”The product we always wanted”
Following repeated trial listening sessions to select the right combination of parts and materials, and using our own braided wires for internal wiring, MUSICLIFE offers supreme sound quality and serves up the pleasure of music beyond any level!
The full-range speakers (3-inch) use paper cone and neodymium magnet to transmit natural sound quality in high resolution. The shaved wood horn mechanism realizes a natural spreading of the sound. The amplifier delivers our commitment to high-quality sound with an original BTL (balanced transformerless) schematic, frameground processing, and more.
Comments from sound professionals who listened to our prototype…

The PHONON MUSICLIFE is a great referencing tool in the studio when you want to shift away from NS10’s or your main reference monitors. Although it has a similar shape to an actual boombox, the fidelity of sound is surprisingly good, and the added bluetooth functionality is pretty handy as well – no cables required!
the beautiful mirror-finished “Woody Black Mirror” (WB)
and “Sunburst” (SB), which tickles the heart of music lovers
Equipped with professional studio standard XLR balanced input (+4 dB) and consumer audio equipment standard LINE input (-10 dB), with an SW gain switch that enables level matching between connected devices (XLR / LINE combo jack). Also features the convenience of Bluetooth, with SBC and high sound-quality AAC as well as aptX correspondence.

The original live sound.
After extensive sound quality tuning, here is our long awaited high definition sound cables, the phonon Great Wave series.
The physical make up of a cable defines its sound quality, the phonon Great Wave series uses a unique combination of quality materials and fine tuning to achieve the truest natural reproduction of the original live sound.
Characteristics
- phonon unique focus on true natural sound
- Cuts-off outside noise through high performance shield
Sound Characteristics *
- A high resolution and powerful open sound quality
- A fast responding sound not affecting the rhythm of the music
The hi-performance shield protects from the vibrations of the electricity and the conducting wires, allowing the honest live sound to come through. After repeating countless phases of production trial and evaluation, phonon has finally put together a great sound!
Nakamura Tadashi a.k.a. urban (recording engineer)
I have been using the Great Wave cables to import my mixes. With this cable I feel more the amplitude of the horizontal spread of the sound and the musical rhythm of my mix. Just like you take a film out, you feel you can see better the information between the space between one sound and another. It is a different feeling you get when compared to using DSD (Direct Stream Digital), so from now I will not hesitate between these 2 options. Thank you always for all your killer products. I can’t wait to listen to your new products!
