However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
Product Ref: 160942
Power is one thing. Being able to use it, is another. If it’s hidden behind vast menus, it’s not that useful. That’s why the MPC Live II has added five more hardware controls, because ultimately twisting a knob and feeling the immediate impact, is more intuitive way to create. The commitment to tactile, high-quality hardware can be seen all over the MPC Live II.
From the satisfying RGB back-lit pads to reactive touch-sensitive screen. Akai Professional want your gear to be a creative extension of you. That extends to the built-in monitor speakers. Which Akai Professional have taken a long time to get right, so they can give you an accurate representation of how your kick, snares, and samples will fit into your creation.
All this instantaneous feedback (you might say analog in its feel), is powered by the processor you’d find on the MPC X. Which is a powerful engine, one that means the MPC Live II will be going strong for years, update after update.
Most incredibly, all of that is wrapped up in a portable, premium body. It easily fits in a backpack.
It’s an unfortunate truth. The kit you already know how to use is immediately useful. Whereas kit that might be ‘more advanced’ on paper, is essentially an obstacle without the hours of practice. Which is why Akai Professional made the MPC Live II so gloriously versatile.
The types of connections available to you are vast. We’re not kidding, with MPC Live II you give you three stereo ¼-inch TRS outputs (6 mono), phono/line level inputs, USB, MIDI, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth – and most interestingly four TRS CV/Gate outputs.
That means, a whole world of modular gear can now be combined with he MPC Live II. So in a studio setting, you can arrive and make your own setup the lynchpin of production. Hugely capable tools you know and love, right there when you need them. Less hiccups, less manuals, more music.
That production potential is backed up by practicality too. A long lasting Lithium Ion battery to keep you going on the road. Compatibility with USB drives, SD cards, and external hard drives (including SSDs), in addition to 16GB of on-board storage, means you never have to be caught without the space you need.
The MPC Live II comes pre-loaded with MPC 2.8 software. Which gives you even more outstanding tools. For example, your MPC Live II will always be recording a buffer. So if you play something you like but have no idea what it was. You press one button and that great lead you just played? It’s saved. No one likes losing ideas, with the MPC Live II, you won’t.
You’ll also be able to use MIDI multi. Essentially letting you attach up to 32 MIDI devices using a USB hub (sold separately). Even better you can send all that MIDI information into Tracks so you can organise and layer up your sound, on the MPC Live II interface.
Should you have the gear and inclination, these updates make the MPC Live II akin to a transportable studio brain. Or in standalone mode, a supremely capable creative tool that you can take anywhere.
The TMA-2 are designed for a range of musicians. One of the world's first modular headphones, the TMA-2 is fully customisable. You can change everything from the earpads to the headband, to the earcups and even the cable.
The headphones are perfect for the modern-day digital musician. It allows you to easily switch between components to deliver a unique listening experience. For example, the DJ preset provides a combination of the H02 nylon headband and on-ear PU leather earpads. This results in high-isolation and powerful bass response, perfect for live DJ performances.
This preset is specially designed for DJs. The preset features the titanium-coated S02 speaker unit, providing powerful sound reproduction with a thumping bass. This ensures you can hear the low-end of your tracks while in loud environments such as nightclubs.
The E02 earpads provide high-end isolation, allowing you to focus on your mixes. The earpads are made from soft-on ear foam cushion with PU leather for maximum comfort.
The H02 is a reinforced injection-moulded headband. It also includes a durable compression moulded silicone headband providing maximum stability and grip. The headband is also easy to clean, ideal for long DJ sets. The gold-plates plug ensure optimal signal integrity and transference, whilst keeping your cables locked in place.
Using the highest-grade material ensures the best possible audio performance and maximum comfort. Each component is specially made using sustainable materials. The packaging has also been re-designed, now using only recycled materials, helping to reduce the CO2 footprint.
At the core of the headphones are the 40mm titanium-coated drivers. The driver provides high-end audio fidelity with a wide frequency range. It helps to minimise distortion for a clear and focused sound.
The drivers feature an internal vent, delivering a clear mid-range and a punchy low-end. It also provides a gradual dip for the high-end range, helping to prevent listening fatigue. The injected moulded ABS housing is highly durable, featuring a rubber coating to give it a matte-style look. The plugs feature a cable lock which helps to keep your cable secure at all times.
