{"product_id":"clarus","title":"CLARUS","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe CLARUS is Astell\u0026amp;Kern’s fourth flagship in-ear monitor, representing the absolute pinnacle of high-fidelity portable sound. Built on a simple, uncompromising belief—that music should be experienced exactly as the artist intended—the CLARUS combines three distinct driver technologies and a precision-engineered chassis into one seamlessly coherent acoustic framework. Tuned on Astell\u0026amp;Kern reference systems and voiced alongside flagship digital audio players like the SP4000T, these earphones deliver a spacious, breathtakingly natural soundstage as clear and brilliant as starlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGroundbreaking 9-Driver Tribrid Setup \u0026amp; Six-Way Crossover\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the CLARUS lies a precisely harmonised nine-driver tribrid architecture. A custom-developed 9mm dynamic driver operates between 20Hz and 200Hz to deliver physical sub-bass weight, extension, and natural texture, while a dual Sonion balanced armature array handles upper bass and lower mids (80Hz to 500Hz) for rapid articulation and definition. Core midrange, vocals, and presence are textured by a dedicated three-driver balanced armature array (500Hz to 7kHz), maintaining natural vocal placement and clean instrumental separation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo bridge the high frequencies, two high-frequency balanced armatures join forces with a top-firing silicon MEMS tweeter (7kHz to 20kHz). This entire array is masterfully integrated by a proprietary six-way crossover network that manages the phase, pressure, and acoustic paths of each driver group. The result is a system that behaves as a single unified voice rather than separate parts, presenting impeccable tonal coherence and fluid dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial-Design Engineering \u0026amp; Organic Ergonomics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe striking look of the CLARUS reflects the disciplined acoustic design within. Every contour, cavity, and plane serves a structural purpose. The shell is CNC-machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and natural resonance dampening. The main body features an organic, ergonomic shape sculpted to rest comfortably and securely inside the ear canal for passive noise isolation. The shell seamlessly transitions into a gorgeous, multi-faceted faceplate with the signature Astell\u0026amp;Kern insignia, where precision-cut planes catch and reflect light in beautiful patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVetted Partnership Components: Effect Audio \u0026amp; AZLA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo complete the flagship experience, Astell\u0026amp;Kern partnered with the world's leading accessory specialists. The CLARUS comes paired with a custom-spec Effect Audio Ares S Lite premium cable. Combining UP-OCC pure copper Litz conductors and a 24 AWG four-wire dual geometric design with standard 0.78mm 2-pin connectors, this cable offers low-impedance signal transfer for unmatched sonic clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the ultimate fit, the packaging contains six distinct sizes of AZLA SednaEarfit SE2000 ear tips. Moulded from premium medical-grade KCC silicone, they provide a secure and comfortable seal that maximises isolation and focuses high-frequency performance directly into the ear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Astell\u0026Kern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62890544562506,"sku":"AKE13","price":2999.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/2775\/8666\/files\/CLARUS_01.jpg?v=1786006247","url":"https:\/\/astellnkern.co.uk\/products\/clarus","provider":"Astell\u0026Kern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
