Astell&Kern Clarus

Description

Astell&Kern Clarus

The Astell&Kern Clarus is an audiophile IEM from Astell&Kern, it uses 9 drivers in a tribrid configuration and is built to the same exacting standards of all AK products.

Clarus is the fourth model in Astell&Kern’s IEM series, defined by an unwavering pursuit of sound faithful to the original. Delivering music exactly as the artist intended — transparent and free from distortion. It is a philosophy the brand has consistently upheld, and one that Clarus carries forward.

Designed around a 9-driver Tribrid architecture, Clarus allows each driver to perform at its best within its dedicated range. A dynamic driver delivers the natural weight and depth of the low frequencies, a precisely arranged array of Balanced Armature (BA) drivers reproduces the detail and resolution of the mids and highs, and the latest MEMS drivers render even the most delicate upper frequencies with exceptional precision.

True to its name, Clarus is an answer to clarity. From the deepest bass to the most subtle highs, it reveals the natural detail and sense of space that lives within the music itself.
