Announcing a new lineup of Insulator DARUMA SAN!

admin — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 05:38:58 +0000

We are pleased to announce the upcoming release of insulator DARUMA SAN.

The combination of a solid stainless steel ball and optimal curvature heightens the rolling support’s initial motion sensitivity, intercepting vibrations transmitted to the device. Vibrations emitted by the device eliminate feedback loops that affect the device itself.

By using DARUMA, can clear, realistic sound be effected and the soundstage spreads out, as does depth.

We’re please to announce the release of the new lineup of heaven Series -heaven VI.

We’ve taken some core concepts of our Heaven IV earphone, tweaked them and applied them to our new balanced armature earphone: the Heaven VI. We’ve changed the housing from stainless steel to chrome copper and taken our Balanced Air Movement (BAM) mechanism to a greater level of performance.
The result is the first balanced armature earphone that perfectly reproduces the sound of a human voice.

Announcing a new lineup of our long-awaited first headphone – MURAMASA Ⅷ

admin — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 05:19:01 +0000

We are pleased to announce the upcoming release of our long-awaited fist headphone MURAMASA Ⅷ. The name MURAMASA comes from a kind of ancient Japanese sword. Every part is made by NC machining using solid stainless steel. It features a 2-way driver, using a tweeter for high-frequency sound and a 40mm driver to reproduce full-range sound without the need of networked drivers. It’s huge, heavy, and very expensive for a portable device, but with our deep sound-making experience these characteristics became essential tools for achieving a higher level of performance. A totally new era of music experience has begun with MURAMASA Ⅷ.

With our special “BAM Mechanism” design, air movement inside the housing is optimized, allowing the BA-SS to produce deep bass without the distortion and muddiness normally reproduced by BA unit earphones. The design theory of this breakthrough earphone rests on a single driver directly connected to the circuit – uncomplicated by the presence of other drivers. The BA-SS is a handmade product, made by Japanese sound engineers with a full-focus on ideal sound with no compromises. This is our flagship model of the BA series and our premium model in the Balanced Armature category.
