1 pcs. AKAI Stereo rotary potentiometer 14mm with threadAKAI MPC-2500  -  MAster Volume, Q3, Q4AKAI MPC-5000Electrical properties:The stereo nominal resistance has 10 KOhm, the electric resistance gradient is linear. The potentiometer is construed for a power of 0,05 Watt.Appearance (technical characterisation):The casing measures 14 mm widht, the total length without pins is 20 mm. In this total length the casing is 7,5 mm long. On this casing is the thread with 5 mm length connected and out of the thread the axis rises with 7 mm lengt. The axis has a diameter of 6 mm and is flattened on a length of 7 mm. It is made of black plastic. Its head has a slot and ends in corner radius. The seven solder pins are 0,6 mm wide (one of them) and they are arranged in a distance of 2 mm (pitch). The curved pins, which are sticking out to the front, are necessary for the electrical function.In medium range of the casing the metallic snap in connector is mounted. These connector will fix the potentiometer at the printed circuit board by pressing in.Between the two snap in holdings the distance is 15,3 mm. The holders latch in the board and fix the potentiometer mechanically.Useful hint:The volume control is soldered on the circuit board. You should have mechanical skills and experience in soldering to replace it.Â

The MPC series from AKAI has enjoyed great popularity among professionals as well as hobby musicians and DJs for several decades. Not only in the hip-hop scene, but also among producers in the dance and techno sector and DJs, the MPC has established itself in its various versions.
The easy-to-learn operating concept and the robust construction contributed significantly to the success of the AKAI MPC series.
The 16 velocity-sensitive rubber keys typical of this type of device have now been adopted by numerous other manufacturers in their concepts. They enable a very simple mode of operation, which is now also used in some DAWs and software synthesizers.
Over the years, AKAI has released ten different MPCs. Most of them differ mainly in the possibility to connect extensions, such as hard disks, or to increase the size of the internal memory.
Starting with the MPC60, the class of devices still named "Midi Production Center" by the inventor Roger Linn, AKAI has expanded the range of this meanwhile renamed class of devices since 1988. The naming was by no means continuously ascending, but almost all MPCs have one thing in common: they bear a number to distinguish the respective version. Only since 2017 has AKAI also brought musical instruments of the MPC class onto the market that deviate from this rule. Also in 2017, AKAI also turned to the users of modular synthesizers with the MPC X, and equipped the MPC X with 8 outputs each for CV and GATE.
The popularity of the MPC 2000XL from 1999 remains unbroken, however, and it was offered in several different special models. By the way, the MPC 2000 MCD was the first to have an internal memory card reader instead of the floppy disk drive, which was already coming to an end at that time.
Errors and malfunctions with AKAI MPCs
Although the devices were built to a very high standard, certain signs of wear and tear could not be avoided.
For example, it is primarily the buttons for menu navigation that fail after a few years of use in the home studio, on stage or in the club. This is where the so-called "bouncing" occurs, i.e. the function is triggered several times after pressing a button, or the same function does not occur. Both types of behaviour cause annoying disruptions in the use of the musical instrument and can easily lead to frustration and loss of enjoyment.
But also the knobs and sliders give up after a few years, and produce, for example, an unpleasant scratching when using volume controls, or the well-known jumping between data values when using knobs and sliders.
The displays become illegible over time. This is due to the age of the MPC, because the LCD displays with built-in backlighting become dim over time, and/or the backlighting simply breaks down.
Repair instead of buying a new one
The repair or maintenance of the MPC can be done quite easily. Replacing the push-buttons can be done quickly in a specialist workshop, but the knobs and sliders can also be replaced to make your unit functional again.
The LCD display can also be replaced with a modern LED display to improve the value of your music device and thus its service life in the long term.
In our specialist workshop, we repair your equipment professionally and expertly using spare parts from our own extensive stock.
