Audio Technica

Inspired by the emotional impact of vinyl listening sessions at Tokyo's Bridgestone Museum of Arts, Hideo Matsushita  established Audio-Technica in a modest Shinjuku apartment. Beginning with cartridges like the AT-1 and AT-3, his  success led to the expansion of the business to a larger headquarters in Machida, where the company operates today.  

Central to their ethos is the relentless pursuit of natural sound. Employing analogue transducer technology, they craft  products that heighten sensory experiences and strive for authentic audio reproduction. This pursuit is ongoing and  fuels their innovation.
