unit By displaying the information directly on the television screen, this innovation eliminated the need for the user to be physically near the VCR to program recording, read the tape counter, or perform other common features. The Akai VS-2 was the first VCR with an on-screen display, originally named the Interactive Monitor System. Introduction of the on-screen display ДЄkai produced consumer video cassette recorders (VCR) during the 1980s. Tensai International was Akai's exclusive distributor for the Swiss and Western European markets until 1988.ДЄkai limited its consumer hi-fi product line in the United States and Europe towards the end of the 20th century. The company's most popular products were the GX-630D, GX-635D, GX-747/GX-747DBX and GX-77 open-reel recorders (latter featuring an auto-loading function), the three-head, closed-loop GX-F95, GX-90, GX-F91, GX-R99 cassette decks, and the AM-U61, AM-U7 and AM-93 stereo amplifiers.ДЄkai manufactured and badged most of its imported hi-fi products with the Tensai brand (named after the Swiss audio and electronics distributor Tensai International ). During the late 1960s, Akai adopted Tandberg's cross-field recording technologies (using an extra tape head) to enhance high frequency recording and switched to the increasingly reliable Glass and crystal (X'tal) (GX) ferrite heads a few years later. Many Akai products were sold under the name Roberts in the US, as well as A&D in Japan (from 1987 after a partnership with Mitsubishi Electric), Tensai and Transonic Strato in Western Europe. In a separate lawsuit, a former E&Y partner, Christopher Ho, made a 'substantial payment' to Akai creditors in his role as chairman of Grande Holdings. Ting was imprisoned for false accounting in 2005, and E&Y paid $200m to settle the negligence case out of court in September 2009. The liquidators claimed that Ting had stolen over US$800m from the company with the assistance of accountants Ernst & Young who had tampered with audit documents going back to 1994. It emerged that ownership of Akai Holdings had somehow passed in 1999 to Grande Holdings, a company founded by Akai's chairman James Ting. The company filed for insolvency in November 2000, owing creditors US$1.1B. At its peak in the late 1990s, Akai Holdings employed 100,000 workers and had annual sales of HK$40 billion (US$5.2 billion).

The company's business eventually became troubled and it left the audio industry in 1991. ( иµ¤дє•й›»ж©џж ЄејЏдјљз¤ѕ, Akai Denki Kabushiki Kaisha), a Japanese manufacturer in 1929 or 1946.
