Astell&Kern,the manufacturer of award-winning luxury portable audio players, has announced the SP3000M Copper Nickel edition following the immense reception of the player since launching last year.
Like the original and widely acclaimed SP3000, the SP3000M Copper Nickel combines cutting-edge audio technology and superior sound performance with the use of unique, luxurious materials, elevating the player and Astell&Kern’s offering to new heights.
More than a simple colour way, the innovative use of the copper nickel alloy in the design effectively captures and reproduces the authentic tone of musical instruments in playback. The cupronickel alloy — commonly used in the crafting of wind instruments for its rich tonal resonance — brings profound depth to the sound. Its silver-like luminosity often found in fine jewelry and crafts, adds a refined elegance to the SP3000M's design.
Thanks to the alloy’s superior corrosion resistance, the Cooper Nickel player boasts exceptional durability and antibacterial properties, while maintaining its sonic capabilities and unmatched precision in sound reproduction. This, on top of high electrical conductivity and low magnetism, ensures a well-shielded performance and distinct tonal richness.

- TERATON ALPHA Sound Solution, the essence of AK’s audio technology
