The year was 1962. A revolution in sound technology was on the brink of taking place that would have made Thomas Edison both proud and envious. When Mr Matsushita first opened the doors, in what he described as a onestorey ’barracks’ in Tokyo’s Shinjuku-ku, Audio-Technica’s first home, he may or may not have been aware of the incredible opportunities that lay ahead all around the world. That the bourgeoning youth culture of the time would, in many ways, eventually become key to the development and success of Audio-Technica for its cartridges, headphones and microphones. AT-701 One of the three inaugural models of dynamic headphones introduced in 1974 to which Audio-Technica devoted all its skills to some 35 years ago. 4 From the humble beginnings of my father some 47 years ago, Audio-Technica grew to become a leading manufacturer of phonograph cartridges, producing at one stage half the world’s cartridges. It was an era when such cartridges were a symbol of technological expertise for audio manufacturers – as cartridges were essential for reproducing sounds from analogue records. At this time, we were also a leading producer of tone arms which were used to support the cartridges. We started to develop headphones in the early 1970s, when the demand for the components was so rapid that it grew on a daily basis. This was an important symbiosis, and we were proud of being able to produce high quality headphones using our precision technology. As both headphones and cartridges are both audio transducers, our aim was not only to make the world’s best cartridges, but also the best headphones. In 1974, three models of the inaugural AT-700 series were born. These models represent the origin of our headphones, which has led us to today’s ATH series you see here, in this catalogue. Since the introduction of our first headphone 35 years ago, Audio-Technica headphones have developed consistently and continuously to compete with the world’s best, in terms of design, technical achievement and quality. Kazuo Matsushita President 5 high-fidelity open back and closed back headphones Hi-Fi headphones fall into two basic categories. One is the open-back headphone, which is designed to allow the passage of air between the ears and the headphones. This design gives a character to the sound that is often described as being very natural, however one disadvantage of the open back design is that the sound is able to leak out making it audible to those around you. The other is the closed-back type, in which the structure is enclosed to prevent air leaking out. These headphones are designed to reduce the effect of external noise on your listening and also to keep the sound made by the headphone from disturbing those around you. However some types incorporate features of both and it’s difficult to clearly categorise them. The design of the driver units differs from model to model, to provide differing qualities of acoustics and comfort. Looking back at our history, we can see that the popularity of the types has changed from era to era. In the 1980s, open-backed types were more mainstream, whilst recent years have favoured closed-back. Now, yet again, more people are choosing open-back models. 6 open back These open back headphones produce no sense of pressure on the ears resulting in a completely natural sensation AD1000 With a specially designed diaphragm and a high purity OFC-7N voice coil, the AD1000s faithfully recreate a natural sound field and excel at accurately reproducing classical and audiophile material.
