Our Mission
At Haniwa, we believe the perfect audio system exactly and faithfully reproduces music. No coloration. No added bass. No softening. Music must have all the energy, smoothness, and creativity of the original performance—mimicking the artist in real time.
Faithful Reproduction
Output equals input—perfect fidelity
Flat Phase Response
Maintains crispness and timing
Real 3D Soundstage
Virtual point source delivery
Over 30 years, we've developed the world's only system that exactly matches the musician's performance. When people hear Haniwa, they instantly recognize it's very different—unlike any other stereo system. While some dismiss its unconventional look and compact size, live music enthusiasts appreciate the realism, beauty, and simplicity of our approach.
"The output equals the input—for both frequency and timing."
— Dr. Tetsuo Kubo, Haniwa Audio
What makes Haniwa exceptional is our flat phase response alongside flat frequency response. This preserves music's crispness and authenticity. Two measurements define how closely output equals input: step response and impulse response. Haniwa achieves optimal curves—in stark contrast to competitors.
Our innovation: single-driver speakers deliver all sound from a virtual point source, creating a pinpoint Real 3D soundstage unlike anything you've experienced.
The Result: Haniwa TrueSound
Engineered by Dr. Tetsuo Kubo—decades of research in sound, audio reproduction, and how the brain processes what we hear.
