Get to know us

Azatom brand is a UK-based high-tech company owned by 4Cool Technology Ltd which specialises in creating innovative speaker systems and high-end partner products for iPads, iPhones, iPods and other Tablets and Smartphones. We have a clear focus on improving sound performance for digital products. Azatom has unique, proprietary technology in the areas of DSP (Digital Sound Processing), Airflow and Shape design which we combine to make some of the most exciting systems on the market.

We are constantly evolving our designs and incorporating the very latest innovations in technology to stay at the forefront of digital sound. As phones and tablets have become the media hubs for people’s lives Azatom products deliver the technology and sound quality to give people greater freedom and enjoyment from their devices.

We are a fast-growing technology firm with a clear focus on developing new sound technologies and innovative, high quality products. Our R&D is based at our Headquarters in Netpark, a Technology cluster here in the UK. Here we develop new technology, develop patents, carry out studio sound testing and undertake all aspects of the design of new products. We have the expertise to take new technologies and innovations from ideas through to class-leading products.

Technology put through its paces
We use the latest software and equipment to tune our speakers and use studio space to create the best sounding systems at their respective prices: Our compact speaker systems produce the sound of larger, more expensive units. Whilst our larger speaker systems are competitive with units costing many times their price.

Unlike many other companies, we are able to produce superior sound quality through using our own DSP (Digital Sound Processing) microchips, which we have evolved and ‘tuned’ with extensive studio testing.
The Azatom DSP chipset lies at the heart of many Azatom products. Our DSP chips are constantly being developed and tested to ensure the highest sound performance and reliability for extended use.
The Azatom DSP chip is also tuned to ensure increased Bass performance without the artificial ‘added bass’ which is common with other systems.
We match our DSP chip with the very best drivers, cones and tweeters to ensure a smooth, rich sound for the complete system. Our Airflow technology works in partnership with the DSP chip and speakers to create the high quality and expansive sounds of larger systems within smaller, portable speaker cabinets; whilst our larger systems are some of the most powerful in the market. Our focus is always to produce the best sounding speakers for playing music from digital devices.
We are passionate about the advances in sound technology and it is our aim to be recognized as one of the leading companies in our field by developing the most advanced technology and exceeding expectations with our products.
