The year was 1985 when Roksan was founded by two recent graduates of the University of London, Imperial Collage London and Queen Mary Collage, Mr. Tufan Hashemi and Mr. Touraj Moghaddam. Due to the Persian origin of the two named founders, the name Roksan is derived from the female name Roxana, who was the daughter of King Darius of Persia. With that mindset, it is not surprising that much of the names of Roksan's various products are references to the names of cities, places and famous people of Persia. Roksan's products are characterized by elegant design and, in terms of price-performance ratio, amazing technical features that will be appreciated by both beginners and advanced audiophiles alike.
