Everything we make sits on one of four channels. Push a fader up to bring that channel to the front of the shop.
Each card shows the curve we tune to, the driver and the impedance. Sort by your own curve to see the nearest first.
Curves are illustrative: each one is drawn from three tuning notes (bass, mids, treble), not a lab measurement.
CH 01Closed-back
Closed-back over-ear
Over-ear · 290 g · detachable cable
Our everyday closed pair. A little lift in the bass, an even middle, and treble eased back so long evenings stay easy on the ear.
CH 02Closed-back
Wireless over-ear
Over-ear · Bluetooth · 3.5 mm in
Tuned for the train and the street: a fuller low end, mids pulled back a touch, and a little air on top. Plug in the cable when the battery is done.
CH 03Closed-back
Folding on-ear
On-ear · folds flat · 210 g
A light folding pair in cream, voiced warm and close for podcasts, ghazals and reading in a noisy room.
CH 04Corded & open
Open-back on-ear
Open-back on-ear · cloth cable
Brushed aluminium cups and a copper-wound cable. Open at the back, so voices and strings have room to breathe.
CH 05Corded & open
Open-back over-ear
Open-back over-ear · velour pads
Our first open pair, still on the bench every day. Lean in the bass, honest in the middle, a touch of sparkle.
CH 06Corded & open
Studio reference
Closed over-ear · 3 m coiled cable
A plain, flat-drawn reference pair for editing and home recording. Nothing lifted, nothing hidden.
CH 07Studio monitors
Active nearfield monitor
5" woofer · 1" tweeter · sold singly
A small active monitor for a desk or a box room. A hint of extra low end so it does not sound thin close to a wall.
CH 08Studio monitors
Active midfield monitor
8" woofer · 1" tweeter · sold singly
The big one, for rooms where the kick drum matters. Deep low end, an even middle, treble kept calm.
CH 09Studio monitors
Active nearfield pair
Pair · 4" woofers · stands included
A matched pair drawn a little forward in the vocals, for mixing speech, film and songs at arm’s length.
CH 10Bookshelf
Passive bookshelf pair
Pair · passive · teak veneer
Bookshelf speakers in reclaimed teak for the living room. Warm, rounded and easy with old recordings.
CH 11Bookshelf
Passive mini pair
Pair · passive · walnut sides
Two small full-range speakers for a desk or a kitchen shelf. Voices sit right in the middle of the room.
CH 12Bookshelf
Powered desk pair
Pair · powered · USB and 3.5 mm in
A powered pair in chalk white for a work desk. Flat down low and in the middle, a little lift up top for detail.
Nothing in this collection right now.
Put any two side by side. Their curves overlap, the gap between them is shaded, and you can play soft pink noise through each shape.
Pick two to see where their curves part.
Starts quiet and only when you press it. It plays the drawn shape through your own speakers — a sketch of the tuning, not the product itself.
Drivers start in Chennai and finish in Mumbai. Four steps, all by hand, all on the same two benches.
Voice coils are wound and drivers are sorted in Guindy, then sent up the coast in matched boxes.
Felt, foam and the size of a vent decide how the bass settles. We change them until the ringing stops.
Left and right are paired on the bench so both sides draw the same shape before they go into a cup.
Every pair is played in Lower Parel on the same desk, through the same songs, before it is packed.
Both workshops are open to visitors. Write to us about a pair, a repair or a room you want to fill with sound.
