Description
Astell&Kern SE300 Titan
The Astell&Kern SE300 Titan is a world first Class A analogue output digital audio player.
The Future of Analogue Sound, Astell&Kern SE300 Titan
Constructed using a Grade 5 Titanium alloy for the first time, the player boasts increased corrosive resistance and strength while retaining its light weight and reducing interference to deliver the highest level of sound quality.
A&futura from Astell&Kern is a product line that represents Astell&Kern’s ceaseless efforts for innovation. SE300, the fourth model in the A&futura range is a premium digital audio player that inherits this identity and expands the scope of sound with an entirely new implemented technology.
A&futura SE300 is equipped with an ultra-refined R-2R DAC, Class A/AB dual amps born with our proprietary TERATON ALPHA technology, and for the first time a self-developed FPGA optimised technology. With these unrivalled components, it offers the true sound philosophy and technology of Astell&Kern.
Immerse yourself into the true analogue sound that the SE300 produces with Class-A AMP and R-2R DAC technologies, for the first time in an Astell&Kern player.
DESIGN
The design concept for the A&futura SE300 is ‘Stream’
Like small ripples on water turning into crashing waves, we designed the SE300 with Class A AMP, the ultimate AMP form, to have a unique identity.
The main body made from aluminum has streamlined surfaces that represent the flow of music. Through this, we create a firm yet flexible image. We added intensity by using contrasting materials such as stainless steel and glass to further enhance the theme of ‘Stream’. In addition to this, the bottom section of the device curves outward, allowing for a more ergonomic grip whilst using the player.
The right side of the SE300 is coated with stainless steel to enhance visual focus. The polished side and triangular-patterned volume wheel are key to creating powerful and visually striking contrasts. The straight pattern on the rear of the volume wheel elevates the visual density and allows users to control volume and visually check the changes. The wheel lighting is placed behind the volume wheel to avoid direct exposure whilst allowing the light to be reflected on the side decorations and volume wheel knurl, creating the effect of light bursting from the inside.
The rear glass also features a new etching pattern, continuing the concept of ‘Stream’ The basic pattern features the A logo of Astell&Kern, designed to present an overall flow of stream with differences in size. This etching pattern amplifies the sense of flow with the differences in inclinations, adding a sense of depth to the rectangular rear glass that may otherwise look dull.
