Harman Kardon audio products

Harman Kardon is a prominent American brand recognized globally for its high-fidelity audio equipment and automotive sound systems. Founded in 1953 by Sidney Harman and Bernard Kardon in Stamford, Connecticut, the company played a pivotal role in the development of the high-fidelity audio industry, notably introducing the world's first true high-fidelity receiver.

Over the decades, the brand became synonymous with luxury sound, expanding its reach into home theaters, portable speakers, and premium car audio systems for major manufacturers. While the brand's heritage is deeply rooted in American engineering and design, its manufacturing footprint is global, with production occurring across various facilities in Asia and other regions to meet international demand.

In March 2017, the brand underwent a significant ownership change when Harman International Industries was acquired by Samsung Electronics. Today, Harman Kardon operates as a flagship brand within the Harman division of Samsung, benefiting from the South Korean conglomerate's vast technological resources while maintaining its distinct identity as a premium audio pioneer.
