Our booth at HIGH END 2026 will showcase the AK4911 and AK4912 premium audio op amps, designed to embody the VELVET SOUND™ philosophy of bringing you into a world of sound "as if you were there." These new devices deliver a powerful and lifelike audio experience with an outstanding sense of dynamics and dimensionality.
We will also present system-level demonstrations that allow visitors to experience the performance of analog output stages under practical acoustic conditions. These demonstrations emphasize natural tonal balance, spatial realism, and consistent listening quality, reflecting AKM’s philosophy that sound should ultimately be judged by the human ear, rather than focusing solely on measurement data.
Our team will be available for technical discussions and private listening sessions. Please stop by, whether it's to discuss technology or just how much we all love audio. We look forward to meeting you!

A complete listening experience is not easily quantifiable, and cannot be faithfully re-created through the pursuit of numerical perfection alone. Such an achievement requires deep knowledge and expertise in sound quality, from system design to component selection. It also requires our designers to trust their ears, and not just their measurements.
At AKM, we've accumulated more than 35 years' worth of knowledge and experience in the field of audio product development. We are continuously learning, and improving our system design, audio IC, software, and tuning technologies to deliver a world of sound that makes you feel "as if you were there" in any environment.
VELVET SOUND is widely adopted from home to high-end equipment and is also deployed in VELVET SOUND for Cars, which works on creating acoustic spaces inside vehicles.
