Phonic is a Taiwanese professional audio manufacturer founded in 1977 by Stephen Minlie Wang. Headquartered in Taipei with offices in Shanghai and Tampa, Florida, the company first gained prominence as a dominant force in DJ mixer production, at one point supplying over 85% of the total DJ mixers sold worldwide. Throughout the 1980s, Phonic operated as an OEM supplier to various audio companies, including a technology transfer and OEM cooperation with Yamaha beginning in 1986. In the 1990s, the company transitioned to developing and marketing its own branded product lines.

Phonic manufactures a broad range of professional audio equipment spanning mixers, loudspeakers, studio monitors, amplifiers, wireless systems, conference systems, and signal processors. Notable product lines include the Helix Board series of USB and FireWire mixing consoles designed for computer-based recording, the Safari series of portable PA systems, and the PowerPod line of powered mixers. The company's PAA3 Personal Audio Assistant, a handheld audio analyzer with 31-band real-time spectrum analysis and SPL measurement, has earned recognition among live sound engineers for its affordability and ease of use.

As the first publicly traded audio company in Taiwan, Phonic operates ISO-certified factories and distributes its products across more than 50 countries. The company serves a wide range of applications including live events, permanent installations, recording studios, and conference environments.
