Beyerdynamic x
Astell&kern
Beyerdynamic’s top-of-the line T1 model returns with a new and improved tesla driver and lowered ohm
impedance in collaboration with Astell&Kern. AK T1p provides distinguishing sound and mobile
flexibility in comparison with the AK T5p, the first collaboration closed back headphone between the
two companies but also beyerdynamic’s 600ohm open back T1 headphone. Users can experience
impressive, spacious sound, detachable cables and luxury grade surface finish with Astell&Kern’s
portable players.
An additional 2.5mm balanced cable for Astell&Kern portable audio devices is included with a 3.5 mm
audiophile grade cable. Just like all of beyerdynamic’s headphones, the AK T1p is handmade in
Germany with the greatest attention to detail.
About Beyerdynamic
Established 90 years ago, 1924, in Berlin, Germany by Eugen Beyer, Beyerdynamic is the essence of audio technology. Beyerdynamic is the leading audio equipment worthy of its name that has developed controller-mounted wireless conference system starting with the world’s first dynamic headphone--the DT 48, which is available even today. As the inheritor of the Eugen Beyer brand, Beyerdynamic maintains the leading corporate image, vision and role put in place by the founder. The technological advancements, continuous innovation and the world’s best quality have made Beyerdynamic the undisputed industry-standard and sound technology market leader.
TESLA TECHNOLOGY
The pinnacle of beyerdynamic’s premium class is called”Tesla”. The specially developed Tesla technology is a milestone in the beyerdnamic innovation history. With Tesla, named after the pioneer of the alternating current Nikola Tesla, expert describes the strength of magnetic field that has an impact on a current carrying conductor. For beyerdynamic Tesla means redesigned transducers which are distinguished by their very strong magnetic drive and transparent sound.

Mobile sound experience throughout your home
Until now, those who wished to enjoy the exceptional acoustics of the T 1 would relax in front of
their stereo system with a drink in hand. Despite the powerful Tesla transducers, the flagship from
Heilbronn still required an equally impressive hi-fi or headphone amplifier.
The new AK T1p is a different: Even portable devices, such as the high-resolution players from
Astell & Kern, allow it to demonstrate its full potential.
Thanks to the 32 ohm Tesla technology, the output of the AK T1p when paired with mobile players,
smartphones or tablets is significantly louder than the T 1 with its 600 ohm transducers. It thus
becomes a universal listening device – be it when chilling on the sofa, out on the terrace or even
in bed. Discerning audiophiles and digital natives are now able to carry their high-end systems with
them at all times.

Ideal for
high-resolution playback
With its open design, the AK T1p is particularly capable when it comes to reproducing the full
musical wealth offered by high-resolution audio files. Instruments and voices separate from the
headphones and create a virtual soundstage. No closed headphones can achieve such levels of
transparency and airiness.
Owners of one of Astell & Kern's high-end players can connect the AK T1p directly to the
symmetrical output of their portable device using the supplied cable with its 2.5 mm jack plug.
As a result, the lead has virtually no impact on the sound, thus allowing listeners to enjoy
studio masters with 24-bit resolution or high-res files in DSD format in their full, pure glory
– just as the sound engineer in the studio intended. It goes without saying that a standard 3.5
mm jack cable is supplied for all other players.
Perfection "Made in Germany"
Like all other premium headphones from beyerdynamic, the AK T1p is manufactured entirely by hand in Heilbronn. Featuring Tesla technology of the second generation, it will have audiophile listeners in raptures. Additional attenuation at the heart of the Tesla driver eliminates even the last traces of resonance in the high frequency range. Beyerdynamic has also optimised the geometry of the baffle design and replaced the single-layer baffle material with a more stable, high-tech compound. This reduces the vibration of the material to a minimum, which in turn delivers even clearer sound combined with ultra-precise bass.
