KEY FEATURES
NEW CABLE
NISHIKI Wire
A dedicated NISHIKI 16wire Ultimate for FUGAKU 10th AE cable, with sound-quality enhancement processing optimized for this system. NISHIKI wire is also used for the internal wiring connecting the input/output boards of the dedicated amplifier, unifying the signal path with NISHIKI. An Ultimate-grade 4.4 mm-to-4.4 mm interconnect cable made with NISHIKI gold-plated copper shielded cable is included.
PVD Gold Titanium
Dedicated 10th AE Housings
The earphone housings are made of pure titanium in a PVD gold color, evoking Brise Audio's theme color and the image of NISHIKI. The dedicated amplifier features a pure-titanium chassis with PVD black coating, paired with a pure-titanium volume knob in PVD gold.
HCNT
Latest Material: HCNT
HCNT is adopted as one of the materials used in the sound-quality enhancement processing applied to the drivers inside the earphones, the components of the dedicated amplifier, the dedicated cable, and the included interconnect cable.
Crossover Tuning
Dedicated 10th AE Active Crossover Tuning
A dedicated sound curve incorporating the sonic character of the NISHIKI wire.
A signal path unified with NISHIKI
The dedicated cable connecting the amplifier and earphones is the NISHIKI 16wire Ultimate for FUGAKU 10th AE, with sound-quality enhancement processing developed for this system. Its 16-conductor configuration — which independently drives the 5-way drivers with a total of 12 power-amplifier channels — is combined with the character of the NISHIKI wire.
NISHIKI wire is also used for the internal wiring that connects the input and output boards of the dedicated amplifier. By unifying the path from input to output with NISHIKI wire, its tonal character is carried throughout the entire system.
In addition, an Ultimate-grade 4.4 mm-to-4.4 mm interconnect cable made with NISHIKI gold-plated copper shielded cable is included.
Pure titanium, clad in the theme color
The earphone housings use pure titanium in a PVD gold color — Brise Audio's theme color, evoking the image of NISHIKI. Pure titanium, which has a moderate resonance with few of the colorations typical of metals, is given a finish befitting an anniversary model.
The dedicated amplifier pairs a pure-titanium chassis in PVD black coating, expressing the theme color, with a pure-titanium volume knob in PVD gold, shaping the world of the 10th AE through the contrast of black and gold.
The latest material, HCNT, throughout
HCNT, the latest material introduced with NISHIKI, is used in the 10th AE as well, as one of the materials in its sound-quality enhancement processing. It is deployed across the entire system — the drivers inside the earphones, the components of the dedicated amplifier, the dedicated cable, and the included interconnect cable.
Which materials to place where, and in what order — by adding HCNT as a new option to the sound-quality enhancement know-how refined over many years, the tuning for the 10th AE was carried further.
A dedicated sound curve attuned to NISHIKI
Because FUGAKU handles band division with the active crossover inside the dedicated amplifier, its frequency response can be designed freely. The 10th AE takes advantage of this to set a new, dedicated sound curve that incorporates the sonic character of the NISHIKI wire.
By combining NISHIKI's calm, unforced tone with FUGAKU's detailed expression and realism, it aims for a comfortable, immersive listening experience — as though enveloped in an ocean of sound.
The Platform
The FUGAKU Platform
Hybrid drivers × full-analog multi-amplifier
A first-of-its-kind approach
FUGAKU drives three types of drivers — dynamic, balanced-armature, and MEMS — with a full-analog multi-amplifier. By handling band division with an active crossover inside the dedicated amplifier rather than a passive filter inside the earphones, the frequency response can be brought closer to the designer's ideal.
The strength of direct drive
Because an amplifier prepared for each band drives every driver directly, drive capability is high and the sound has a sense of directness. A preamplifier, active filters, and multiple power amplifiers are housed in a single chassis, realized at a scale comparable to a player plus a portable amplifier.

Substance and compactness, together
The low range is driven in balanced mode and the other ranges in unbalanced mode, with a dedicated power amplifier directly driving each driver in every band. A power-supply design that prevents inter-circuit interference and dense three-dimensional packaging fit this substance into a palm-sized chassis.

Dedicated Cable
NISHIKI 16wire Ultimate for FUGAKU 10th AE
A 16-conductor cable designed specifically for this system to convey the power-amplifier signal to each driver without loss. It uses the NISHIKI conductor — silver and copper combined in a proprietary ratio, finished with gold plating and a polyurethane coating — with Ultimate-grade sound-quality enhancement processing tuned for the 10th AE. To independently drive the 5-way drivers with a total of 12 power-amplifier channels, it adopts an 8-conductor-per-side, 16-conductor-total configuration.

NISHIKI MINI for FUGAKU 10th AE
Included Mini-to-Mini Cable
A special mini-to-mini cable made with NISHIKI wire is included to connect your player to the dedicated amplifier. Its four signal conductors use NISHIKI wire of gold-plated pure copper and gold-plated pure silver, wrapped in an outer shield of gold-plated pure copper. Two such cables are used to fully separate the left and right channels. It carries the same NISHIKI voicing as the dedicated cable, unifying the signal path from input to output.
Brise Audio Anniversary — Since 2015
10th Anniversary
Ten years since our founding. From cables, to amplifiers, and then to earphones. The finale of our 10th anniversary projects — the sound envisioned with NISHIKI, brought to FUGAKU.
