Our
story

From military technology to virtual reality audio for gaming, Nahimic was founded in 2004 by two former classmates in engineering school, Tuyen Pham and Ambroise Recht. Their goal was to bring innovation to a stagnant Audio sector facing thriving and ever-evolving visual technology industry.



Our Mission


We enable the Best Audio experience, whatever the content and on any devices.


Audio technologies are late compared to visual technologies. All the devices from smartphones to notebooks have nowadays incredible image quality, but something is missing… the Sound.


From the user perspective, there are still lots of audio issues unsolved: the lack of intelligibility of Skype calls because the volume is not loud enough, the clarity of dialogs on Netflix or Youtube forcing you to play constantly with the volume or simply the sound quality of your favorite music on Spotify or Apple music on your earbuds compared to heavier gears…


Nahimic solves those issues with a software. It will ensure you the best sound experience, whatever the content (Music, Movies, Communications, Gaming) and on any devices you are using (Internal speakers, any pair of headphones or speakers).



Our Achievements


From Military projects to Global Consumer market.


Nahimic started with military and industrial projects at its foundation delivering high-end sound engine and 3D Sound recording systems. In 2010, Nahimic pivots to address only the consumer electronics market.


From our first customer in PC Peripheral, to nowadays major brands of Laptop and PC, Nahimic managed to become the leader in the PC Gaming audio industry, now powering tens of millions of audio products of gamers.


These products with Nahimic inside deliver the most precise 3D sound experience offering an unfair advantage to competing players who want to perform in their games or simply immerse the end user into the heart of the movie or music with an enhanced sound quality.


In 2018, Nahimic brings all these technologies to Mac Users for Movie or Music Lovers. PC users will follow soon.
