Product Concept

To keep up with the evolving environment surrounding portable amplifiers in recent years, we have developed WATATSUMI as the next-generation reference portable amplifier.

The original TSURANAGI was developed as a reference evaluation environment for cable development.
This portable amplifier features 4.4mm balanced input and output, which has become the mainstream in portable audio, while pursuing sound quality that does not become a bottleneck for our cables.

More than four years have passed since the release of the original TSURANAGI, and our cable lineup has evolved alongside it.
At Brise Audio today, we offer a diverse range of models, including SHIROGANE, which uses pure silver conductors, and OROCHI, which incorporates a large volume of conductors.

In recent years, the high-end earphone market has seen an increase in low-impedance earphones, leading to greater demands for low-noise performance in amplifiers.

At the same time, there has been a rise in high-end headphones that require large amounts of power, increasing the demand for amplifiers capable of high output.
Taking these factors into account, we developed WATATSUMI to redefine our high-end cable evaluation environment.

WATATSUMI inherits the concept of the original TSURANAGI while aiming for improvements in every aspect.
To achieve this, we completely redesigned the circuit from the ground up and adopted the low-noise BIS2.0 input stage used in FUGAKU.

The output amplifier has also been upgraded to BOS1.5, increasing the maximum output to 2000mW+2000mW at a 16Ω load—approximately three times higher than before.
The PCB layout was also fundamentally optimized by leveraging the expertise and knowledge we have accumulated over the years.
The power supply circuit has been updated to BPS1.5, providing more stable voltage and significantly contributing to deeper and more grounded low-frequency reproduction.

In addition, the internal wiring uses pure silver wire with a greater conductor volume than SHIROGANE, and high quality sound processing has been applied to electronic components to ensure compatibility with a wide range of cables and players.

The year 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of Brise Audio. WATATSUMI is a special model that represents the culmination of our portable amplifier development, incorporating all the expertise we have gained through TSURANAGI, FUGAKU, and SHIROGANE.
