Too clunky/boxy to look good in my gearbag, but maybe OK for desktop use?!
The marketing babble call it a "portable solution", go figure... ::)
No MSRP yet.

The updated model AKAI EIE Pro was just announced at Summer NAMM.
6 VDC powering, so it's good for field use in theory at least! ;D
The dip switches and analog VU meters are vintage cool...
The previous EIE (non-pro) retails for $193, so I expect this to be a bit more.
