With its upcoming amplifier, AMP-44R, Enleum has now been awarded the most prestigious of design awards, the “Red Dot: Best of the Best 2025”. This award is given for groundbreaking design and is the highest award in the competition, reserved only for “the best of the best” products in a category.

This places Enleum not only at the absolute pinnacle of global product design, but having also been awarded the iF Design Award for the AMP-44R, Enleum has now become the most design-awarded high-end audio brand in the world, including previously the AMP-23R’s “iF Design Gold Award 2022” and the AMP-54R’s “Red Dot: Best of the Best 2023” amongst others.

”With the AMP-44R, Enleum has once again managed to balance form with function in a highly sophisticated way,” the Red Dot jury concluded. “What is particularly impressive is how naturally and consistently modern precision production and artisanal highlights meld.”

Enleum founder and chief designer, Soo In Chae, was personally present at the Red Dot Gala 2025 on July 8, 2025, to receive the award, as seen in the video below.

ABOUT THE ENLEUM AMP-44R

The AMP-44R is designed for audiophiles and design enthusiasts who seek a no-compromise experience, showcasing our commitment to both performance and elegance. Enleum’s signature design philosophy is taken further in an ultra-sleek, compact form, featuring an industry-leading slim design that conveys a heightened sense of floating. This effect is further enhanced by the “floating” light display, creating a seamless user experience.

The AMP-44R embodies a minimalist, function-driven design. Each side of the precisely CNC-machined aluminum chassis features intricate details with a premium fit and finish. A control knob, hand-finished by a renowned Korean traditional lacquer artisan, adds an extra touch of craftsmanship, providing a soft touch in contrast to metallic finishes. The case is efficiently designed with no visible assembly screws, and its bottom has precision-machined cut-outs that dissipate heat from internal components. These cut-outs also accommodate the tallest elements—protruding capacitors—enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.

The AMP-44R is one of the most efficient and compact amplifiers on the market, crafted for discerning listeners who seek the best possible listening experience, as it inherits the latest R&D advancements from its flagship AMP-54R, into a smaller package at 70 watts (High Voltage mode) or 35 watts (High Current mode), while adding Enleum’s renowned headphone amplifier circuit, derived from its AMP-23R and HPA-23RM. Its final specifications are to be revealed in Q4, 2025 for production release in early 2026.
