Challenging Everything

We’ve been redefining the boundaries of digital audio for over three decades, pioneering high-resolution recording and playback technologies at the same time as developing a succession of ground-breaking products for music lovers and world-renowned studios.

To remain at the forefront of audio innovation for such a sustained period of time requires fearless engineering, a commitment to excellence and a deep-rooted passion for our craft, along with world-class talent in software, electronics engineering and mechanical design. 

Performance-led innovation is the foundation of our design philosophy. Using our deep expertise and insight, we craft music systems that provide the most revealing and emotionally communicative music playback experience available.

Our obsessive quest to advance the standard of digital audio never ends, and our desire to continuously improve our products and technologies means our customers are on a musical journey with us.

With each system we create, we continue to reimagine what’s possible in music playback - developing world-leading innovations that defy the limits of audio engineering and bring people closer to the sounds and artists they love.
