"Simple and Human"
That is the motto of Opera Audio. Opera Audio is one of the first international high end audio manufacturers in China, established in 1994 by Shi Hui Liu. It has always been a family operation and has grown significantly in the past 30 years, from his first tube amplifier to becoming the first high-end turntable manufacturer in China, to designing and manufacturing a complete line of products for music reproduction.

Mr Liu has always been a huge fan of Italian opera and hence many of Opera's products are named after operas or opera singers. When people think of Italian opera, one may consider class, purity and great detail. This is what Mr Liu and the family of Opera Audio want people to feel when their products are experienced. They want to bring the beauty of music to music lovers around the world.

"Simple" - Opera Audio strives for purity in sound but in the simplest of ways. The products are simple and yet refined - the highly detailed design is contained within, with simplicity on the outside, and absolute focus on the music.

"Human" - Opera Audio is founded on the principle of human experience and pleasure through the art of sound reproduction of music. The goal is to reproduce music in the most natural and enjoyable manner to the human ear, it is not a technological quest or a hobby for its own sake but rather an appreciation of sound and music for all who are discerning and in pursuit of finer things.

The founder of Opera Audio is Shi Hui Liu. Everyone simply calls him Liu. He grew up in a unique environment around the University of Beijing Foreign studies. During his childhood, his parents were responsible for Liu being touched by western music and he fell in love with its enchantment. At the age of 8, he made a headphone radio by himself and started his journey down the road to high-end audio. Liu is an optical-mechanical engineer by training with a tremendous passion for music. He accumulated a great deal of design experience and lost no time in enlarging his vision and integrating resources from home and abroad. He believes that excellent audio products can be vivid and dramatic and have resonance in people’s hearts. Some audio designers can have a desire for deep artistic accomplishments, and engineer products to extract every musical detail through hearing and feeling. If you meet Liu you will find that he is an optimistic man and that he has extensive interests and upholds the arts and desires to taste the good things in life. He is also a collector and connoisseur of vinyl records.
