We aim to manufacture products with less of an environmental load by reducing the parts and components of the plane wave speaker.
In addition, our goal is to create a system for collecting used and recyclable products. We are also looking into the use of adhesive-less products.

Saves Energy and Reduces Transportation Costs

Example #1: To currently transport conventional cone speakers on a concert tour, it would usually require from 10 to 12 ten-ton trucks (stage setting, lighting, sound equipment, etc. are included altogether).


Example #2: If using FPS speakers, one can save on space and the weight of the items being shipped, which in turn will save the shipper money.

  


Calculation of the amount of gas saved when ten-ton truck transport above acoustic equipment from Tokyo to Fukuoka (round trip).
Round trip to and from Tokyo⇔Fukuoka(Kyushu): About 2,400km
Mileage of one truck : 5km/1litre Contribute to prevent the global warming!
→ Round trip 2,400km÷5=480 litre/truck
480 litre/truck×3 trucks=Possible savings of about 1,440 litre gasoline !
When saving about 1,440 litre, imagine the amount of gas emissions that will be avoided!
