Astell&Kern Clarus Flagship Tribrid In-Ear Monitors

Hear Every Detail. Experience Every Emotion.

The Astell&Kern Clarus represents a new chapter in flagship in-ear monitor design, created for listeners who demand absolute transparency, exceptional resolution and a truly lifelike musical experience.

Developed from Astell&Kern’s long-standing philosophy of reproducing music exactly as it was recorded, the Clarus combines an advanced 9-driver Tribrid architecture, innovative Dual Conduction technology, premium materials and an exceptional cable designed in collaboration with Effect Audio.

The result is an in-ear monitor capable of revealing every nuance within a recording—from the deepest bass notes to the finest harmonic details—with remarkable clarity, precision and realism.

Whether paired with the flagship Astell&Kern SP4000T, the SP4000 or another high-end digital audio player, the Clarus is designed to deliver reference-quality portable audio without compromise.

Advanced 9-Driver Tribrid Architecture

At the heart of the Clarus is one of the most sophisticated driver configurations Astell&Kern has ever created.

Each frequency range is reproduced by the driver technology best suited to the task:

• 1 Dynamic Driver for powerful, natural bass
• 7 Sonion Balanced Armature Drivers for highly accurate mids and treble
• 1 Next-Generation MEMS Driver for ultra-high frequency extension

Rather than asking a single driver to reproduce the entire frequency spectrum, Clarus allows each driver to perform within its optimal range.

The result is exceptional separation, outstanding imaging and an effortless presentation that uncovers subtle details often hidden within familiar recordings.

Dual Conduction Technology

One of the defining technologies behind the Clarus is its Dual Conduction System.

By combining traditional air conduction with structural vibration through the housing itself, Clarus creates a greater sense of openness, realism and spatial presentation.

This approach produces a listening experience that feels more natural and immersive, allowing instruments and vocals to occupy a convincing three-dimensional space.

Instead of simply sounding detailed, the Clarus makes music feel alive.

Designed for Absolute Clarity

The name Clarus comes from the Latin word for “clear”, and that philosophy is evident throughout its tuning.

Bass is deep, controlled and textured rather than exaggerated.

Midrange is exceptionally transparent, allowing vocals, acoustic instruments and complex arrangements to breathe naturally.

Treble extends effortlessly without harshness, revealing ambience, micro-detail and the subtle harmonics that define truly high-resolution recordings.

The overall presentation is balanced, accurate and engaging—ideal for listeners who value musical honesty over artificial coloration.

Precision Engineering

Every component of the Clarus has been selected to maximise both performance and comfort.

The beautifully machined 6061-T6 aluminium shells combine lightweight construction with exceptional rigidity, helping reduce unwanted resonance while providing excellent long-term durability.

Their distinctive faceted design reflects Astell&Kern’s signature industrial styling while offering a secure and comfortable fit for extended listening sessions.

Premium Effect Audio Cable Included

Included with the Clarus is a premium UP-OCC cable developed in partnership with Effect Audio, one of the world’s most respected cable manufacturers.

Using Ultra Pure Ohno Continuous Cast copper, the cable is designed to preserve signal integrity while maintaining exceptional flexibility and comfort.

The result is outstanding conductivity, reduced signal loss and the ability to hear every detail your source equipment is capable of delivering.
