Astell&Kern AK-PA10

The Astell&Kern AK PA10 is the companys first Class-A portable amplifier. Take control of your headphones whether youre at home or on the go with the same true high-fidelity wherever you are. The PA10 features both 4.4mm full balanced inputs and outputs as well as 3.5mm unbalanced so you can connect in a way that suits you. Thanks to their propriet... moreary TERATON ALPHA Ultimate Sound Solution Astell&Kern have achieved audio that is closer than ever to the original source. The PA10 also features reduced power consumption Crossfeed channel mode and gain and current control which will let you pair with the IEMs or over-ear headphones of your choice.

Class A amplifiers have superior linear output and amplify signals with less distortion and defects, providing a softer, warmer, more natural sound. This amplification method consumes a lot of power and is extremely difficult to design for portable audio equipment, but Astell&Kern's superior circuit design technology reduces power consumption and improves output while eliminating noise. Can be played continuously for about 12 hours. ■Class-A current control with 3-stage settings The current of class A amplifiers can be controlled with 3-stage settings. Emphasizes the characteristics of a class A amplifier with respect to current value, creating a more powerful sound. Additionally, concerns about wear and tear due to high power consumption are addressed by controlling the current value. Three-stage current control allows you to change the detail and density of the sound to match the characteristics of the headphones or IEM. ■Gain control that supports high output of up to 6.2Vrms Equipped with a 2-step gain control that changes the output, and when connected to the balanced output, supports high output of up to 6.2Vrms at high gain. Maximize the potential of connected headphones and earphones. ■True-balanced input/output that physically separates unbalanced and balanced The 4.4mm 5-pole true-balanced input/output, which is rare for a portable Class-A analog amplifier, enables high output and clear sound reproduction. It also supports 3.5mm 3-pole unbalanced input/output, so it can be used in combination with more devices. In order to amplify and output the sound source without causing maximum deterioration, the true output is only 3.5mm output when inputting 3.5mm, and only 4.4mm output when inputting 4.4mm. ■Hardware crossfeed
