History of QED Hi-Fi and Audio Products

QED, an acronym for "Quality, Excellence, and Design," is a British company that has been manufacturing high-quality Hi-Fi and audio products since 1973. Founded by Bob Abraham and Ian Vine, QED has a rich history of innovation and dedication to delivering exceptional audio performance to its customers. This article will delve into the company's history, exploring its growth, pioneering products, and its impact on the audio industry.

The Early Years (1973-1980)

QED was born out of Bob Abraham and Ian Vine's shared passion for music and sound quality. They started the company in their garage in Croydon, England, with the aim of creating high-quality audio cables that would enhance the listening experience for audiophiles.

In 1978, QED introduced its first product, the QED 42, a loudspeaker cable that quickly gained recognition for its superior performance. The success of the QED 42 established the company as a market leader in audio cables and set the stage for future innovations.

Expansion and Innovation (1980-1990)

During the 1980s, QED continued to expand its product range, introducing interconnects, speaker stands, and other accessories to enhance the audio experience. The company also focused on research and development, leading to the creation of the QED Genesis Silver Spiral cable in 1989. This cable featured silver-plated copper conductors and a unique spiral design that provided a significant improvement in sound quality over conventional cables.

The Digital Age (1990-2000)

As the audio industry embraced digital technology, QED adapted by developing new products to cater to the growing market. In 1995, the company introduced the QED QUNEX, a range of digital interconnects that offered exceptional performance and value.

During this period, QED also expanded its international presence, exporting its products to over 40 countries worldwide. This global expansion helped solidify QED's reputation as a leading provider of high-quality audio products.

The New Millennium (2000-Present)

In the 21st century, QED has continued to innovate and expand its product range. The company has introduced several award-winning products, including the QED Reference HDMI cable and the QED XT40 speaker cable, both of which have received numerous accolades for their performance and design.

QED has also embraced the growing trend of wireless audio, launching the QED uPlay range of Bluetooth receivers and streamers. These products allow users to enjoy high-quality audio from their smartphones, tablets, and other wireless devices.

Conclusion

Over the past four decades, QED has established itself as a major player in the Hi-Fi and audio industry, thanks to its commitment to quality, excellence, and design. The company's dedication to research and development has resulted in numerous innovations and industry-leading products that have shaped the audio landscape.
