Sporting Astell&Kern’s recognisable signature angled design, influenced by the reflective interplay of shadow and light, the ACRO BE100 makes a striking design statement that can seamlessly fit into any living space.

Right to the Music, ACRO BE100
The Astell&Kern ACRO BE100 is a Bluetooth speaker that provides Hi-Fi sound quality with wireless freedom.
The light and shadow identity of the world's number one portable Hi-Fi brand Astell&Kern has been incorporated into the ACRO BE100.
Specifically, the speaker is equipped with a 32-bit Hi-Fi digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to satisfy any audiophile and music enthusiast. It has a custom made woofer and tweeter, as well as a compact Class-D AMP that controls each frequency range independently, meaning it provides a superior level of sound quality compared to other common Bluetooth speakers.
Supporting both aptX™-HD and LDAC codecs to transmit high-quality sound wirelessly at 55W output power, filling your room with rich sound has never been easier.
Stereo Sound through Exquisitely Customized 4" Kevlar Woofer and 1.5" Silk Dome Tweeter
The BE100 uses an exquisitely customized special speaker unit to produce Hi-Fi sound.
The 4" woofer, which provides the Bass
Impeccable sound engineering with carefully selected and rigorously tested Hi-Fi parts.
Two silk dome tweeters
The two silk dome tweeters produce crystal clear Treble.
We've worked tirelessly to find the ideal location for the woofer and tweeters to deliver stereo sound rather than mono sound, meaning the BE100 produces authentic stereo sound.
Story of Light, Shadow, and Edge
Metal, wood and premium PU leather are assembled seamlessly, the materials and colors are combined beautifully to create the identity of light and shadow, the symbol of Astell&Kern.
The body, emphasizes durability and sets it apart as a beautiful object, giving it a strong presence in any space. The edge of the speaker's grille mesh, which attracts the user's attention the most, is designed to symbolize Astell&Kern's identity, adding a formative characteristic to the box-shaped speaker.
The form factor and volume knob on top, which are our core design elements, are made of aluminum with a knurling pattern applied, highlighting the beauty and refinement of the material as well as allowing accurate fine tuning of the volume, level by level, with a gentle touch. The area below the volume control illuminates and acts as an indicator, flashing different colors for each mode or volume level, helping users to easily identify the speaker status and control it intuitively.
Equipped with a 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC to provide a superior level of real Hi-Fi sound
Because we can't listen to music as a digital signal, digital music needs to be converted to analog signals before playback can be realized.
To do this, we must use a digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
However, most Bluetooth speakers do not come with a dedicated DAC, and only use the one embedded in the Bluetooth chip. As a result, there is a limit to how good the sound quality can be.
The BE100, on the other hand, uses a 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC, which is the part that converts digital signals to analog signals, along with a separate circuit to provide real high-quality Hi-Fi sound that is incomparable with other common Bluetooth speakers. Based on the technology and expertise we have developed with our portable Hi-Fi products, which are loved by audiophiles around the world, the BE100 provides a different level of real Hi-Fi sound without missing the authentic details of analog sound.
Fill the Space with Your Own Sound Style
Use the built in independent Treble and Bass controls to adjust and customize the sound to your own preference.
The World’s first Bluetooth speaker that supports both aptX™-HD and LDAC codecs
To play music wirelessly, the BE100 is equipped with the technology to receive Bluetooth 5.0 aptX™-HD and LDAC.
With a 3.5 mm AUX input
The speaker's great compatibility means it can be connected to various external devices such as mobile phones and portable music players.
