Kenwood CR-ST100S Smart Radio

The Kenwood CR-ST100S is a modern smart radio that embodies the historical legacy of the Kenwood brand, originally established in Japan in 1946 as the Kasuga Radio Co., Ltd. While Kenwood was once an independent powerhouse in the hi-fi and communications sector, the brand underwent a significant transformation in 2008 when it merged with JVC to form JVCKENWOOD Corporation.

Today, the production of consumer audio products like the CR-ST100S is primarily handled in China under strict quality control standards. The brand remains a cornerstone of the JVCKENWOOD group, which is headquartered in Yokohama, Japan. The CR-ST100S is designed to integrate traditional FM/DAB+ radio with modern streaming capabilities such as Spotify Connect and Bluetooth, maintaining the brand's reputation for high-quality audio engineering while adapting to the digital age.
