Phonon (phonon inc.) is a new audio brand from Japan, created when 3 top
professional veteran audiophiles joined with Isao Kumano, a highly
respected sound and mastering engineer, Alex Prat aka DJ Alex from
Tokyo, Kumano's partner in the music production team Tokyo Black Star,
and Yusuke Uchiyama aka no milk, a producer and audio technician.
After decades of research, dedication and high-level experience in the audio
field and industry, our 3 audiophiles (one of them a former executive at
the Japanese company TEAC) looking for better sound delivery, invented, developed and produced a
revolutionary high end audio device based on an innovative new
technology, concept and theory: the "PHD".
The PHD is our main invention and technology at phonon.
The starting point of our idea behind phonon is to accurately deliver the musician's true sound.
Through the phd device, the original soundwave is not effected or altered. As a
result, it delivers "a never experienced before" honest reproduction of
the original sound.
How does it work?
The PHD is a small, very sensitive vibrating metal device that connects to
the + and - of your speakers (for pre-amplified speakers, you will have
to open your speakers to connect it).
The PHD vibrates in harmony with soundwaves coming from your speakers,
simultaneously transmitting ultrasound waves that compensate for the
delay in transmission of some frequencies, causing all the frequencies
to align. The original musical waveforms are replicated without changing
the characteristics of the speakers.
The PHD enhances your perception and sense of hearing, making you feel and
experience the "real sound" of the original waveform. Result: a more
precise and detailed soundscope.
The PHD concept comes from the unique notion of compensating for the waveforms that speakers cannot replicate.
It is a sophisticated subtle "high end" audio instrument. For most
effective use we recommend using it in a good sound set up and
environment. The better your set up, the better the effect!
We offer 3 different PHD lines according to your audio needs: The Black Star edition, (the high-end audio line), the Standard edition, (the mid-end audio and studio line), and the PA line (for big venues, clubs, theaters etc).
We have also applied the innovative phd technology to our 1st monitor headphone the SMB-02 Subtonic Monitor Basic Headphone to be released in February 2011, and the NTC Rack.
We also recommend the PHONON liquid, a revolutionary contact cleaner and electrical junction restructuring fluid. Simply apply PHONON liquid
to the end of your cables, connections and jacks, to enhance electrical
conductivity resulting in a better sound in your audio set up or image
in your video set up.
Our mission at phonon is to truly convey music's imagination.
