Cresyn was first launched in 1959 as Daehan Phonograph Needle Factory, a manufacturer of phonograph needles. The Cresyn philosophy, which focuses on innovation, quality and competitiveness through customer value creation, is firmly embedded in Phiaton.

In ancient Greece, the letter ‘PHI’ symbolized the ‘golden ratio’, an elegant mathematical concept that has long fascinated great thinkers because it represents symmetry of form that is both structurally balanced and aesthetically pleasing to the senses. The use of ‘PHI’ in Phiaton defines a pleasurable listening experience made possible by expertly designed audio technology. ‘TON’ is used in many contexts, but in Phiaton, it has a double meaning. Its inspiration comes both from the English word tone, referring to the character and quality of sound, and from the French use of ton to mean fashionable style.

Through innovation, continuous research and the ongoing development and refining of new technologies, Phiaton produces premium-class audio devices that blend superior, authentic sound reproduction with stylish looks and luxurious comfort.
