The Astell&Kern space located at Booth B12 in Hall 6 of the Shenzhen Convention Center was truly a 'hot place' with an endless stream of visitors throughout the event. Based on a black tone that highlights Astell&Kern's unique understated aesthetics, the entire booth created an overwhelming premium atmosphere with a large media wall featuring signature red color lines placed at the front. The dedicated listening stands, configured for optimal listening environments along with sensational videos flowing through the large screen, showcased the true dignity of a high-end audio brand. As soon as the event started, numerous local head-fi users, professional audio media, and influencers gathered, forming long queues to directly experience Astell&Kern's latest devices.
The undeniable stars of the Astell&Kern booth at this SIAS 2026 were the 'SP4000T Copper' and 'PD5', whose actual models were unveiled for the first time in mainland China.
• SP4000T Copper (First Actual Showcase): Showcased in its actual form for the first time in mainland China, the SP4000T Copper overwhelmed the front of the booth with the unique aura of its heavy, luxurious Copper body. To see the physical unit that integrates Astell&Kern's precise metal processing technology and unrivaled design aesthetics, countless visitors flocked with their cameras, further heightening expectations for its sound.
• PD5 (Listening & Experience): Unveiled alongside, the PD5 received a massive response as visitors could directly listen to it on-site. Not only did its refined design and three-dimensional, comfortable grip stand out, but the clear, dense tone delivered by Astell&Kern's precise acoustic technology also captivated the ears of listeners.
• CLARUS (IEM Listening & Response): We heavily featured 6 listening samples out of the 11 IEM products in the booth, ensuring even more visitors could experience them firsthand. CLARUS received continuous praise for its clean tone and wide spatial presentation, living up to its name, and drew a constant stream of visitors inquiring about prices and expressing intent to purchase right at the venue.
Visitors who came to the site carefully verified the sound quality by directly matching their own high-end In-Ear Monitors (IEMs) and headphones with Astell&Kern's main listening lineup, including the PD5. At the same time, the heat of audiophiles inquiring about the release schedule and detailed specifications while taking detailed display shots of the SP4000T Copper showcased in the display case was intense. Through this 3-day SIAS 2026, Astell&Kern once again proved its unrivaled status in the global high-end portable audio market, making it a successful event that provided new visual and auditory pleasure to local fans.
In the listening zone surrounding the booth, visitors could directly experience various flagship and popular lineups representing Astell&Kern, in addition to the new PD5. The A&ultima series and PD series provided diverse enjoyment to visitors with their distinct characteristics and high resolution.
The 'SIAS 2026', held for three days from August 14 to 16, was a meaningful occasion where a large number of personnel from Astell&Kern's Korean headquarters visited to directly listen to the vivid feedback of local users and communicate with them.
