The ability to understand total concepts lies behind the Kinshaw ethos. Audio equipment, sound, human hearing and the acoustic environment all have such massive implications for the end result that you hear. Yet there are factions of the audio industry that promote pseudo-science with extravagant marketing. Others make a great play on one particular aspect of design.

The truth is that many areas of audio are far more complex, with more variables than are often considered. Only by paying attention to all of these, with relevant priority, will the right result even begin to appear.

Kinshaw is about holistic engineering with an incredible attention to detail. Using old fashioned sentiments - 'if a job's not worth doing properly - then don't do it at all'

Peter Hawkins is Kinshaws chief scientist. Not only does he have the depth of knowledge required to innovate within this industry - he has an incredible ear. In addition to Kinshaw, Peter has been instumental in the design and development of products for a number of leading international audio companies as well as senior reviewer for Car Audio magazine.
As a founder of Kinshaw, Peter is able to be fully control the development. For example, if the design requires a separate power supply - it gets one. His style and depth of understanding is evident in the Vehicle Audio system - which outperforms some rather expensive demestic systems.
