List of products Astell&Kern

Astell&Kern offers high quality digital audio devices. Astell means "Stars" in Latin and Kern means "Center" in German. Astell&Kern defines itself as the center of music.

Today, interpretations of original music can be captured digitally almost exactly as they were performed using new recording technologies. However, these high-quality recordings are mostly listened to in lower quality sound formats, such as MP3 or via streaming services.
With the launch of the MP3 format, music lovers have sacrificed sound quality so they can take their music collection with them wherever they go. Since MP3 compresses files heavily for convenience, the voices and instruments you hear are only an inferior version of the original. The sound scene and ambience often disappear when listening to MP3 files.

Astell&Kern's aim is to provide a natural and faithful sound, without distortion. It enhances the presence of the original recording with minute details that you might not have noticed on other audio systems, while reproducing the music in high resolution, exactly as it was recorded.
