Toward the Realization of High Fidelity in the True Meaning

PLATANUS is an original brand by phono cartridge designer Tetsuya Sukehiro, whose brand policy is to be faithful to the music itself.

In audio equipment, Hi-Fi——High Fidelity means faithful reproduction of the source signal. However, when playing records, it is not always possible to produce a good sound just by tracing the sound groove correctly. Just like a musical instrument, various factors such as the material of the parts and the way the screws are tightened affect the playback sound, so when designing a phono cartridge, it is important to consider how to utilize these factors.

PLATANUS wants to be hi-fi for your musical passion. We create products one by one with our own hands that bring out the energy contained in records not just as sound information, but as living music with a realistic texture.
