Год основания: 1962
Audio-Technica Corporation is a Japanese audio equipment manufacturer founded by Hideo Matsushita in 1962 in Tokyo, building over more than six decades into a comprehensive audio company spanning headphones, microphones, wireless systems, mixers and electronic devices for both home and professional use.
Range & what it's known for
The catalog reflects Audio-Technica's remarkably broad reach across categories, from accessible entry-level turntables and headphones through to serious moving-coil phono cartridges used by professional DJs and audiophiles alike, alongside professional-grade microphones widely used in broadcast, recording and live-sound applications. This breadth across both consumer and professional audio, spanning analogue turntable cartridges as much as digital wireless microphone systems, distinguishes Audio-Technica from most rivals that specialise more narrowly in a single category.
Who owns it and where it's made
Audio-Technica remains an independent Japanese company, founded by Hideo Matsushita in Tokyo in 1962 and continuing to be led by the Matsushita family, with manufacturing spread across Japan and additional facilities established internationally as the company's product range and global reach have expanded over the decades.
The lineup in this catalog
Turntables, cartridges, headphones and microphones (60). Prices span roughly 100 dollars for entry-level turntables and headphones to several thousand dollars for flagship moving-coil cartridges and reference headphones.
Who it's for
Audio-Technica suits buyers wanting a single, comprehensive Japanese audio brand spanning entry-level to serious enthusiast-grade equipment across turntables, cartridges, headphones and microphones alike.
