Astell&Kern AK Cradle

Astell&Kern AK Cradle  is a beautifully designed docking station for the latest Astell&Kern Digital Audio Players, it offers high-performance practicality and great build-quality.

When paired with the AK Cradle, the Astell&Kern SP4000 and PD10 transform into the ultimate music source – delivering uncompromised performance at home. With Roon Ready and Qobuz Connect certification, plus open-Android support for downloading your favourite streaming apps, you gain limitless access to high-resolution music for your 2-channel home system.

High-Resolution Home Audio Connectivity

The XLR balanced outputs on the back of the cradle allows connection to a two-channel home audio system or directly to powered speakers.  By connecting the DAP to speakers or amplifiers via the XLR output, you can enjoy the full high-resolution sound directly through your home audio system.

Bit-Rate LED Indicator for Real-Time Audio Feedback

The Astell&Kern “A” logo on the front of the cradle contains an LED that changes colour based on the bit-rate of the track currently playing, so you can always know the quality of the music as you listen.

Design That Completes the Experience

As with all Astell&Kern products, the AK Cradle balances design and sound in perfect harmony. Inspired by the circle – a symbol of completeness and expansion – it provides stable support for various players while seamlessly blending into any space.

Its sculptural form and 50° tilt ensure comfort and style, while the front-facing illuminated “A” logo reflects Astell&Kern’s identity and audio information in real time. Crafted from premium extruded aluminium, the AK Cradle is both elegant and functional – a true centre-piece for your home audio setup.
