The main focus in developing the TMA-1 has been to produce
a design that on the one hand is an icon of headphones and
on the other hand works and looks like a tool for the user. This
approach involved stripping out as much as possible whilst
exaggerating the details that are necessary to make the de-
sign work both technically and visually. There is a central DNA
which controls and influences every aspect of the design en-
suring that the different elements of the headphones com-
bine perfectly to enhance the final product. No nonsense and
straight up.
W H Y T M A - 1 ?
The name TMA-1 is taken from Stanley Kubrick's science fiction
movie '2001: A Space Odyssey'. TMA-1 (Tycho Magnetic Anom-
aly-1) refers to the apparent magnetic irregularity found at the
Tycho crater on the Moon's surface by American astronauts. A
black Monolith buried 40 feet under the lunar surface causes
the anomaly.
In the background to the story in the book, an ancient and un-
seen alien race uses mechanisms with the appearance of large
crystal Monoliths to investigate worlds all across the galaxy
and, if possible, to encourage the development of intelligent
life. The monoliths are extremely long-lived and reliable ma-
chines and resist destructive testing beyond the theoretical
limits of material strength. We thought this name was fitting
for our rugged, all black DJ headphone.

A very important part of the TMA-1 development is the thor-
ough integration of DJs in testing and modifying the product.
This lead-user driven approach to development has given valu-
able insights. For more information please check tma-1.com
