Tellurium Qtm is primarily an audio research and development (R&D) company that also manufactures products.  R & D is at the centre of every decision we take and every product we make.

That is why we design and develop products starting with a completely blank canvas and ask “what is really happening with this process, in these materials” and build on solid fundamentals. That is why you may find that what we produce might look a little different from what you might expect but that is just because we are focused on how to get a better clearer sound. How something looks is of secondary importance because we are working for the serious audiophile and music lover who, like us,wants to hear more in their music. That may be the reason that although our little company has only just appeared on the HiFi scene has immediately been awarded 5 Globes for an entire speaker cable range, awarded cables of the year for the ENTIRE cable range by HiFi Plus magazine and  again product of the year by HIFi World in their Jan 2011 edition. All in the first 12 months!

In January 2010 we had just the Tellurium Black and were sending out the first prototype runs of Tellurium Blue. Today there are 7 different cable products (4 in the complete speaker cable range and 3 interconnects). There are another four products planned for this year alone, two of which are interconnects.

Because we will not make a product that is just good or average, it has to be exceptional or we will not release it, that delayed the launch of our interconnect. While we had a product that was good and would stand up as well as any  other cable it wasn’t truly outstanding. So even though we were told that our sales of speaker cable were being damaged by not having an interconnect to go with the cable we dug our heels in. There is just too much cable in the market now,so unless you can contribute something better and different why waste people’s time?

This is our promise and we are completely serious about it. When you buy a Tellurium Qtm audio product you will be getting what we believe to be the very best available in its price range.

Colin Wonfor who was best known in the audio world for his acclaimed Claymore amplifier, is our technical director who is a specialist in analogue power having a patent for the quietest solid state relay ever, to his name.

Colin also developed the powerful Magnums which a speaker company still uses to this day to test speakers to their limit. Along with other amplifiers such as Proac Magnum, Magnum, Dreadnought, Claymore, Lescon, Oxford Acoustics, etc. He had the distinction of producing the most powerful single ended “A” class in the world - TOCA SECA amp range.

Although he was known for his audio products he is actually an analogue power specialist and that has even taken him to NASA where he designed the most efficient power supply in the world (at the time) for use in the space station. While he was there with them he advised NASA engineers about other classified power projects.

Recently he has made appearances behind the scenes with well known audio companies helping  them to improve their range, preventing transformer hum,improving the sound quality of amplifiers, trouble shooting electronic issues with designs etc.
