About Phitek Systems Limited
Phitek Systems is the world's leading supplier of electro-acoustic
technologies for audio enhancement and active noise cancellation. Focused on
innovation and invention, Phitek provides global customers with creative
solutions for the effective reduction of ambient noise based on its patented
Active Noise Rejection (ANR(TM)) technology.
Phitek ANR(TM) was originally developed for use in commercial passenger
aircraft where background noise is insidious leading to hearing loss, fatigue
and stress. Today, Phitek ANR(TM) is used by more than 50 airlines worldwide,
servicing more than 15 million passengers each year. The technology works by
measuring the noise field close to the ear and then calculating an
"antinoise" response which is sent to the headphone speaker. The noise and
antinoise signals combine to yield near silence. Phitek ANR(TM) is very
effective at reducing background noise and unlike alternatives tunes its
response to suit prevailing noise conditions.
Beyond aviation, Phitek ANR(TM) technology is utilised by leading brands
in audio and mobile music and has been recognised by leading publications
including Wired Magazine, PC Magazine and Macworld as "best-in-class".
Phitek's impressive portfolio of patented solutions spans commercial
aviation, consumer audio and mobile telephone segments in both in-ear, and
on-ear formats. The company is a member of CSR's eXtension partner programme
and is active in developing world first solutions for Bluetooth monaural and
binaural applications.
Phitek is headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand with offices located in
Hong Kong, Shenzhen, PRC, San Jose, California, Lausanne, Switzerland and
Tokyo, Japan. For more information about Phitek Systems Limited please visit
