Originally, works of art, such as art and music, are cultures that have matured over a long period of time as a means of passing on the advanced knowledge and skills acquired by people to the future.
They firmly believe that ESOTERIC’s technologies and know-how for excellent sound quality, which they have acquired since their founding, are also art and culture that should be passed on to the future along with musical works.
In order to pass on the art of music from the past to the present and into the future, they have established the ESOTERIC MASTERING CENTER, an in-house mastering facility for high-quality music software production using Super Audio CD.
The Esoteric Mastering is a laboratory that independently produces high-quality Super Audio CD re-mastered collections, utilising all of ESOTERIC’s technologies for the highest quality sound reproduction.
ESOTERIC’s collection of Super Audio CD masterpieces will provide all music lovers and audiophiles with an opportunity to experience music on a deeper level and encounter new sounds that were previously unattainable.
We hope that the strong bond with music that ESOTERIC brings will give owners a lifelong sense of pride in owning a collection and an even deeper appreciation for works of art.
Now, with the Esoteric Mastering, a further exploration into the deep world of music known as masterpieces will start.
