Audio-Technica celebrates its 50th anniversary with an array of limited edition introductions offering stunningly clear, high-resolution sound quality and elegant design.

2012 is an exciting landmark for Audio-Technica. In 1962, our founder, Hideo Matsushita, opened the doors of our company in a one-story workshop handcrafting stereo phonograph cartridges. 50 years later we have grown into a worldwide audio innovator. We have branched out from our roots in Japan to a presence throughout Asia, Europe and the Americas - offering with each new product and new location more of the acclaimed fidelity and durability that have become synonymous with our name.

We hope our 50-year (and continuing) quest for perfectly articulate audio inspires people all over the world to create and enjoy wonderful works of communication and art. 

On a day late last Fall, I was supposed to be out of the office for the morning, but got stuck inside.  Have you ever had a day like that?  I was expected elsewhere and just kept getting sidetracked. 

The phone rang - again.  This time, it was George, our Electro-Voice sales rep.  He was simply confirming an order that had been sent over earlier that day.  And then he said, almost as an afterthought, "You don't buy closeouts, do you?"   He sluggishly mentioned that someone at EV had emailed all of the sales reps around the country and asked them to sell-off a pile of EV speakers, and wasn't willing to pay them any commission.  How's that for motivation? 

I said, "What do you have?"  George continued, "Well I just got this email that asks 'Who wants to be a hero?' and you're the first person I've talked to since."
