Akai 910-DB (1974)
Not much information survives on this model. The Akai 910-DB (listed in period advertising as the AA-910DB) was a stereo receiver that appeared in a coordinated print campaign in early 1974. Nearly everything we know comes from that one round of ads, which ran in several audio magazines at the same time.
Audio (February 1974, p.37) carried the ad, as did High Fidelity (February 1974, p.30) and HiFI/Stereo (February 1974, p.35). The copy positions the 910-DB as the affordable entry point in Akai's new receiver line. It gives 24 watts of continuous power per channel into 8 ohms, both channels driven - "enough for most needs" in the ad's own words. A built-in Dolby noise reduction circuit was included, along with tape monitor facilities for three decks, front-panel dubbing provisions, four VU meters, and an audio muting switch. The ad also mentioned separation controls, but no channel separation figure was quoted.
Outside this advertising, no independent test report, service manual, or specification sheet has surfaced. The receiver was part of the same campaign that promoted the AA-910DB alongside higher-powered siblings. No exact production run, original price, dimensions, or weight have been traced.
