PHONON's mission is to truly convey music's imagination.

PHONON was born on the mission to "tell people accurate information about imagination of music". Using unique ideas and skills , distinguish products that don't even have category. This is not the improvement from old systems, it is a resolution from the baseline.

Musicians don't normally get to listen to the sound they really wanted to play.
The sound at live and CDs, those sounds are degraded in the process of recording.

PHONON's starting point comes from trying find the way musicians to hear their true sound.

By re-evaluating the "recording to playback" process from scratch and using unique ideas and technologies, we are now offering you new tools to precisely convey the artist's imagination.

 

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.
