Gold or New

It has 2 x XLR-1/4" combo jacks (with 48 volt phantom power switch on the top below the gain knobs), 2 x 1/4" jacks, and 1 x stereo RCA (phono/line).

Do not connect line-level audio sources to RCA. They're only intended for phono input.

2 - XLR/1/4 Combo Jack
2 -1/4 for Line Input
2 - RCA for Phono (Only)

Thanks again , enjoyed reading it all , and Charles R and Enoch L , Thanks

No worries - glad to have helped! But Charlie is wrong as usual. You can connect line-level to the RCA jacks just fine. There's a switch on the back that allows you to turn line level on instead of a phono input.

Charlie: do you even own a current MPC these days??

OMG l said the exact thing. If Akai would of put HDMI on the new MPC l would of bought into just for that. I even put up the pic of the MV8800 to show the rear. And be mouse compliant!

I had plans but unfortunately Akai didn't come through so l got off that ship. My new MPC is my PC l have HDMI now

This, I would upgrade in a heartbeat. I have a mv8800 and tbh I kinda hoped akai would take some features from that 14 year old machine.

OMG IM IN TEARS!

No problem, if you have issues pick up the MPC BIBLE and read the manual.

PAGE 16 or 18 of MPC X manual. Depending on which version you look at.

8.Phono/Line Switch: Set this switch to the appropriate position, depending on which Input 3/4 connectors you want to use. If you are using the 1/4” (6.35 mm) inputs, set this switch to Line. If you are using the RCA inputs, set this switch to Phono to provide the additional amplification needed for phono-level signals.

How many inputs and outputs are on the MPC X?

The MPC X features 8 balanced TRS outputs and 4 combo inputs. Inputs 1 and 2 will support mic and line levels (+48v phantom power available) and inputs 3/4 will support phono (RCA) and line level (1/4" TRS) inputs. Important: The RCA inputs are intended only for phono-level audio. Please be sure not to connect line-level audio sources to this input.

They did briefly - it was a limited edition:

That said, gold paint is LAME. I want 100% real gold leaf. 24 karat. Go big or go home.

Well look at that. I’m glad I didn’t know cuz that shit looks ugly AF

Oh it's much worse in person...

But so shiny!

If you plug something into the Phono input and leave the switch set to Line, the phono level amp stays off and you can use the RCA inputs as line-level.

Yes?
