The Future of Analogue Sound, SE300
A&futura from Astell&Kern is a product line that represents Astell&Kern’s ceaseless efforts for innovation.
The 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.
Innovative Materials Inspired by Astell&Kern’s craftsmanship
Constructed using Grade 5 Titanium alloy, the SE300 Titan Limited Edition is designed to increase both the internal corrosive resistance and strength inherent in pure titanium.
Titanium Grade 5, an alloy blend of aluminium and vanadium, embodies exceptional strength while retaining a light weight.
Recognised for its increased resistance to corrosion and absence of toxicity unlike aluminium, this alloy is the material of choice in aerospace, medical, and a wide range of other applications.
Its ability to withstand heat and electrical conductivity also positions it as an optimal substance for reducing temperature variations and electrical interference within R-2R DACs and analogue amplifiers.
Despite these numerous advantages, the material’s intricate processing is attributed to its formidable strength and limited thermal conductivity.
As a result, its integration into the product relies exclusively on the finesse of ultra-precision manufacturing methods. Astell&Kern approaches this by taking on the challenge:
The front cover, initially shaped with precision, undergoes meticulous processing with dedicated polishing equipment, while the side sections, adorned with wave-like patterns, are meticulously crafted to achieve a consistent surface texture.
This was perfected by a combination of 6-axis control robots and the skilled hands of engineers, resulting in a flawless surface.
The wheel and side keys, undergo meticulous refinement through a Swiss-made 5-axis vibration-free CNC machine, a technique often employed in crafting premium wristwatches.
The utilisation of an AF coating further ensures the enduring allure and tactile experience of the Titan Edition.
Discover the SE300 Titan Limited Edition and embrace the cutting-edge analogue sound experience from Astell&Kern right at your fingertips.
The limited edition package for the SE300 Titan includes a leather case.
