Shape design which we combine to make some of the most exciting
systems on the market.

We are constantly evolving our designs and incorporating the very latest
innovations in technology to stay at the forefront of digital sound. As
phones and tablets have become the media hubs for people’s lives
Azatom products deliver the technology and sound quality to give
people greater freedom and enjoyment from their devices.

We are a fast-growing technology rm with a clear focus on developing

new sound technologies and innovative, high quality products. Our R&D
is based at our Headquarters in Netpark, a Technology cluster here in
the UK. Here we develop new technology, develop patents, carry out
studio sound testing and undertake all aspects of the design of new
products. We have the expertise to take new technologies and
innovations from ideas through to class-leading products.

Technology put through its paces

We use the latest software and equipment to tune our speakers and use
studio space to create the best sounding systems at their respective
prices: Our compact speaker systems produce the sound of larger,
more expensive units. Whilst our larger speaker systems are competi­tive with units costing many times their price.

Unlike many other companies, we are able to produce superior sound
quality through using our own DSP (Digital Sound Processing)
microchips, which we have evolved and ‘tuned’ with extensive
studio testing.

The Azatom DSP chipset lies at the heart of many Azatom products.
Our DSP chips are constantly being developed and tested to ensure the
highest sound performance and reliability for extended use.

The Azatom DSP chip is also tuned to ensure increased Bass

performance without the articial ‘added bass’ which is common

with other systems.

We match our DSP chip with the very best drivers, cones and tweeters
to ensure a smooth, rich sound for the complete system. Our Airflow
technology works in partnership with the DSP chip and speakers to
create the high quality and expansive sounds of larger systems within
smaller, portable speaker cabinets; whilst our larger systems are some
of the most powerful in the market. Our focus is always to produce the
best sounding speakers for playing music from digital devices.

We are passionate about the advances in sound technology and it is our

aim to be recognized as one of the leading companies in our eld by

developing the most advanced technology and exceeding expectations
with our products.
