PAiA 4720

Almost nothing is documented about the PAiA 4720. The Archive's sources hold no description, no specifications, no dates, and no review of this exact model. There is not even a period listing that names it. It is filed here as a synth, and the designation points toward PAiA's 4700-series modular family, but that placement is an inference from the model number and from what the surrounding record does show.

That record consists of classified ads in Polyphony. A listing in Polyphony (November 1980, p.33) offered a P-4700/J at $600, described by the seller as new, factory-tested, tuned, and aligned. The same page carried a want-list from an 8700/4700 owner seeking others with similar gear. A July 1976 listing (p.43) offered a complete PAiA 2720/A system together with 4710, 4770, and 4780 modules for $220. Most worked and a few needed minor repair. So the 4700 series was clearly in circulation among Polyphony readers, but no ad or article in the available record ever mentions a 4720.

If you own a 4720, have its manual, or have a period PAiA catalog page showing it, the Archive would like to hear from you.
