Technology
Revolutionary engineering that redefines what's possible in audio reproduction.
Clean-Sheet Systems Approach
Haniwa breaks free from 75-year-old standards like 8-ohm speakers and universal MC cartridges. Our 1-ohm speaker drivers paired with ultra-efficient GANN amplifier deliver instantaneous response for dynamic musical passages.
Advanced Phono System
Our 0.08-ohm cartridge is an order of magnitude lower than competitors. Combined with our dual-pivot tonearm, it extracts pristine signals from the groove for unparalleled vinyl reproduction.
Flat Phase Response
Advanced digital technology ensures precise phase and frequency control, perfectly replicating the input waveform. While competitors achieve flat frequency response, only Haniwa delivers flat phase response—preserving timing and transients.
Real 3D Soundstage
All sound emanates from a virtual point source using single-driver speakers. This delivers a pinpoint Real 3D soundstage with precise imaging and depth unlike anything you've experienced.
The Science Behind TrueSound
Dr. Tetsuo Kubo, engineer and medical doctor, spent his career developing theories on sound, audio reproduction, and how the brain processes what we hear. The result: a system where output truly equals input.
Output = Input
Frequency + Timing (Phase)
Blue curve: input signal from Art Pepper's saxophone. Red curve: Haniwa system output. The output precisely tracks the original, preserving the saxophone's sharp attack, peak position, and amplitude.
