Est. year: 2010
64 Audio is an American in-ear monitor specialist based in Vancouver, Washington, founded in July 2010 by sound engineer Vitaliy Belonozhko and his wife Anastasia in Portland, Oregon, originally under the name 1964 Ears before rebranding to 64 Audio that same September. Belonozhko, a sound engineer with more than a decade of experience working with Northwest musicians and production companies, built his first pair of custom in-ear monitors for his own wife around 2008, frustrated with the limitations of the in-ear monitors then available compared with traditional floor wedges. That single home-built pair grew into a company now employing all four Belonozhko brothers, all musicians and sound engineers with backgrounds in live production and performing.
Range & what it's known for
64 Audio builds exclusively custom and universal-fit in-ear monitors for touring musicians, front-of-house engineers, studio producers and audiophiles, with no amplifiers, speakers or other hi-fi categories anywhere in the lineup. Its two defining proprietary technologies are apex (Air Pressure Exchange), a vented module system that relieves the pneumatic pressure typically built up in sealed IEMs and reduces listener fatigue over long sessions, and tia (tubeless in-ear audio), an open balanced-armature design that delivers sound directly to the ear without the internal sound tubes conventional multi-driver IEMs rely on. The current range spans flagship models such as the U18s, U12t, U6t and Nio, alongside the more accessible Aspire series and the Volur and Duo models.
Who owns it and where it's made
64 Audio remains privately owned and family-run by the Belonozhko brothers rather than part of a larger corporate group. All custom and universal in-ear monitors are designed, assembled and quality-controlled at the company's own facility in Vancouver, Washington, rather than outsourced to Asian contract manufacturers, a point the brand emphasises heavily in its own marketing.
The lineup in this catalog
Headphones and in-ear monitors (5). No amplifiers, speakers or source components. Prices span roughly 1,000 dollars for entry Aspire universal models to well over 3,000 dollars for flagship custom and universal monitors like the U18s.
Who it's for
64 Audio suits touring musicians and studio engineers who need dependable, low-fatigue stage monitors, and audiophiles specifically chasing a tubeless, open balanced-armature in-ear sound.
