Story of light, shadow and edge

Metal, wood and premium PU leather are seamlessly merged, the materials and colors are beautifully combined to create the identity of light and shadow, the symbol of Astell&Kern.

The body emphasizes durability and distinguishes it as a beautiful object, giving it a strong presence in any space. The rim of the speaker grille, which draws the most attention from the user, is designed to symbolize the identity of Astell&Kern and adds a shaping feature to the box-shaped speaker.

The front grille, meeting at one point, is very asymmetrical with a basic triangular shape, but Astell&Kern's unique sense of balance has been applied to the design to give it a heavy and stable look by creating areas of different sizes. where light is reflected or shadow lies. The interplay of light and shadow changes depending on the viewing angle and the location of the speaker, allowing you to visually appreciate the unique design of Astell&Kern. The ACRO BE100 loudspeaker completes the design of your living and working space based on our philosophy of delivering original audio experiences without compromise.

The form factor and volume knob on top, our key design elements, are made of aluminum with a knurling pattern that emphasizes the beauty and sophistication of the material and allows precise fine-tuning of the volume, level by level, with a soft touch. The area below the volume control lights up and acts as an indicator, flashing different colors for each mode or volume level, allowing users to easily identify speaker status and operate intuitively.

Equipped with a 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC for a superior level of true Hi-Fi sound

Since we cannot listen to music as a digital signal, digital music must be converted to analog signals before playback can be realized.
To do this, we need to use a digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
However, most Bluetooth speakers do not come with a dedicated DAC and only use the DAC built into the Bluetooth chip. As a result, there is a limit to how good the sound quality can be.

The BE100, on the other hand, uses a 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC, the component that converts digital signals into analog signals, along with a separate circuitry to deliver true, high-quality Hi-Fi sound that is incomparable to other regular Bluetooth speakers. Based on the technology and expertise we've developed with our portable hi-fi products, which are loved by audiophiles around the world, the BE100 offers another level of true hi-fi sound without missing the authentic details of analog sound.

Astell&Kern's Unparalleled Hi-Fi Audio Design Technology

If speaker amplifiers are not properly designed, they can produce clipping noises at maximum output. We've applied our proprietary AMP design technology to the BE100 to produce another level of true hi-fi sound without distortion, while comfortably reaching maximum speaker output power.
It creates a clear sound and prevents mixing of different frequency ranges by using a Digital Crossover. In addition, Dynamic Range Control (DRC) is used to protect the speaker unit at its maximum output power.
In addition, the Bluetooth chipset is equipped with a 50 ps clock and DAC to produce incredibly accurate sound to minimize jitter - the unwanted deviation in time of the transmitted signal.
