This Is SHM-CD 200 Release Campaign

If you've been on the fence about Japan's new standard CD-compatible audiophile format SHM-CD, now is the perfect time to jump in for a test drive. CDJapan is proud to present 200 new SHM-CD releases in genres from rock to classical, plus a brand-new double-disc compilation with the same recordings in both standard CD and SHM-CD format so you can compare for yourself.

Unlike SACD, SHM-CD is a purely physical, entirely compatible high fidelity format requiring no special equipment except a standard CD player. Due to the materials used in their manufacturing, SHM-CDs deflect and refract less of the laser beam from your standard CD player, allowing the laser head to more accurately read data from the disc and recreate the most faithful reproduction of the originally recorded material. This material was discovered through research into LCD display manufacturing, and later brought to market through collaboration between JVC and Universal Music.

Intrigued? Take the first step and try the low-cost, limited edition sampler so you can compare standard CD and SHM-CD for yourself. If you're ready to jump in head first, check out our special features page to see what amazing classics are available in this new format. And if you're already a hardy SHM-CD fan, be sure to check out our SHM-CD page for all the latest news and hit releases from this exciting format (including those outside this campaign). Order now!
