The AK300 is the embodiment of purity & timelessness of music. Its design was inspired by the flagship AK380 music player continuing the "light & shadow" motif found in the entire Astell & Kern product line. The AK240 captured a moment in time at which light had ceased to move while the AK380 expressed the perpetuity of moving light. Now the AK300 represents the purity of a shadow as it reflects no light. The essence of a shadow without being split by light was captured in a restrained yet immaculate shape & this exemplifies the purity of the original studio sound that only Astell & Kern can deliver.
