AK PA10

The AK PA10 portable headphone amplifier follows the manufacturer’s design language, which is particularly evident in the bevelled edges of the octagonal aluminium body. These edges also ensure that the device lies comfortably and safely in the hand. The top of the volume wheel shows the current setting, while the side is used for changing the volume. This system prevents unintended wheel actuation and allows the user to visually check the output level while adjusting the volume. “The AK PA10 credibly communicates its positioning in the high-end range to the outside world,” the jury stated. “We are impressed by the precision with which the complex shapes of the aluminium body have been worked out.”
