Acoustic signal processing technology was born in the telecommunications industry and has been refined over the years. This technology is now transcending the boundaries of the industry and is about to resonate in every corner of the world.
The three core members who created the turning point were the catalyst for the birth of NTT Sonority.
NTT sonority will work hand in hand with these members and collaborative partners to produce an unprecedented acoustic space.
We promise to deliver excitement and surprise to you.

Inspiration" to create something from nothing
He is the creator of the Personal Sound Zone (PSZ) technology. In the early stages of the development of PSZ, when the members of the team heard the concept, they were skeptical about the idea and its effectiveness because it was so outlandish and without precedent. The best quality of sound depends on the situation, for example whether you are sleeping, concentrating, or exercising. The driving force behind the development of our products is our uncompromising commitment to "sound quality" while being conscious of TPO.

An inquiring mind that faces the truth with a pure heart.
A researcher and developer of acoustical technology at NTT. He is the leader of the group that unites the researchers, but he is also a very hands-on person who travels to various industrial development bases in Europe and the United States to develop new technologies. As a result, Kobayashi's voice processing technology is already being used in automobiles, robots, and computer peripherals that you use on a daily basis. Kobayashi's unparalleled "inquisitive mind" was also indispensable in the commercialization of PSZ technology.

“The linking bridge” from R&D to commercialization, from Japan to the world.
He has been involved in the commercialization of technologies and services for many years, bringing overseas technologies to Japan and Japanese technologies to overseas.In this project, he has been inherited the intentions of the R&D members and supporting their dreams by realizing alliances in Japan and overseas that transcend the boundaries of industries, such as the aviation, automobile, furniture, and medical industries. With dreaming of the day when NTT's technology will be used around the world as a matter of course.
