Description from the seller


Iconic Akai amplifier with the nice lit VU meters.
All functions tested, sounds very good, p
Power output: 20 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo) (30W @ 4 Ohms)

Including rare 19" rack handles. They can be removed.

The Akai AM-U01 is a classic vintage stereo integrated amplifier, produced by the Japanese electronics brand Akai between 1980 and 1981. The model is known for its minimalist, sleek aluminum front panel and the characteristic fluorescent or VU-style meters positioned in the center. It is a compact, entry-level amplifier that, at the time, was frequently included as part of the Akai PRO 501 'Music Tower' hi-fi systems.
