SP3000T:
The A&ultima SP3000T channels the profound emotion and lasting essence of analog audio. The integration of a real vacuum tube creates an authentic analog sound complemented by cutting-edge audio technology such as TERATON ALPHA for an immersive auditory experience.
Introducing the A&ultima SP3000T — a portable audio player that defies convention, offering a unique fusion of analog and digital excellence.
A&K has paired the SP3000T with the RAYTHEON JAN6418 miniature vacuum tube, a mini vacuum tube popular among audiophiles. Designed to meet military specifications and traditionally used in military communication gear, it quickly garnered recognition for its distinctively warm and soft sound, leading to its integration into regular audio devices.

A true Hi-Fi portable audio player with the best audio performance and equally sophisticated design, the SP3000M offers all of this in the palm of your hand.
The “M” in SP3000M represents the diverse features offered in the player.
- Mini: Smaller in size than SP3000
- Mobility: Even better portability
- Maximum: The product with the best audio performance
- Mania: A product for those with a passion for SP3000M’s vivid sound
- Mate: A companion with you anywhere and at any time
- Moment: Adding sentiment to life’s mundane moments
The design of SP3000M was inspired by a diamond ring’s jewel and its prongs. Like the dramatic melodies of music, A&K added tension to the alignment of the volume knob and protector.
Other design details include the cross patterns etched on the glass surface at the back. Reminiscent of the SP3000’s design, it also adds SP3000M’s unique concept of “Tension” in the two patterns meeting at the corners.
